OK now the filenames are well displayed in the console
\BUT ...
It still does not work with apache ( 404 file not found ! )
here is the log of apache when trying to access a filename
that contains those bloody characters
82.238.8.126 - - [24/May/2011:06:56:01 +0200] "GET
/cv/ESIEE_MANAGEMENT/Systeme_information/11_EM2_SI_JUIN_CV_AMICHIA_Anthony%20Aim%C3%A9e%20Marthe%20Moteh.docx
HTTP/1.1" 404 1337
The problem comes from the %C3%A9e character ( e eacute )
apache is unable to open that filename

Thanks that is working :-)
Now I have to test the application ( apache based application )
to see if it is able to open the file.
I'll tell in few hours when arrived to my office

Short answer, use a glob pattern. Assume I have a file named 'à
fichier.txt':
ls -l
-rw-r--r-- 1 Modulok Modulok 12 May 23 09:01 ?? fichier.txt
mv ?\ fichier.txt aFile.txt
Long answer, for those who want to follow along and fix their
terminal to
display UTF-8, keep reading...
Step 1: Make a funky file to play along with this min-tutorial:
===============================================================
Create a text file with an editor that supports non-ASCII characters. I
created a file named 'filename' which containing this (no newline!):
à fichier.txt
Step 2: Create the actual file with content
===========================================
I used echo and cat like so in the tcsh shell:
echo "hello world"> "`cat filename`"
Step 3: Show the file in ls
===========================
As you can see below, the first character of the filename is
displayed as two
question marks. This is the terminal's way of showing filenames that
it cannot
display correctly. There are two question marks, because this is a
two-byte
character. This does *not* mean the filename starts with a literal
question
mark:
-rw-r--r-- 1 Modulok Modulok 12 May 23 09:01 ?? fichier.txt
Step 4: (optional) Fix the terminal
===================================
At this point, let's just fix the terminal so that UTF-8 characters are
displayed correctly. We want to see the French accented 'à', and not
a bunch of
question marks. To do this, you edit '/etc/login.conf' as root. Add
two lines
at the bottom of the 'default' section. My default section now looks
like this:
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
...and so on...
:charset=en_US.UTF-8:\
:lang=en_US.UTF-8:
If you're a French operation yours should probably look like this
instead:
default:\
:passwd_format=md5:\
:copyright=/etc/COPYRIGHT:\
...and so on...
:charset=fr_FR.UTF-8:\
:lang=fr_FR.UTF-8:
I'm not certain on these for all countries, but the above examples
work. We
then need to rebuild the actual login database. Execute the following
command
as root:
cap_mkdb /etc/login.conf
This generates /etc/login.conf.db from /etc/login.conf. Now log out
and then
back in!
Step 5: Back to the funky file
==============================
You should now see the actual accent characters correctly in the
terminal.
(Assuming your terminal supports this):
-rw-r--r-- 1 Modulok Modulok 12 May 23 09:01 à fichier.txt
In some ternimals, we cannot type these characters. So you can access
the
filename through a shell glob pattern. In most shells, the glob
pattern '?'
matches any single character. The forward slash escapes the space in the
filename.
mv ?\ fichier.txt aFile.txt
Hope this helps (and doesn't get too mangled.)
