Re: Rev fails to recognize Chinese

I think you will have to import the text from each field in your HC
stack to the new Rev stack
set the unicodetext of fld "revfld" to uniencode(HCfld,"Chinese")
This will have to be different for the simplified - ("simplechinese)
and traditional - ("chinese")

Re: Rev fails to recognize Chinese
My gratitude for all contributions dealing with the problem I mentioned. Tom hinted to "pasting differences with plain english text files". Well, the text I pasted was copied from a Nisus file which is basically a text file, as far as I understand. I checked with English text copied from Nisus and Rev has no difficulty in finding things therein. Andre suggested "reading from file". Unfortunately, the text thus read still cannot be searched. Ron wondered whether I had set the text of the fld to unicode and/or set the textfont of the field before pasting. Regarding the font, I did specify it by way of object inspector > text formatting. However, I had failed to pay attention to explicitly stating "Chinese" and tried now to remedy the situation. The result is quite unexpected: I created two fields, "oldText" with "Apple LiSung Light" and "newText" with "Apple LiSung Light,Chinese". Chinese text pasted from Nisus into "oldText" displays properly. But when I executed put fld "oldText" into fld "newText" via the message box, the transferred text displayed as *Korean* garbage! How the specification "Chinese" leads to this mixup is beyond me. (Out of curiosity I tested this command with text directly typed into field "oldText". It displays properly in field "newText" and both fields are searchable. Very nice, but doesn't solve my problem.) So finally the suggestion to take care of uniEncode. Dealing with the just described test scenario, the command put uniEncode(fld "oldText","Chinese") into fld "newText" works wonders! The Chinese is not only retained but can also be searched. In principle, this marvelous trick seems to solve my problem and once more I would like to thank everyone who shared his suggestions. The thing is that a new problem raises its head -the original text contains one actually quite common character (yang3, "to rear") which not only disappears in fld "newText" but leads to a line break.

Re: Rev fails to recognize Chinese
Hi Fritz How are you pasting the Chinese? Do you set the text of the fld to unicode? Do you set the textfont of the field before pasting? uniencode(field "chinesetext",chinese) into fld "chinesefld" set the textfont of fld "chinesefld" to "Hei,chinese" Ron On Jan 27, 2004, at 7:36 PM, Friedrich F.

Re: Rev fails to recognize Chinese
I ain't no guru!!! but have you tried reading from file instead of pasting... I know you want to paste but as they say, if the door is locked, break the window (well it sounded like that). If you just want to have your text on a field, you can copy from HC, paste to SimpleText, save and read, right? I know this is a lousy solution, but until a revGuru point you in the right direction, this might help.
