: However, I don't think that the names are consistent enough to permit a : generic use of regular expressions. What Daniel is trying to achieve : looks interesting anyway,
I'm not sure that that really matters in the long run ... I think the OP was asking if there was a way to get the name in java because he figured that way he could programaticly determine what the "base" character was in his application. But, that doesn't mean he needs to do this progromatically every time his indexing/searching code sees a character outside of LATIN-1 it would probably make more sense to write a little one off program that could read in this file, and then spit out all of the non latin-1 characters with a guess as to which latin-1 character could act as a substitution (if any) based on the name of the chracter, and a blank for the user to override. This program could be run once to generate a nice small, efficient mapping table that could be (commited to cvs and) reused over and over. -Hoss --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
