set encoding to UTF-8 (for special characters) about csv2md HOT 12 CLOSED

Tried it on another windows computer even, and it is working fine. Must be a setting on my other machine.

from csv2md.

@DarmstadtBri, thanks for the contribution! If not difficult, send a minimal example with expected and actual results.

It seems to be working fine:

Input:

a,b
ä,ö

Output:

| a | b |
| - | - |
| ä | ö |

Original CSV:

word;status
Über;bad
Redefreiheit;good
Fußball;bad
östlich;bad
Fähre;bad
noUmlaut;good
Weizen;good
Korn;good

from csv2md.

Hi Lev, Thanks for writing the library! Attached is a sample table and result. Maybe you could add a parameter for encoding. Another error: If the CSV contains empty lines, it writes an empty markdown table. Cheers, Brian | word;status | | ----------------- | | Über;bad | | Redefreiheit;good | | Fußball;bad | | östlich;bad | | Fähre;bad | | noUmlaut;good | | Weizen;good | | Korn;good |

I have opened a separate issue for the ";" delimiter not working.

It still working for me fine (with version 1.1.2):

csv2md a.csv -d ";" > a.md

Original CSV and result: archive.zip.

Maybe you need check encoding on your host machine?

Aha. I did not save to file, but copied out of the console

Hm, maybe you have to set encoding to UTF-8 in your terminal:)

Strange, even when I write to file I get this on windows:
mdTable.txt

The symbols have changed strangely.

I'm totally sure that Windows tries to write the result with it's own encoding. That's why you get such result. I've opened my a.md with win-1251 encoding and got the same strange symbols. Unfortunately, I haven't used Windows for five years and don’t know how to help you. Maybe you need to change global system encoding to UTF-8.

Ok, that could well be the cause. Thanks for the help.
