Re: [fpc-pascal] Reading and writing char
In our previous episode, Thomas Young said: For some reason I'm not able to read and write ascii characters above ascii 127 with FPC. Can someone explain this to me? This is very logical, since ASCII only defines +/- 127 chars. The upper 128 were used for vendor specific characters (aka codepages), which were later somewhat standarized in ISO norms. So the first step is what characters you actualy expect above 127. ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Re: [fpc-pascal] Reading and writing char
Thank you for the article. It was very helpful.
Why is it I can read and write a string that contains characters in the upper
128 but can't read write them as individual char?
Specifically I need to read the copyright (169), trademark (170) and
registration (168) characters. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

This is most probably due to the fact that your platform uses/requires a
multi-byte encoding of these characters nowadays (probably UTF-8) as
opposed to the platform / version you used those 'years ago' with
ThinkPascal. You need a different way for referring to the particular
characters than you used in the past, or you need to translate the
original meaning (based on a particular character set like Mac Roman you
may have used in the past).
Specifically I need to read the copyright (169), trademark (170) and
registration (168) characters. Any suggestions on how I can do this?
If you specifically need these, put those characters as constant strings
in your code and use those strings. Also, make sure to specify the
encoding used for your source code directly in the source code (using the
respective compiler directive or the UTF-8 marker) to avoid possible wrong
interpretation.

As far as I know, Git will only do the conversion when you clone a new repository, or when you pull new changes. If you had the setting wrong at the time you did the clone, the problem is on you. Simply change the setting, and get another clone (use --depth if you don't want a full clone again) Alternatively, you might be able to get away with only specifying the following command line option with you 'git diff' command. I use this if I made a cloned repository under Linux, but share that repository with a Windows VM session (thus not cloned from inside the VM). --ignore-space-at-eol 'git help diff' will give you more such options. -- Regards, - Graeme - ___ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Seems the SVN client is converting line endings to my native format. Thanks for the clear explanation. Don't be so quick to blame the tool, rather learn how to use the tool! Not really, I did suggest that smarter users than me might have a solution... ;) If you want Git to convert EOL characters to your native platform, then tell it to do so during the Git installation (which you clearly skipped or didn't understand the options), or specify it later as a global or per repository option (normally before a 'git clone' process). Thanks, that matches with what I found out. Here it show the option you somehow skipped to notice in the Git installation: http://opensoft.homeip.net:8080/~graemeg/msysgit-1.png Did see that, thought about it obviously picked the wrong one ;) To find out more about the core.autocrlf option look it the help: git help config then search for 'core.autocrlf' Yep, had seen that, but it wasn't too clear to a git newb like me though. Still, I've been finding out more - by trial and error ;) I had supposed that FPC stored its text files in CRLF format but obviously both the Git and SVN repositories contain LF data. I'll get back to the list when necessary. Thanks for the help. thanks, Reinier ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

Read this if have not yet : http://progit.org/book/ch7-1.html http://help.github.com/line-endings/ Alex the rest, seems I'm doing something wrong when using input: rem go to right directory: cd /d c:\development\fpc\ rem get rid of any gunk there: rmdir /s /q source rem set autocrlf to input for entire git system git config --global core.autocrlf input rem check setting - yes, input: git config --global core.autocrlf input mkdir c:\development\fpc\source cd /d c:\development\fpc\source git clone --depth 5 git://github.com/graemeg/freepascal.git . rem check situation here - yes, still input: git config core.autocrlf input rem now use notepad++ to open a file: npp packages\fcl-extra\src\win\ServiceManager.pas !!!notepad++ shows it has Unix line endings Could be that I'm misinterpreting the docs/sites, but isn't input supposed to convert the LFs in the repository to CRLFs? Tried again using core.autocrlf true, this does result in Windows line endings. Creating a patch using git diff --no-prefix gives Unix line endings - as expected, really. So while it could be used, I'd have to remember to run unix2dos over it - that is, if people expect a Windows patch ( Am I doing something stupid with autocrlf input?
