Hi all, I've written a little application that does some text manipulation and writes the output to a file (html, csv, docx, xml) and this all appears to work fine on Mac OS X. On windows however I seem to get character encoding problems and a lot of '"' seems to disappear and be replaced with some weird stuff. Usually the closing '"' o...
I have a function that can decode an array of bytes into a string of characters using a specified encoding. Example: Function Decode(ByVal bytes() As Byte, ByVal codePage As String) As String Dim enc As Text.Encoding = Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(codePage) Return enc.GetString(bytes) End Function If I want to include base64 in ...
I'm using Zend Studio for Eclipise on Mac, and it seems to keep setting all files to have and encoding of 'Mac Roman'. This becomes problematic when I save the files, as they all need to be UTF-8. I know how to change the encoding to UTF-8 on a file by file basis, but I was wondering if I could set this project wide? ...
Hi, I'm building a website that fetches text from another page and insert it into the database. The problem is that all the special characters are saved in the database using the HTML encoding so then I need to convert the output using: <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" /> I mean, what I have rig...

I'm looking for a way to detect character sets within documents. I've been reading the Mozilla character set detection implementation here: Universal Charset Detection I've also found a Java implementation of this called jCharDet: JCharDet Both of these are based on research carried out using a set of static data. What I'm wonderin...
Hi, I need to convert a CSV file from iso to UTF-8 to keep the accents in the database. French accents (é,è,ê, and the like) are not kept when I try to translate them to UTF-8, they are changed to "?". I'm stumped. I use the following function for the translation: public static string iso8859ToUnicode(string src) { Encoding...
I'm tracking a Virtual PC virtual machine file (*.vmc) in git, and after making a change git identified the file as binary and wouldn't diff it for me. I discovered that the file was encoded in UTF-16. Can git be taught to recognize that this file is text and handle it appropriately? I'm using git under Cygwin, with core.autocrlf set ...
I have tested in IE6, Firefox 3.0.5 and Chrome and they all work. In IE7 it displays as boxes. For example: <select name="selectact" id="selectact"> <option value="page" selected="selected">网 页</option> <option value="news">新 闻</option> <option value="trade">行 业</option> <option value="area">区 域</option> <option value="web">网 站</op...
How do I find out the SAS global encoding option programmatically? I can run proc options, and it will give me the answer, but I need to do it from code. I am hoping for an answer on the lines of "look at the macro symbol &sysencoding", but this might be too much to hope for. I would prefer to avoid fragile things like writing to an ext...

Users are pasting text from Lotus Notes into my VBA application. This is then being stored in Access. Sometimes the pasted text includes what I assume is a carriage return which, when pasted into a single line form control, is displayed in the application's forms as ¶. However, as this won't paste in to the VBE, I am unable to add thi...
Hello all, I intend to create asp.net pages using Visual Studio 2008. Preferably, the pages should be fully compliant with XHTML standard. How should I include the diacritics into the page content (no need to use diacritics in URLs)? Should I use character references (the ones with "&"), or just writing them directly form the keyboard? ...
Is there any formal restriction as to which characters are allowed in URL parameter names? I've been reading RFC3986 ("Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax") but came to no definitive conclusion. I know there are practical limitations, but would it actually be forbidden to do something like: param with\funny<chars>=some_v...

I need to convert large UTF-8 strings into ASCII. It should be reversible, and ideally a quick/lightweight algorithm. How can I do this? I need the source code (using loops) or the JavaScript code. (should not be dependent on any platform/framework/library) Edit: I understand that the ASCII representation will not look correct and wou...

My program is fetching messages from a database, which contains English, German and several Eastern European languages. My Python script sets the encoding via: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"/> and use the values fetched correctly from the database (if I check within my logs). Unfortunately all br...
