Hello,
I want to include hebrew content in my shoes application.
When I launch my application that has hebrew strings, I get the following
error:
   invalid multibyte char (UTF-8)
   unterminated strings meets end of file
   syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting keyword_end
Please help me.
Thanks,
Ariel

Hi Ariel,

Did you add a magic comment?
Try out the following snippet. ;-)

# coding: UTF-8
require 'green_shoes'
Shoes.app do
  para "Hebrew characters: אבגדה"
end

Ariel,

Just to add that the below works fine here on Windows XP, (red) Shoes
r1514 with and without the # coding line.

So perhaps it could be something to do with Windows 7 or your Windows setup?

Oops, sorry. In Red Shoes, there is no need to add the second line, of
course. :-P

Still doesn't work. I get the same error. Might it be something in my
computer? I can't figure it out.
By the way, my code is just like ashbb's code.

Umm,... As Steve said earlier, could you give us a link to your code?

Seriously, my code is just like yours.

Shoes.app do
  para "כגשכגד"
end

I tried that before even starting to make my app, to see that it works.
By the way, I just realised hebrew encoding doesn't work at all on my
computer, even with simple ruby code. (Writing to files)
I'm really confused, though I belive it's not a shoes problem.

This works just fine on my Ubuntu system. Which OS are you using?

You have to add the following `magic comment` at the first line.

         # coding: UTF-8

I did. Still no luck.

Ah, umm,....

How about this one?

Shoes.app do
  para "Hebrew characters: \u05D0\u05D1\u05D2\u05D3\u05D4"
end

It works very well!
What is it called? I would like to find a decoder that would generate such
strings. I would even make one myself if necessary.
Thanks.

Ariel,

If you have a file stored Hebrew characters.
Try out the following.

C:\tmp>irb
irb(main):001:0> IO.read('hebrew.txt', encoding: 'utf-8').inspect
=> "\"\\u05D0\\u05D1\\u05D2\\u05D3\\u05D4\\n\""

I find that as an ugly solution, though it works.
Thanks.
