output encoding using ruby in eclipse

[adad]

Hi,
I am trying to output an xml tag into a text file.

the xml file contains characters like the £ sign.

Is there any way to set the output encoding in eclipse to render this correctly?

thanks.

For any one who is interested.

In Eclipse,
open debug dialog.
click on the common tab.
select the console encoding as utf-8
seems to work for £.
:)
