Using german umlauts the same happens, the string is empty. When
feeding
in plain ascii the output is okay, the string is actually filled.
On which platform with which locale/codepage? If on *nix, are you
using the cwstring unit?
I'm using FreeBSD with ISO8859-1 or 15 and do not use cwstring
explicitly.
But I think my error was to assume the strings given by objects
from the
dom-unit are un-decoded UTF8. Now I think (haven't checked yet) that
decoding to the german system locale (ISO8859-1 or 15) is done
already.
Ansistrings indeed always use the system locale.
If I leave out the decoding completly it works - besides the missing
euro sign, but that has very low prority. Umlauts and 'ß' are okay.
ISO 8859-1 does not have a euro sign. ISO 8859-15 should have it though.
