Illegal byte sequence error

[dan90210]

Just downloaded your file. Getting this error

$ gtypist p.typ
gtypist: line 819: iconv() failed on 'B:Lesson P11 — final lesson': Illegal byte sequence
You should probably use a UTF-8 locale for the selected lesson!

running on Mac with latest gtypist

This should fix it:

export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

I added those to lines to my zshrc and I still get the same error. I can confirm that those are the locales that I am running

➜ locale
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"

Any idea what is going on?

Nope =( That worked for me.

Until someone figures it out, you can always edit the lesson file. Change the — to a - on line 819.
