Hi,
An encoding question, again.
I'm trying this simple code:
dim t as textOutputStream
t=MyFile.CreateTextFile
if t=nil then
MsgBox "Can't save the file: error "+str(f.LastErrorCode)+"."
Return True
end if
t.Write EFMyText.Text
t.Close
The text is supposed to have high-ascii characters because of my
current language.
Then, I open the file using TextEdit. The file does not have the
correct encoding (well, it can be expected).
So I change
t.write EFMyText.Text
to
t.Write ConvertEncoding(EFMyText.Text,Encodings.UTF8)
(the magically used UTF8)
but the problem remains.
Is it possible to write to a text file (no rtf data) so that it
"knows" the wanted encoding?
(I guess it should, otherwise, what a problem around the world!)
I guess I can tell TextEdit to use a specific encoding when I open
the file, but I doubt it's the correct way (I would prefer to have
saved the file correctly rather than repairing when the file is open
later, with any application).
Any comment welcome.

Hi Gerrit,
I remember somebody had the same question on this list maybe two
years ago, but I haven't heard or read anything ever since that would
make me think there's ever been a (third party) solution for it.
There's something called OpenLDAP (http://www.openldap.org/) that
could perhaps be rolled into an RB plugin, if the license allows it.
Cheers,
Marc
I searched the internet and these forums but can't realy find something
useful.
Can anyone tell me (some kind of tutorial, or code snippet) how LDAP works
in realbasic or how to get started ?
Thnx in advance

With the release of Metropolis 2k6r1 for Windows mere weeks away
now, I wonder: are there compelling reasons to upgrade from RB2005
to RB2006?
I've been so focused on my own work that I missed all the
discussions that no doubt have taken place. Rather than having to
wade through the countless posts from 'back then', could someone
sum up the benefits of upgrading before starting/continuing my next
project?
One of the big ones for me is that 2006r2 now uses the correct System
font on Windows builds. It's a small thing, but it makes a big
difference in helping your app to appear platform-correct.

How is this done? Do you set the existing listingObject to nil? Or
keep it and assign the data from the updated one into the existing one?

Joe,
Thanks for the answer to question one.
"(I'm assuming that you have gone through the tutorials that come with RB,
and mastered the basics of reading and writing files, designing windows and
menus, etc.)" Now as for reading the LR, umm well kinda-sorta read it. I
mostly read it when I need to, so I did read about the MD5, but not to the
point as doing anything without a little help. I learn best by having
someone show me a simple code then letting me work on it and playing with it
to understand HOW and WHY it works.
"Using TextInputStream as usual. Remember that you can't undo this MD5
hash; you just read it in, and then compare it to the MD5 of whatever the
user enters for a password to see if it matches." Ok here is where a little
simple code will help me out most.
We (I) have this:
// Write User/Password Code to text file
Dim strout As TextOutputStream
Dim f As FolderItem
f = GetFolderItem("").Child("PatientLog_UPC.ini")
if f <> Nil then
strout = f.CreateTextFile
strout.WriteLine userName.text
strout.WriteLine MD5( userPassword.text )
strout.Close
end if
MsgBox("The User's Name and Password has been saved. Please press 'OK' to
continue...")
Self.Close
// Read User/Password Code from text file
Dim strin As TextInputStream
Dim f As FolderItem
f = GetFolderItem("").Child("PatientLog_UPC.ini")
If r.exists then
if f <> Nil then
strin = f.OpenAsTextFile
userName.text = strin.ReadLine
userPassword.text = strin.ReadLine
strin.Close
end if
End if
Ok, now what do I do?
Jonathon

Ok, tell me this about the line of code:
myOutputStream.WriteLine MD5( thePassword )
thePassword? Is this the Editfield text, like this - thePassword.text?
Yes, or whatever variable or property you've previously stored the
password in.
Now, we got the writing TO the text file, now how do I read FROM it?
Using TextInputStream as usual. Remember that you can't undo this MD5
hash; you just read it in, and then compare it to the MD5 of whatever the
user enters for a password to see if it matches.
