I am updating some of my documentation on using BASIC with LO and I
wondered if case-sensitive comparisons are done with locale specific
information. I am in the US with ENGLISH locale, and I am not certain
how easily I can test this sort of thing, but I expect that a simple
compare such as
Sub StrCompTest
Print StrComp("ı", "I", 0) ' compare Turkish dotless i with upper
case i
Print StrComp("i", "I", 0) ' compare lower case i to upper case i
End Sub
In my locale, this returns -1 and 0. With a Turkish locale, I expect
that the first compare will return a 0, but I am unsure how to test
this. Any insights into this?
I'm not an expert in this, but this page:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dotted_and_dotless_I
Shows there is a small, and a capital version of the 'Turkish dotless i'
StrComp("i","I",0) only returns 0 for the small, and the capital i,
and not for the i's with diacritics (í,ì,ï, ....)
I think the 'Turkish dotless i' should be treated as an i with a
diacritic.
The code contains the Turkish dotless i, but it fails (as it should) on
my computer. I am hesitant (perhaps lazy) to mess with my computer's
locale since I don't have a good handle on the implications of changing
it or whether or not I just need to change it in an LO configuration
somewhere. I also don't want to try installing a Turkish version of
things since I would not be able to read anything. Hopefully someone who
is sufficiently familiar with these issues (say because they are turkish
or are simply aware of other examples that will fail in my locale and
work in theirs) can speak up. I do appreciate the wiki link, and it does
confirm that this should work if my locale were Turkish and if LO deals
with it correctly.
