Hi List, I've created an alpha version of "Unicode-Class", a simple but efficient parent script for handling Unicode text with lingo. It's still quite rough, and not optimized for speed yet.
It can be used to - convert single-byte text encoded with any given codepage to Unicode or UTF-8 text - convert Unicode or UTF-8 text to single-byte text with given codepage - convert single-byte text from one codepage to another (like e.g. Win ANSI to Mac Roman) - convert single-byte text encoded with any given codepage to Unicode HTML (non-asci-chars escaped as &#xxxx;) that can be passed to a flash sprite or an embedded browser: This way lingo can handle and pass Unicode strings, no JavaScript needed) The included demo (dir and projector) demonstrates usage for conversion from KOI8 (cyrillic) to Unicode/UTF-8 and v.v. There are also arround 100 codepage-map-files included Bug reports welcome. There isn't much platform-specific in the script, but I havn't tested it on the mac yet.
