Subject: A problem with extended latin characters.
Hi,
I was wondering if people had experience parsing for extended latin
characters (Those characters not used in english particularly but in
other romance languages such as German i.e. � � � � � �). I am trying to
parse pages which use these characters so that for example '�' becomes
the html equivalent 'é'
However there seems to be a strange problem occuring, perhaps having to
do with a difference between how a Windows environment recognizes these
characters as compared to a unix environment.
Basically, the parser is not finding them. In theory, the int value for
example for a char � would be 233, which is probably what the parser is
looking for. However, there seems to be a different representation in
some cases. When I have my program output the text String that is to be
parsed the � is replaced by \351. The stranger thing is that when I get
the String directly from the database, the � remains as is and my
parsing program finds it without a problem. However, using JRun as the
servlet engine at some point for whatever reason the � becomes a \351.
I am wondering if this has something to do with a Windows vs. Unix
representation of this, since sometimes when I paste an � from a windows
document into a unix one (simply using telnet) it also shows up as
something like \351.
Does anyone know what might be going on here and how I might be able to
parse these characters?
Thanks,
Gabriel Zimmerman
