Error running script?

[jasonshanks]

Hi - please forgive my ruby newbie (see what I did there) query.

• have Ruby 2.0 (Mavericks)
• installed chronic gem
• adjusted the files like to read: files = Dir["/Users/jason/Dropbox/Notes/_Tasks/*.txt"]
• my task paper files are all in this folder in format: T - filename.txt

I get the following error when I manually ruby TaskPaperDaily.rb

TaskPaperDaily.rb:54:in `gsub!': invalid byte sequence in US-ASCII (ArgumentError)
from TaskPaperDaily.rb:54:in `block in <main>'
from TaskPaperDaily.rb:24:in `each'
from TaskPaperDaily.rb:24:in `<main>'

Appreciate any insight you might have. Brilliant idea that hopefully gets natively built in to app!

try adding

Encoding.default_external = Encoding::UTF_8
Encoding.default_internal = Encoding::UTF_8

at the top of script. regards
