Fwd: bug in switch.rb

[Akira Kakuto]

Hi Hans,

> /usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501:

You added two lines in the latest swith.rb:
#encoding: ASCII-8BIT

# module    : base/switch
... ...

There may be no errors if the new switch.rb is used.

Best,
Akira

Fwd: bug in switch.rb

[Hans Hagen]

Hi List,

As my macbook is too old to update (according to apple) and will not be 
upgraded soon (if at all) I cannot test the attached issue. So it's up 
to others.

(My ipad is also too old so it seems I'm stuck with less and less 
useable apple hardware even if it's not yet broken down.)

Hans

Since upgrading to Mac OS X.9 I haven't been able to use ConTeXt/XeTex:
on even a minimal file I get the message

/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in 

'require':
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/base/switch.rb:501:
invalid multibyte escape: /\xFF/ (SyntaxError) from
/System/Library/Frameworks/Ruby.framework/Versions/2.0/usr/lib/ruby/2.0.0/rubygems/core_ext/kernel_require.rb:45:in 

'require' from
/usr/local/texlive/2013/texmf-dist/scripts/context/ruby/texexec.rb:11:in `'

which refers to this method

      def cleanvalue(value)
          if value then
              # value.sub(/^([\"\'])(.*?)\1$/) { $2.gsub(/\xFF/o, ' ') }
              value.gsub(/\xFF/o, ' ')
          else
              ''
          end
      end
