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

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 ? Thanks, Mark On 4 Feb 2007, at 18:23, Mark Schonewille wrote: Hi Mark, May I suggest that you translate a

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. Best, Mark -- Economy-x-Talk Consultancy and Software Engineering http://economy-x-talk.com http://www.salery.biz Get your store on-line within min

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,

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 Pl

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 u

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 getti

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
