Vault CLI Client / Eclipse/Aptana and Windows character enco

[GavinScott]

We have files in vault that were checked in from Windows and which contain things like MS Word smart-quotes in Word generated HTML.

When we check these files out on Linux using either The Eclipse/Aptana plugin or the CLI client, these characters get silently stripped from the resulting file.

Apart from marking the files in the repository as binary, is there anything we can do to not lose these characters when getting files?

Thanks!

Smart quotes are not UTF-8 compliant, and because of that, the framework we use will strip that out. If you can switch Word to use ANSI, that might work. If you switch it to binary, then your EOL won't change.

Another thing you could try is to use “ and ” for representing your quotes.
