hi
i use activeX to get Attachment from Outlook and save it to Disk
Code: Select all
Attachment:Item( i ):SaveAsFile( cOut + cName )
Problem : when have "Umlaute" i can see in CMD Box still a Square instead of "Umlaut"
Explorer and HMG App using UTF8 does show it right.
pass Filename to SumatraPDF with "Umlaut" work but FreeImage does not load it.
FreeImage does load File when create a new File with "Umlaute" which also show in CMD Box right.
---
have try to run HMG App under different Codepage but most get "?" sign so it was not saved
i have to use UTF8 which is default when compile Unicode Version
is there any Way to get right "Umlaute" in Filename

hi,
i try to use
Code: Select all
IF HB_UAT("ü",cName) > 0 // not work
cName := HB_UTF8STRTRAN(cName,"ü","ue")
where i use Notepad++ and UTF8 (also try ANSI) for that Code.
but it does work so i wrote Debug Code to get ASC() of each Sign.
Code: Select all
PROCEDURE DoTestSign(cName)
LOCAL nSign, i , iMax, aSign := {}
IF HB_UAT("Rot", cName) > 0
iMax := HB_ULEN(cName)
FOR i := 1 TO iMax
nSign := ASC( HB_UTF8SUBSTR(cName,i,1) )
AADD(aSign, nSign)
NEXT
MsgInfo( hb_valToExp(aSign),cName)
ENDIF
RETURN
all Sign > 128 are interessing and i found CHR(204)
Code: Select all
IF CHR(117)+CHR(204) $ cName
cName := HB_UTF8STRTRAN(cName,CHR(117)+CHR(204),"ue")
ENDIF
this work but i still had CHR(204) in CMD Box
than i change Code in 2 Parts
Code: Select all
IF CHR(117)+CHR(204) $ cName
cName := HB_UTF8STRTRAN(cName,CHR(117),"ue")
ENDIF
// this is need to delete Square in CMD Box
nPosi := HB_UAT(CHR(204),cName)
IF nPosi > 0
cName := HB_UTF8SUBSTR(cName,1,nPosi-1)+HB_UTF8SUBSTR(cName,nPosi+1)
ENDIF
now i got a Filename which i can access with my harbour App
attached Code
why does it not work direct with "ü"
do i still have wrong Editor for UTF8 and German "Umlaut"

Do you try to set the "codepage" ?
==> SET CODEPAGE TO UNICODE

Hi.
Does the same problem with the names of saved attachments occur when you manually save them from Outlook?
If you save attachment via ActiveX, is the code page of your application also set to UTF8?
Send me examples on the e-mail that I provided on P.M.

Hi.
For me, both from Outlook and from my POP client, it saves your attachments correctly. Displaying a directory in UTF8 and DEWIN (ISO) encoding also correctly shows all characters contained in the name. However, when using the DE850 encoding, some characters (long dashes, opening and closing quotes) are invalid, which is understandable as they are not supported in the ASCII 256 table.
- dir2.png (73.5 KiB) Viewed 2211 times
The dir() system command also shows ok.
- dir.png (224.82 KiB) Viewed 2211 times
Attached I am sending a demo of my POP3 client in which I decode the attachment names, message subject and sender name from MIME format to a supported code page.
The pop3 client parameters (pop3 server, port, SSL support, login and password) are defined in the email() function.
