Hi,
A question about filesystem and specialchars:
I have problems with certain files, which contains special chars, converted
in my shell to questionmarks, appear to be ascii chars.
For instance: a file called "untitled ", appears in the shell as
un?titled? but when I use "less" i get un^Ětitled^\
-rw-r----- 1 ftp nobody 42 19 Aug 02:20 un?titled?
frodo# less un^Ětitled^\
Looking in the Ascii table gives
140 8C Π%8C %8C
204 Ě CC Ì %CC %CC
---- ----
How does FreeBSD get from to ^Ě ?
I'm creating a script so I need to know what conversion table is used by
FreeBSD, so that I can access the file from my script
without having to execute a command "less" or worse if the specialchar was
placed initially, I dont have a clue what the file is called.
I have my locale set to
MM_CHARSET=ISO-8859-1
LANG=sv_SE.ISO_8859-1
I'm greatful for any input on this subject.
Jim
