Yes, that was what I meant by proposing a utf8 specific UTF8MatchText(), which should not convert everything to wide char, but instead do byte-by-byte comparison and just be aware of UTF encoding, where it is easy to know how wide (how maby bytes/octets) each encoded character takes. -- ---------------- Hannu Krosing Database Architect Skype Technologies OÜ Akadeemia tee 21 F, Tallinn, 12618, Estonia Skype me: callto:hkrosing Get Skype for free: http://www.skype.com ---------------------------(end of broadcast)--------------------------- TIP 1: if posting/reading through Usenet, please send an appropriate subscribe-nomail command to [EMAIL PROTECTED] so that your message can get through to the mailing list cleanly
