Hi friends,

Could any one me in writing a method which reads all Unicode
characters supported in ruby or else using regular expressions.

Thanks in advance,

Ruby does not support unicode.

Really?

$ ruby -KU -r jcode -e 'p "R=E9sum=E9".jsize'
6

Is there any possibilities using regular expressions or writing own
methods for unicode charatcers?

How does that prove the ruby supports unicode? Where are there any
unicode characters in your string?

1/ There's a difference between codepoints and characters, speaking of
unicode "characters" is confusing at best.

2/ "Supporting unicode" is probably meaningless (which unicode encoding
by the way?), building UTF-8 applications in Ruby is perfectly doable
thanks to jcode, regex UTF-8 support, ... I know, among other things
it's what I built my company on.

The example above obviously assumes an UTF-8 locale in the terminal you
type it...
For more data, just try size instead of jsize in the same example and
read jcode's rdoc.

If the code was not character aware, it would have returned a count of =20=

the bytes in the String (more than six). String#size, for example.

I entered the accented e characters in UTF-8, that's why you see the -=20=

KU switch to tell Ruby the encoding.

I think this may have been discussed before, but -KU doesn't work for
me on Windows XP. I get an unterminated string error with the
"R=E9sum=E9" UTF-8 encoded string. I can only assume that the parser is
still interpreting the string as one byte per character. Anyone have
any ideas?
