I have a simple function which takes a directory string and returns a list
of files and directories which fit some other parameters. My problem is
that I can't find a function definition which accepts both ASCIIString and
UTF8String types. Previous to Julia 0.4 I just used String and everything
worked well but the new AbstractString does not work. What can I do?
subtypes(AbstractString)
- Base.SubstitutionString{T<:AbstractString}
- *DirectIndexString*
- LaTeXStrings.LaTeXString
- RepString
- RevString{T<:AbstractString}
- RopeString
- SubString{T<:AbstractString}
- UTF16String
- *UTF8String*
subtypes(DirectIndexString)
- *ASCIIString*
- UTF32String
I probably would have never run into this problem if
joinpath(ASCIIString,ASCIIString) didn't return UTF8String.
