hi!
i was playing aroung with the StrCompare() function the other
day and i noticed something *strange* about its behavior :>
Int result = StrCompare("Language", "L�nguage");
notice that the second word is "L�nguage" (not a real word,
but good enough for comparision) :>> which contains an accented
character "�".
when executing.. the result is NEGATIVE, when in fact it should
be POSITIVE! :> i looked at the OS 3.0 source code and noticed
that it is fine, however - i had to rewrite the function to
compare the "unsigned char" value of the character being used
in the string.
"�" has an ASCII value greater than 127, and hence has a -ve value
when being compared within these types of routines. everything of
course works fine for normal ASCII characters (non accented)
has this been fixed in later versions of the OS?
az.
