A search of the LiveCode dictionary for encode reveals the uniEncode function.
This might be what you are looking for.
BTW (and please nobody hate me for saying so) (and this is not directed at the
poster or anyone in particular) a LOT of enquiries on this list I find the
answers for by doing simple finds in the LiveCode dictionary, or for other
issues google searches. We should all make it a principle we code by that we
try to find the solutions ourselves before posting.
You make a good point Bob... I do tend to go begging here. My problem is
that I don't know enough about some things to even know what to search for.
I never thought of a curly quote as a unicode character I always think
of it as an ANSI... And Spanish fits into ISO 8859-1 as does the curly
quote: these are single byte characters; so why do we need uniEncode?
But, you are right I should to ask these questions in the PostGreSQL
forums and not here.
Probably I should ( and usually do) use my Experts' Exchange account for
this type of thing, but sometimes I think that these threads end up
helping other LiveCoders. and If we do it outside this list then it is
not seen.
I know I get a lot out of responses to "dumb questions" by newbies, even
though I did not post them....
That being said, I learn a lot myself by looking up these things for other
people.:-)
Bob
