Thanx fredo. I use sketchup 2017. i have to update my profile.

i've written these

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""
puts a.encoding
puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
puts b.encoding

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")

and ruby said;

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]+""

puts a.encoding
Windows-1254

puts b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")

puts b.encoding
UTF-8

puts a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].encode("UTF-8")
C:\Users\Ali Yönder\AppData\Local

but still my problem is not solved. maybe i have to format my pc. i do not know.

Thanx for replies again

i've written ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect

ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"].inspect
"C:\Users\Ali Y\xF6nder\AppData\Local"

Thanx for reply TIG & Fredo

I've written

• a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]
• b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")
• b.encoding

to ruby conlose.

but it has failed again.

a = ENV["LOCALAPPDATA"]

b = a.force_encoding("UTF-8")

SketchUp:1:in `eval'

b.encoding
Error: #<NoMethodError: undefined method encoding' for nil:NilClass> <main>:in <main>'
