[...] Yes, but I am not interested in the number of bytes, I would like to know the number of characters, which is not the same thing. Räksmörgås is ten characters but is reported as 13 bytes since åäö are stored as multi-byte characters. I use the Statistics for Document / Selection (word count) command from the Text Bundle and the ruby script uses wc -l for statistics, which is not Unicode aware AFAIK.
Actually ‘wc’ _is_ multi-byte (encoding) aware. But for that, one has to use the -m[ulti-bytes] instead of -c[haracters].
So for a quick fix, change ‘wc -lwc’ in the command to ‘wc -lwm’ and it should work as you expect.
Not for me on Mac ppc 10.4.11.
Oops. Of course, one has to set LC_ALL in the Ruby script.
In the bundle command 'Statistics for Doc/sel (Word Count) one should write:
... counts = `export LC_ALL=en_GB.UTF-8;wc -lwm`.scan(/\d+/) ...
