When you cat a Binary file sometimes the shell gets all scrambled and nothing can be read. And the new input you write down gets messed up aswell. So the charset has changed. Well, I tryed to fix this with some Exports back to UTf-8 but it didnt same goes for restarting the shell or anything like that. Well, I always did reboot.. But now I cant.. So, well is there a Way to FIX it instead of working around it? Thanks Cheers, Robin __________________ My webpage: codeinject.org New Users, please read this.. Google first, then ask..
