I have an encoding problem with Perl and Windows. On a Windows 7 running Perl (strawberry 5.16) and a simple TK GUI I need to open files and/or access directories with non-english characters in their name/path. For opening files I've come out with this solution which seems to work fine:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::Unicode::File;
use Encode;
use Tk;
my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
my $tissue_but = $mw->Button(
-text => 'Open file',
-command => [ \&select_unicode_file ],
);
$tissue_but->grid( -row => 3, -column => 1 );
Tk::MainLoop();
sub select_unicode_file{
my $types = [ ['Txt', '.txt'],
['All Files', '*'],];
my $input_file= $mw->getOpenFile(-filetypes => $types);
my $fh = Win32::Unicode::File->new;
if ($fh->open('<', $input_file)){
while (my $line = $fh->readline()){
print "\n$line\n";
}
close $fh;
}
else{
print "Couldn't open file: $!\n";
}
}
This correctly opens files such as Поиск/Поиск.txt
What I CANNOT do is to simply get a directory path and than process it. I think I should use use Win32::Unicode::Dir but I really can't understand the documentation.
It should be something like this:
#!/usr/bin/perl -w
use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::Unicode::Dir;
use Encode;
use Tk;
my $mw = Tk::MainWindow->new;
my $tissue_but = $mw->Button(
-text => 'Open file',
-command => [ \&select_unicode_directory ],
);
$tissue_but->grid( -row => 3, -column => 1 );
Tk::MainLoop();
sub select_unicode_directory{
my $dir = $mw->chooseDirectory( );
my $wdir = Win32::Unicode::Dir->new;
my $dir = $wdir->open($dir) || die $wdir->error;
my $dir_complete = "$dir/a.txt";
open (MYFILE, $dir_complete );
while (<MYFILE>) {
chomp;
print "$_\n";
}
close (MYFILE);
}
