Changes the encoding of +self+ to +encoding+,
|
|
which may be a string encoding name or an Encoding object;
|
|
returns self:
|
|
|
|
s = 'łał'
|
|
s.bytes # => [197, 130, 97, 197, 130]
|
|
s.encoding # => #<Encoding:UTF-8>
|
|
s.force_encoding('ascii') # => "\xC5\x82a\xC5\x82"
|
|
s.encoding # => #<Encoding:US-ASCII>
|
|
|
|
Does not change the underlying bytes:
|
|
|
|
s.bytes # => [197, 130, 97, 197, 130]
|
|
|
|
Makes the change even if the given +encoding+ is invalid
|
|
for +self+ (as is the change above):
|
|
|
|
s.valid_encoding? # => false
|
|
s.force_encoding(Encoding::UTF_8) # => "łał"
|
|
s.valid_encoding? # => true
|
