Hejsan Fredrik,
Hi there,
I'm writing a small application that's supposed to keep track of
different tasks for certain people at work. I'm using a datagrid to
present the data and simple text files for storage. The problem is
that I tend to lose the characters åäö and ÅÄÖ (which we use a lot
here in Sweden).
At first I simply loaded a tab-delimited file into the dgText of the
datagrid but that didn't work.
After searching around on the forums/mailing list I found some code
for handling UTF-encoded text and thus I changed the "Open file"-
code to something like this:
set the unicodetext of fld "importedData" of card "Data" to
uniencode(tFile,"UTF8")
put the fld "importedData" of card "Data" into tData
And then I set the dgText to tData. This worked fine until I started
messing around with making some columns into presenting calculated
values only. Since I didn't need to save the data in those columns
to any file I started using the dgData-property to only save & load
specific fields instead.
The problem is that now I lose my special characters. They simply do
not appear in the text. They're still there in the text file, just
not in the "importedData"-field and thus neither in the datagrid. I
have no idea why my first solution suddenly stopped working. The
text file is in the "UTF-8"-format.
Does anyone out there have any good ideas of how to work with text
with special characters? Or perhaps you can point me toward a
previous thread with useful info. Right now I know nothing about
character encoding except that they make my life more difficult..
sigh.
Maybe this will help you:
