(Or AddDate, DateDiff functions ready in ideal case) Regards, Mohsen A. Momeni Well, that's why I'm saying your implementation is not what MySQL people expect. The date data type is representation-agnostic itself, and AddDate, DateDiff, etc work with the date data type (at least in MySQL). What you need is functions to covert from internal date representation to Iranian calendar string, and vice versa. You don't need (and should not) implement all date functions again. --behdad http://behdad.org/ I'm not sure how the date data type can be representation agnostic. What ever the OS provides (via a system call) is in reference to a starting point in some calendar. On UNIX systems, this is traditionally the number of seconds since January 1, 1970, i.e. Gregorian. GetSystemTime on Win32 returns a structure, which represents the Gregorian date. ___ PersianComputing mailing list PersianComputing@lists.sharif.edu http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: Persian numbers in Glibc
Does Glibc support persian numbers? Yes. This is what 'I' flag defined for. (see printf manual part 3) You can change your '%d' and '%f' with '%Id' and '%If' in printf parameters like this: printf (%Id, 12345); And you will see Persian digits if you set you locale to fa_IR. If think you wanted to say %lc -- the length modifier l is applied to char type: printf(%lc, 0x06f3); // arabic-indic digit 3 No. I exactly meant 'I' flag which does what he wants. Check printf man page part 3 and look for 'Arabic' or 'Persian'. I see. The font I use shows lower case 'L' the same as upper case 'I'. For what it is worth, according to ISO C99, if __STDC_ISO_10646__ macro is defined, you can use the l (lower case 'L') modifier for char (%c) format to print a UNICODE char: Is the upper case i (eye) for printf in the ISO C standard? glibc 2.2 adds one further flag character. I For decimal integer conversion (i, d, u) the output uses the locale's alternative output digits, if any. For example, since glibc 2.2.3 this will give Arabic-Indic digits in the Persian (`fa_IR') locale. ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
Re: Using of U+066C as a number-separator
BTW, what would the use of Reh instead of proper chars like U+066C or U+066B do to sort orders or parsing of numeric vs. alphabetic sequences? For example, a function persian_ispunct() la ANSI C ispunct() would then have to include Reh as a possible punctuation character.

Nesf2 is deprecated, as far as the original author (Hooman Mehr), its porter to Unicode (Mehran Mehr) and the latest maintainers (FarsiWeb) are concerned. There are currently no plan to support it. Is there an alternative for me? May I use the 'Reh' until most of users have standard systems? Reh is definitely very ambiguous, specially since it's confusable with the more common Iran University Press usage of it for the decimal separator. Use may comma or apostrophe or something like that. 2. Ask my website visitors to download a newer version of Tahoma (What about the font Nesf?) Tahoma makes sense. Alternatively, tell them to download FarsiWeb fonts. B) What is this Arabic Decimal Separator (U+066B)?

Re: IranSystem to Unicode (UTF-8) converter
I've include the man page for tcs utility in Plan9 OS. Would something like this do what you want? If so, I'll post the instructions on how to get the sources to this list. Tcs has been ported to Posix environments like BSD, Linux, Cygwin (for Windows) -Fariborz TCS(1) TCS(1) NAME tcs - translate character sets SYNOPSIS tcs [ -slcv ] [ -f ics ] [ -t ocs ] [ file ... ] DESCRIPTION Tcs interprets the named file(s) (standard input default) as a stream of characters from the ics character set or format, converts them to runes, and then converts them into a stream of characters from the ocs character set or format on the standard output. The default value for ics and ocs is utf, the UTF encoding described in utf(6). The -l option lists the character sets known to tcs. Processing continues in the face of conversion errors (the -s option prevents reporting of these errors). The -c option forces the output to con- tain only correctly converted characters; otherwise, 0x80 characters will be substituted for UTF encoding errors and 0xFFFD characters will substituted for unknown characters. The -v option generates various diagnostic and summary information on standard error, or makes the -l output more verbose. Tcs recognizes an ever changing list of character sets. In particular, it supports a variety of Russian and Japanese encodings. Some of the supported encodings are utfThe Plan 9 UTF encoding, known by ISO as UTF-8 utf1 The deprecated original UTF encoding from ISO 10646 ascii 7-bit ASCII 8859-1 Latin-1 (Central European) 8859-2 Latin-2 (Czech ..

Re: [PersianComputing] Koodak font: alpha release
I see. That's nice if it works. It works; witness: Linux, FreeBSD, NetBSD, XWindows, Apache, Cygwin, Perl, MySQL, to name a few. To be entirely accurate some of the above are GPL, which eventhough puts no restrictions on commercial exploitation, requires the derived work to be GPL also. -Fariborz ___ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
