Aye I can make a decision about the encoding. My guess is i could work with UTF-8 encoding for the file at first and see how that works, at first. I know there are a lot of entries that need to go into the gutindex-2009 file as well as the gutindex.all file. But I have a lot of time on my hands. I know the entries typically are divided by month, I can stick with the same format that's been used in prior gutindex-year files.

One thing you might want to do in that case, is make a clear decsion about the character encoding for that file.
The last time I asked, titles and author names were just being pasted into the gutindex files, regardless of what the encoding was, hoping that it would just all work out somehow. The result is a gutindex file which is mostly Latin-1, but with a few odd blips once in a while, for instance in Hungarian texts, where the wrong character can come out.

I'm perfectly willing to help update these files if the person who usually does the gutindex file updating doesn't have time to do it. I get all the latest postings of new books and it would be an easy thing to do to look through the posted-list archives to grab all the listings, and insert them into the gutindex file.
