The easy solution is to use a more current version. A harder
solution, certainly possible, would be to rewrite the code to support
older versions of REALbasic.

What version of REALbasic are you using?

But....
Nope, bitches like a wife in overdrive at <UINT32>. I don't see
this in the Learning Reference of vartypes I can use in a Soft
Declare. I tried to substitute with a simple Integer. Then I got
an undefined return type error in the soft declare. Is there a
vartype I can substitute to make this work?
Bloodied but not discouraged...

Thanks Charles,
Before I get down to business, thanks for the convert to B&W =20
formula you also posted. I have just been using BnW=3D(r+g+b)/
3, =20
which is a bit dark and the contrast is off. Cool!
Now to iTunes...
I was wondering how Apple handled this problem. Seems they had
to =20
figure out a way around this too.
So now I expose my ignorance... I'm not quite sure how to use
the =20
declares you provided. I assume I use the raw URL path straight
=20
from the iTunes list. I haven't a clue how to pass the two =20
parameters for <charactersToLeaveUnescaped> & =20
<legalURLCharactersToBeEscaped>. Do I have to further parse the
=20
file name for specific characters?
No. Note that the parameters come with default values; just use
=20
those (or pass "").
You need to replace the illegal characters with percent
codes. For
MacOS, you can use the following function.
The raw path already has escaped characters - a space is %20
and I =20
again assume this is a 'legal' character. I have a tract by
Bjork =20
(with an umlaut over the 'o') that causes an error. Unless I
had =20
this tract I would never know this was an issue. How can I use =20
these declares for any/all possible characters in a valid song =20
name? Am I missing something simple???
Yes. Try the function in a test app and see what happens to
Bj=F6rk. --
dim escapedURL as String =3D Escape("file://www.bj=F6rk.com").
Thanks again, you and others on this list have been most
helpful to =20=
a newcomer, it's nice to feel welcome here.

Ok, I seem to be hitting my head against every low hanging
object...
Song names/paths can have a broader scope of characters than
allowed in a URL. How do I now convert the paths correctly so I
don't get errors with these characters.
I guess I'm plowing over ground that is a well trodden path with
regards to this subject. Are there any other 'surprises' I can
look forward to?
You need to replace the illegal characters with percent
codes. For
MacOS, you can use the following function.
Function Escape(theURL as String, charactersToLeaveUnescaped as
String =3D "", legalURLCharactersToBeEscaped as String =3D "")
As =
String
if Encoding(theURL) is nil then
// parameter '" + theURL + "' does not have an encoding."
return theURL
end if
soft declare function
CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes lib
"Carbon.framework" (allocator as Integer, originalString as
CFStringRef, charactersToLeaveUnescaped as CFStringRef,
legalURLCharactersToBeEscaped as CFStringRef, encoding as
UInt32) as
CFStringRef
const kCFAllocatorDefault =3D 0
return CFURLCreateStringByAddingPercentEscapes
(kCFAllocatorDefault, theURL, charactersToLeaveUnescaped,
legalURLCharactersToBeEscaped, Encoding(theURL).Code)
End Function
And here is its inverse.
Function Unescape(theURL as String, charactersToLeaveEscaped as
String =3D "") As String
if Encoding(theURL) is nil then
// parameter '" + theURL + "' does not have an encoding."
return theURL
end if
theURL =3D ConvertEncoding(theURL, Encodings.UTF8)
soft declare function
CFURLCreateStringByReplacingPercentEscapes
lib "Carbon.framework" (allocator as Integer, originalString as
CFStringRef, charactersToLeaveEscaped as CFStringRef) as
CFStringRef
const kCFAllocatorDefault =3D 0
return CFURLCreateStringByReplacingPercentEscapes
(kCFAllocatorDefault, theURL, charactersToLeaveEscaped)
End Function
