Hey Brett,

Long time no talk! :) This tool comes at the perfect time for me, but I'm having some trouble with it. I created a UTF-8 input file, and when piping it into the script, I get:

Creating C:/Users/ezuk/test/ג^cג-ג"?ג^cג-ג"?Files
planter.rb:93:in `exists?': "&#092x90" to UTF-8 in conversion from Windows-1255 to UTF-8 (Encoding::UndefinedConversionError)

The UTF-8 file contains only regular English alphanumeric chars (i.e, no accents, no Hebrew etc.).

Any idea what might be wrong?

Thanks again for this!

Okay, solved it! Saved input as ANSI. (For some reason I assumed it should be UTF-8.)

That bug usually pops up with ruby 1.9+, do you have that installed?

Yup, 1.9.3. I use pik though, so can easily install older versions as needed. That said, just feeding Planter with ANSI is a better solution for me (I need it very rarely).
