Hi, I guess the following question has already been answerd somewher but I couldn't find it on the archive. A search feature for the archive would be great. After reading 20-30 mails I started to get tired of it. Has anyone seen a a mail-archive crawler which can do a search. (That sound almost like a fun script to write)
More seriously. I am using 5.6.3 on windows from activestate. I do the following. >>>>>> my $ole_object = ..... ; my $unicode_string = $ole_object->GetUnicodeString() ; print length($unicode_string), "\n" ; # prints 17, which is the length of the unicode string use byte () ; print byte::length($unicode_string), "\n" ; # prints 17, wow, the string is japanese I expect 34 print $unicode_string ; # prints ??????????????? on the console print FILE $unicode_string ; # prints ??????????????? in the file <<<<<< What the script is to do is: 1/ get a unicode string from an Ole object 2/ read a unicode string from a file 3/ compare both strings and act upon the comparison if the string I get from ole _is_ unicode (and it seems so) how can I flatten it to binary? I tried with unpack without success. Nadim.
