Yes, what I need is not that complicated. As you said, I only want to be able to get any charset as input and to perform output in any other charset. But the most important is "the internal storage format". I know the answer is probably "unicode", but what c++ type is prefered for storing unicode strings. Are there any issues with 8 and 16 bit characters to deal with ? Is the storage format the same ? Can one use the standrad string types for this in a portable way ? This may be a very simple task, but I dont think it must be "standardized" and "coded" at least for arabic software development to not reinvent the wheel everytime somebody starts a new software project. regards, LA. > > Regards > -- > ------------------------------------------------------- > | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | > | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | > | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | > | Unix the 'right' way | http://elzubeir.fakkir.net/ | > ------------------------------------------------------- > > _______________________________________________ > General mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general _______________________________________________ General mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/general
