Wrong output of quotes in Windows (encoding?)
Hi,
A short while ago I had minor difficulties escaping quotes, and noticed
(I don't remember where) a simple function by a D user which I have now
tried to enhance. The problem is that output is incorrect in Windows
(even with unicode-supporting fonts). I tried to use transcode but could
not get it to work.
Check the following code, and please advise me what to do in order to
get the correct output:
import std.stdio, std.string, std.encoding;
@trusted string quote(in string str, in char chr = 'd') pure {
switch(chr) {
case 'b': return '`' ~ str ~ '`'; // backtick
case 'd': return `` ~ str ~ ``; // double
case 'f': return `«` ~ str ~ `»`; // french
case 's': return `'` ~ str ~ `'`; // single
case 't': return `“` ~ str ~ `”`; // typographic
default: return `` ~ str ~ ``; // double
}
}
void main() {
char[] a = ['b', 'd', 'f', 's', 't'];
auto input = just a test;
foreach(char type; a)
writeln(format(Quote type %s:\t%s, type, quote(input, type)));
}

Is the code page also set to UTF-8? I think you must issue the command
'chcp 65001'.
I have changed your program to print the code units individually in hex.
I changed the test string to a single space character so that you can
identify it easily on the output:
import std.stdio, std.string, std.encoding;
@trusted string quote(in string str, in char chr = 'd') pure {
switch(chr) {
case 'b': return '`' ~ str ~ '`'; // backtick
case 'd': return `` ~ str ~ ``; // double
case 'f': return `«` ~ str ~ `»`; // french
case 's': return `'` ~ str ~ `'`; // single
case 't': return `“` ~ str ~ `”`; // typographic
default: return `` ~ str ~ ``; // double
}
}
void main() {
char[] a = ['b', 'd', 'f', 's', 't'];
auto input = ;
foreach(char type; a)
writeln(format(Quote type %s:\t%(%02x %), type,
cast(ubyte[])quote(input, type)));
}
Does the output of the program look correct according to UTF-8? Then
your compiler has produced a correct program. :) Here is the output I
get on SL6.1 compiled with dmd v2.065-devel-41ebb59:
Quote type b: 60 20 60
Quote type d: 22 20 22
Quote type f: c2 ab 20 c2 bb
Quote type s: 27 20 27
Quote type t: e2 80 9c 20 e2 80 9d
I trust the correctness of this feature of D so much that I am too lazy
to check whether those code units correspond to the intended Unicode
characters. :)

Changing the codepage worked indeed. Thanks.
Now, how could I do that programmatically, so that if my application
runs on a system with a different codepage, the output looks correct?
After all, not all users feel comfortable typing unknown commands.
