UTF8, UTF-8, utf8, Utf8 encoding blues
Hi All, I'm reading loads, and loads of very confusing and contradicting information about UTF8 in Perl. A lot of posts are also (rightfully IMHO) stating that UTF8 is an absolute nightmare in Perl. Can someone shed some light as to what is going on here please: use Encoding; SysLog("debug", "1 - DEBUG LENGTH: " . length($Response)); my $unicode_chars = Encode::decode('utf8', $Response); SysLog("debug", "** ENCODING: " . find_encoding($Response)); my $newunicode_chars = substr($unicode_chars, 0, -3); my $Body = $newunicode...

Converting UTF8 data to UCS2 [Resolved]
 Hi.  I am currently translating a database into several languages using Unicode on SQL Server 2000.  The field types being populated are nvarchars.  Originally I used a program to drive windows to repeatedly access Babelfish,  grab the translated text and write that text to a UTF-8 encoded text file.  Opening this file in notepad as UTF-8,  and then saving as 'Unicode' allows the data to be imported quite happily into the database.  In this way,  I have successfully translated over a 1000 different screen texts and help screens. I am now writing a maintenance program to keep the various texts updated and I can successfully get the translated text in UTF-8 format,  however,  no matter what I try,  I cannot get this text into SQL Server since I appear not to be using the correct character conversion.  SQL Server nvarchars use UCS-2 as their character set which apparently is a little endian restricted version of UTF16.  Apparently the 'Unicode' property of system.text.encoding generates UCS-2 characters however,  it appears that the way I'm doing it is lacking in some respect. The code I have is as follows:    Sub B02_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs)       '*       Const CP_UTF8     As Integer = 65001       Dim UpdList     &...

(Net::LDAP) Automatically convert attributes into utf8 when writting
Hi, we are using an old version of Net::LDAP (0.39) in an old perl installation (5.10.1).

How to convert a TMemoryStream into an Base64 encoded string in DelphiXE3 and vice verse?

The built in functions do the same. Stream to stream or string to string. I would do it in two steps. 1) Encode the stream and 2) read from the destination stream into a string. -- Regards, Bruce McGee Glooscap Software > {quote:title=Mathias Pannier wrote:}{quote} > How to convert a TMemoryStream into an Base64 encoded string in DelphiXE3 > and vice verse? > > I know JCLMime.pas, but it works only from Stream to Stream or from > ANSISTRING to ANSISTRING.

NET::LDAP, somewhere the new userPassword gets base64 encoded
I'am using the Perl Net::LDAP Module with openldap-2.3.24 (uses LDAP protocol Version 3). I need to update the userPassword field, the problem is that somewhere in the middle the new password i'am giving gets base64 encoded. As to my understanding i'am preparing the whole password. In the password i'am putting first the encoding type: {MD5}, {SSHA}, etc and then the hash. No matter what i do, even the supposed encoding type gets base64 encoded once in the Server. I'am not sure if it is Net::LDAP or the server itself who is doing this: I've tried ...

? should interpolating a utf8-encoded string preserve utf8ness?
Consider my $s = 's'; utf8::upgrade($s); my $b = ":$s:"; $b isn't in utf8. Should it? I suppose one can argue that it shouldn't matter externally. karl williamson wrote: >Subject: ? should interpolating a utf8-encoded string preserve utf8ness? Interpolation should have the freedom to do whatever is more convenient. If the programmer cares about the ultimate encoding of the string, ey should explicitly upgrade or downgrade the resulting string. -zefram On Mon, Dec 13, 2010 at 10:24:25AM -0700, karl williamson wrote: > Consider > >...
