Hi All, In a similar problem to Davids (below), we are doing a test to an SMPP SMSC and they are sending back message text encoded as 7 bit packed GSM alphabet.
Even though the SMPP driver calls: charset_gsm_to_latin1(msg->sms.msgdata); this does not convert 7 bit packed GSM data to latin 1, it only converts 8 bit packed GSM data. Should this function unpack 7 bit data or is it presumed that will always only get 8 bit GSM encoded characters? Comments welcome, Michael. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > David Tully > Sent: 09 July 2003 14:50 > To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: Character set > > > Hi > > I'm struggling to get this connection fully working - it's > the one with the > non-standard message_id that I was mailing about last week. > > I'm told it's GSM-7.. > > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: data_coding: 0 = 0x00000000 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: sm_default_msg_id: 0 = 0x00000000 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: sm_length: 4 = 0x00000004 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: short_message: > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: Octet string at 0x80d1f78: > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: len: 4 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: size: 5 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: immutable: 0 > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: data: d4 f2 9c 0e > .... > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: Octet string dump ends. > 2003-07-09 12:46:39 [6] DEBUG: SMPP PDU dump ends. > > > I had a look at the kannel source and I saw it converts from > gsm-7 to latin > by default if no alt_charset is set. > I'm just getting rubbish with this though.. > > The message is 'Test' and is 7-bit packed: > > D4 1 1010100 = T > F2 11 110010 = e > 9C 100 11100 = s > 0E 0000 1110 = t > > > How do I convert it? > > Regards, > > David. > > >
