Unicode Question
Hi, all. I'm finally updating my id3 tag library (it will write as well as read), and I want to handle unicode issues correctly. My question is : when using any library that is going to give you back some text as the result of a function, how is it best to indicate whether it is unicode or not, so that you can then just put it into fld x if it's not unicode, or set the unicodeText of fld x if it is. Bearing in mind that the text might be anything, might have commas, returns or other delimiters, would it be best to return an array: tText[text] - the text, tText[encoding] - iso | utf16 | utf8 or is there a better way? Any thoughts gratefully recieved. best, Mark ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Unicode Question
I hope I got your question right - it is more abot an interface style to a library than auto-detecting whether which format the data is in? If so - arrays are a good bet, but in my opinion the most user friendly approach is to create a model which deals with the functions and commands for getting and setting the ID3 data from the file, and then a set of simpler getprop and setprop interfaces that users would use with a Rev based control. In your case it would look something like: -- Model - function id3_GetArray someFile ... end id3_GetArray someFile on id3_SetArray someFile, id3Array ... end id3_SetArray someFile -- Interface - getprop id3_UnicodeText put the filename of the target into someFile put id3_GetArray(someFile) into id3Array return id3Array [unicode] end id3_UnicodeText And so forth for the various elements of the model you want to expose in a friendly way to the user. They can then just set the filename of the player to a mp3 file and use: put the id3_UnicodeText of player 1 If there are too many interfaces you can use the array type sytax: put the id3_Data [unicode] of player 1 With and getprop handler like: getprop id3_Data [someKey] put the filename of the target into someFile put id3_GetArray(someFile) into id3Array return id3Array [someKey] end id3_Data ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Unicode Question
David, thanks for the reply - it's actually both questions. I like the style of interface using set/getprops, and will probably do exactly what you suggest. However, the unicode problem is that in an ID3 tag, text information (that the library will extract from the tag) may be encoded as unicode or not, and it isn't necessarily consistent within a tag ie. some strings are, some aren't. So I need to figure out how best to let the user of the library know what kind of string is being delivered.

Re: Unicode Question
I am not really sure - can you put it into a field and if it differs from the original text value assume it is unicode, or maybe regEx looking for some chars outside of the ascii range? ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Re: Unicode Question
That's the point - I don't want the user to have to guess. The library 'knows', because the encoding information is in the id3 tag it's just read, what I'm wondering about is simplest wasy to let the user of the library know. So if the 'client' app asks the library for the title of a file, the library needs to let the client know that it's Abbey Road, as unicode or plain text, depending on how the original tag was encoded, so the client can display it properly. I guess what I'm asking is what most developers would prefer to be returned when using the library.

Re: Unicode Question
Hi Mark, May I suggest that you translate all strings into and deliver all strings as ut8? This would avoid any confusion on the user's side.

Re: Unicode Question
Mark, this seems like a good idea. Would I be right in thinking that to translate a string from UTF16 to UTF8 I would do this: put unidecode(someUTF16String,UTF8) into tUTF8String ?

Re: Unicode Question
Well inside Rev - I think that most users would like to use the htmlText. From my point of view i would like to be able to do the following: set the text of fld Title to the id3_Title of player 1 set the htmltext of fld Title to the id3_Title [htmlText] of player 1 -- (could have id3_HtmlTitle as well) set the unicodeText of fld Title to the id3_Title [unicode] of player 1 And query the player like: put the id3_TextFormats of player 1 into availableFormats put the id3_TitleArray of player 1 into titleArray if unicode is among the items of availableFormats then set the unicodeText of fld 1 to titleArray [unicode] But in general i don't see why you would need to do anything other than one of the first three (I'd use the . The library would just give you the format if it were available and if not give you the text which would work fine. The library would just need to uniencode the plain text - ie set the unicodetext of fld 1 to uniencode(Test) works fine. ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
Unicode question
Hello, I was wondering if once the unicodetext of a fields content has been set if that field will then Keep that characteristic always. Or do I then always have to use the set the unicodetext of when I am putting text into fields? Is this the same for variables as well? set the unicodetext of field one to the unicodetext of field two Later if I set the contents of field one to and then add some other text will it still test unicodetext positive. I tried the docs for the unicode test but it didn't work for me.
