Hi Josep,
You might convert from Windows to Mac using the IsoToMac function, but a few
characters will be converted incorrectly. Normally, my advice would be to set
up the entire database with UTF8 encoding and convert all strings to UTF8
before writing them to the database. Search strings would need to be converted
to UTF8 too.
I am surprised that even the word demo doesn't work for you, but I guess the
reason is that the encryption doesn't return the same value on both platforms.
You need to encode to UTF8 first and then encrypt. How do you do the encryption
exactly?
When you are sure that the encoding and encryption are correct, then the ASCII
values of all bytes of the encrypted string should be the same on both
platforms, even though the characters displayed in a field may be different. As
a last step, use the binaryEncode function to convert the string from binary to
hexadecimal. The hex string should be exactly the same on both platforms.
Hexadecimal strings don't need to be encoded as UTF8 again. You can simply
write to the Mac encoded database, since all characters 0-9 and A-F are the
same regardless the encoding.

Hi everyone,
I made a mess with the coding of characters between windows - mac and mac -
windows.
I have a function that encrypts a word and then validates the encrypted word
with the value of the database. In Mac is working properly, but Windows
doesn't. The value produced in Windows encryption has nothing to do with the
Mac. I know the characters differences... but I'm lost. :(
The word is demo, without accents or unusual characters.
What am I missing? Should I convert from Windows with ISOtoMac function?
Also doesn't work.
Any ideas?
Salut,
Josep
