I'm writing a Telnet client of sorts in C# and part of what I have to parse are ANSI/VT100 escape sequences, specifically, just those used for colour and formatting (detailed here). One method I have is one to find all the codes and remove them, so I can render the text without any formatting if needed: public static string StripS...
I have an ANSI encoded text file that should not have been encoded as ANSI as there were accented characters that ANSI does not support. I would rather work with UTF-8. Can the data be decoded correctly or is it lost in transcoding? What tools could I use? Here is a sample of what I have: ç é I can tell from context (café should...
I need to convert (&rarr) to a symbol I can type into a ANSI VBScript file. I am writing a script that translates a select set of htmlcodes to their actual double byte symbols using a regex. Many languages accomplish this using "\0x8594;"... what is the equivelent in VBScript? ...
I've read the documentation here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms776420(VS.85).aspx I'm stuck on this parameter: lpMultiByteStr [out] Pointer to a buffer that receives the converted string. I'm not quite sure how to properly initialize the variable and feed it into the function ...
I'm trying to export a Crystal Report to a text file, while preserving any Unicode characters that are found within. By default, Crystal Reports seems to export to an ANSI text file. Here is a highly simplified version of what I'm doing: Dim objCRReport As CRAXDRT.Report [...] objCRReport.ExportOptions.FormatType = 8 'crEFTText objCRRe...
I have a Ruby script that generates a UTF8 CSV file remotely in a Linux machine and then transfers the file to a Windows machine thru SFTP. I then need to open this file with Excel, but Excel doesn't get UTF8, so I always need to open the file in a text editor that has the capability to convert UTF8 to ANSI. I would love to do this pr...
I'm thinking of forming a Hackers Club at work. My idea is that we would meet monthly and at each meeting one member would present an interesting hack he had created. (The hacks presented wouldn't necessarily have to be software hacks; they could also be the sort of things you read about in MAKE magazine.) There would also be ANSI sta...
I am translating SQL Server SQL Statements into their ANSI generic equivalent at present, and am stuck with a recursive statement using a WITH statement. For the sake of concentrating on the issue, I'll simplify the issue as follows If I have two tables ReportingUnit col1: Key col2: ParentReportingUnitKey Facility col1: Key col2...
I have an existing ASP.NET 2.0 website, stored in Team Foundation Server 2005. Some of the pages/controls are encoded as ANSI (according to Notepad++) and the Content-Type header is set to: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"/> I would like to change all pages to UTF-8, and therefore the Content-T...

I don't mean "Basic SQL", but strongly the specs and the difference between the specs and the implementations between great databases (like SQL Server, Oracle, etc). ...
Perl has the excellent module Term::ANSIScreen for doing all sorts of fancy cursor movement and terminal color control. I'd like to reimplement a program that's currently in Perl in Python instead, but the terminal ANSI colors are key to its function. Is anyone aware of an equivalent? ...
I'm using the Delphi function StringCodePage I call it on a string returned by a COM function (Acrobat Annotation getContents - see my other posts) and it returns 0. What is 0? Ansi? Thanks ...
So far I've discovered I can convert incoming BSTRs to ANSI in two (of many?) ways, and I'm curious to know whether one is "better" than the other with respect to speed / efficiency etc. The way I've been using for a while is use the USES_CONVERSION and W2A macros, e.g. BSTR __stdcall F(BSTR p1, BSTR p2 ) { USES_CONVERSION; LP...
Hi. I was getting advice from Rob Kennedy and one of his suggestions that greatly increased the speed of an app I was working on was to use SetString and then load it into the VCL component that displayed it. I'm using Delphi 2009 so now that PChar is Unicode, SetString(OutputString, PChar(Output), OutputLength.Value); edtString.Text :...

If I were designing a oil refinery, I wouldn't expect that materials from different vendors would not comply with published standards in subtle yet important ways. Pipework, valves and other components from one supplier would come with flanges and wall thicknesses to ANSI standards, as would the same parts from any other supplier. Inte...
