( [id://3333]=superdoc: print w/replies, xml ) Need Help??
Perhaps I spoke too soon.. I thought if I fixed printing to the console then it would then be passed correctly to ImageMagick for processing...
use utf8; use Encode 'encode'; my $str = "convert -size 100x25 -background white -fill black -pointsi +ze 25 label:ÄÖÜß ÄÖÜß.gif\n"; print encode cp850 => $str; system encode cp850 => $str;
The console (now) correctly outputs the string I want to the console...
convert -size 100x25 -background white -fill black -pointsize 25 label +:ÄÖÜß ÄÖÜß.gif

(This command simply creates a new image file called ÄÖÜß.gif with the text ÄÖÜß written as text in the image)
... however the file it create is named wrong and the content is wrong (both Ž™šá). If I type that command exactly on the command line it works. I can only assume that I'm getting the encoding confused as it passes from perl through the shell into ImageMagick?

I tried open a file handle with the mode set to "|-" to write directly to ImageMagick skipping the shell, but no dice. If you could impart some more wisdom, it would be appreciated.

  • Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
  • Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  • Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
