Hi,

just a small question... why does the following code work on PC, but not on Mac?

  
String ReplaceStr(String Original, String Search, String Replacement)   
// Replace a Substring in a String   
{   
     String res = Original;   
     LONG i = 0;   
  
     while (res.FindFirst(Search, &i;, i)) {   
          res.Delete(i, Search.GetLength());   
          res.Insert(i, Replacement);   
     }   
  
     return res;   
}   
  
String ConvertHTMLchars(String tmpl)   
// Substitute special characters by their HTML entities   
{   
     String res = tmpl;   
  
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "ä", "& auml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "ö", "& ouml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "ü", "& uuml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Ä", "& Auml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Ö", "& Ouml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Ü", "& Uuml;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "ß", "& szlig;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "€", "& euro;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "é", "& eacute;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "É", "& Eacute;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Ê", "& Ecirc;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "ê", "& ecirc;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "È", "& Egrave;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "è", "& egrave;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Â", "& Acirc;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "â", "& acirc;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "À", "& Agrave;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "à", "& agrave;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "Å", "& Aring;");   
     res = ReplaceStr(res, "å", "& aring;");   
  
     return res;   
}

On PC, the special characters are replaced by HTML entities. On Mac, nothing happens. Why?

Cheers,
Jack

I editied the code, it didn't display correctly before.

Have you tried Unicode formatting instead ("\u0..." - "\u00a9" for the copyright symbol as you might encode it in your c4d_strings.str file)? The fact that they display in your IDE just means that the font being used has Unicode characters in it.

Ha, that sounds perfectly reasonable.
After encoding all the special chars to Unicode, it still works on PC... will see in a couple of minutes if it does so on the Mac, too

Hi Jack, I suggest you to convert the String with 'StringEncoding' to 'StHTML'. This should work fine. Good luck

P.S: 'StHTML' might be not documentated(in R10), even available in the sources.

Arrgh, I have always thought that was introduced with R11.
They could really have put that into the R10 SDK docs...

Thanks a lot!
