hebrew encoding
I am having encoding nightmare. I try to understand the way the
encoding work with no success:
I have a simple test script:
encoding system iso8859-8
set a " "
puts $a
in the braces it is shalom in hebrew but you probably need the font.
the all episode is on a linux machine.
anyway I do:
tclsh test.tcl
and I get:
????
so I do
tclsh
%source test.tcl
and I get:
strange?!%?
why is it difference? one is incorrect and the other correct.
I change the script encoding:
encoding system iso8859-15
set a " "
puts $a
and both way works ok.
even stranger? iso8859-15 is not hebrew encoding and it works better.
why?
please save me, I have these encoding staff.

does not change the script encoding, but the encoding assumed as
default for interaction with the OS. Its usually correctly set.
Scripts are always assumed to be in iso8859-1 IIRC, (the message
catalogue files of the msgcat packages are utf-8 by default).
In Tcl 8.5 you can start tclsh with -e to specify a script encoding.

Before 8.5, you can of course do:
set f [open $myScript]
fconfigure $f -encoding $myEncoding
eval [read $f]
close $f

be in [encoding system] since that's almost always right. The only way I
can think of to get yahalom's behaviour is if he has a .tclshrc that
sets [encoding system], a highly _anti_-recommended trick. Instead, he
should be able to just tell Tcl what his language is (via the LANG
environment variable, a standard Unix feature) and have Tcl work out for
itself how to encode it.
If he wants to debug this further to check that things aren't going
wrong completely, he should add the following to the *start* of his test
script, before the (probably erroneous) call to [encoding system]:
puts "LANG=$::env(LANG)\tSysEnc=[encoding system]"
Now, in a correct installation, the same message ought to be produced by
that line whether run interactively or as a script. (The values ought to
be sensible according to the user's settings too!) If they're not,
that's what we need to fix.

puts "LANG=$::env(LANG)\tSysEnc=[encoding system]" before the script,
it works fine with 'tclsh test.tcl'. when remvoed again the ????
appear. it seems like tcl is changing the encoding because of the puts
statement (or because of the checking of environemnt variables).
should this be reported as a bug?
the problem arose because we use tclcompiler to obscure the code. the
problem is that the scripts are compiled using the system encoding on
the system they are compiled on. this encoding does not always match
the system encoding of the runtime environment. this is why we used
encoding system to force encoding of the compiling environment. if
this is incorrect the what will be the best approach for such a case?

Override source and use a trivial start script to source your locale
dependent stuff in a controlled manner like Richard has shown you, or
put your hebrew messages in a message catalogue and use msgcat::mc.
