[basex-talk] Encoding problem with proc:system

Hello all,

I am running a system command with proc:system. The command should return xml, but because of non-ascii letters, the returned string gets scrambled. (I am aware that proc:system receives a string, proc:execute returns an element.)

Running the system command in a shell works fine, I get this (snippet)

<element>aapõ</element>

When running the command through proc:system, I get this instead

<element>aap....lement>

Where the õ (= C3 B5 in hex representation) has been replaced with F5 BC AF B0.

I get the same result specifying the encoding option of proc:system with "utf-8" or just leaving blank. My shell uses utf-8.

How could I find out what encoding I need to use in the proc:system function?

Best regards, Kristian K
