Fast binary sort for strings in a list?

Hello :D

Has anyone ever written a fast sort function (for strings inside a list) for Windows that compares by character value?
Which means that e.g.:
! < ... < A < B ...< \ ... < a < b ... < } ...

It would be cool if this would be UTF-8 compatible...

The normal SortList() doesn't work this way ...

Re: Replace text in .pdf file?

@morosh

Thank you!

cpdf does not seem to be capable of finding and replacing text but it could be used to add text to a (blank, apart from already present & fixed elements) pdf file.

I'm not that firm with api access, it seems it's not possible to define a different font to add text apart from ...

Re: Replace text in .pdf file?

Great, really, thanks a lot!

rtf is really a mess to read but at last I can do text replacements with minimal effort and it doesn't require huge apps / installations.

I didn't want to have a hard time converting my pdf into rtf so I looked around and stumbled upon "AbleWord" (http://www.ableword ...

Convert string to hex with a specific format?

Hi,

does anyone have a function to convert a normal string to a hex output like this (unicode, if a char has multiple bytes, all of them are shown) and returns that as a string as well?

E.g. for: Chinese-漢-character
