HTML characters convert {Resolved]

[Kwai chang caine]

Hello at all

In French language there are a character "œ" made with 2 letters "o" and "e" glued together like for the word "cœur" => Heart in english
I try to convert an HTML sentence with this word inside, for example :
I love PureBasic and all the members of his forum, of all my ''cœur''

and when i run this code

Code: Select all

HtmlSentence$ = "I love PureBasic and all the members of his forum%2c of all my %27%27c%C5%93ur%27%27"

Text$ = ReplaceString(HtmlSentence$, "%27", "'")
Text$ = ReplaceString(Text$, "%2c", ",")
Text$ = ReplaceString(Text$, "%C5%93", Chr(156)) ; oe

Debug Text$

The answer is

I love PureBasic and all the members of his forum, of all my ''cœur''

Like you see, the %C5%93 => "oe"=> chr(156) not appear,

U+0153 œ c5 93 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE

https://www.utf8-chartable.de/unicode-u ... ?start=256
but the quote ' => chr(39) and the comma , => chr(44) yes

How can i force to write this character "%C5%93" => Chr(156) in my code ?

Have a good day

if you look into Tools\Character Table, the 156 is empty.

I found with the Windows Tool CharacterTable the 'oe' as CHR(339)

Code: Select all

HtmlSentence$ = "I love PureBasic and all the members of his forum%2c of all my %27%27c%C5%93ur%27%27"

Text$ = ReplaceString(HtmlSentence$, "%27", "'")
Text$ = ReplaceString(Text$, "%2c", ",")
Text$ = ReplaceString(Text$, "%C5%93", Chr(339)) ; oe

Debug Text$

Just use the right character directly in your code:

Code: Select all

Text$ = ReplaceString(Text$, "%C5%93", "œ") ; oe

U+0153 œ c5 93 LATIN SMALL LIGATURE OE

U+153 is a hexadezimal value => Chr($153) in PureBasic.

First hello at all, and thanks a lot for your quick answer

I found with the Windows Tool CharacterTable the 'oe' as CHR(339)

You have right
After reading the answer of Little John i understand why i confused with this value, it's the Hexa value not decimal
Thanks a lot for your code who perfectly works

Just use the right character directly in your code:

It's the first time i have try
But the problem, it's when i paste this character i don't know why the PB IDE (v5.73 and 6.0) show a little black square, not the "oe"
I have choose "UTF8" in the menu "File/File format" and it's the same thing

U+153 is a hexadezimal value => Chr($153) in PureBasic.

You have try the reason of my error
Thanks to you, i understand now, even after numerous year in PB, i have always so much problem to manage UTF8 and HEXA

@All

You may use a font in your IDE that does not come with that character. I use "Liberation Mono Regular" which works fine with a lot of special characters.

You may use a font in your IDE.............

I did not know, after several decade i use PB, it's possible to change the font

You know .... the numeric have his "UID" (Unique Identifier)
KCC have his "UIN" (Unique Intelligency Neuronal) and when you have like me this one, never you try to modify a default parameter
KCC is already so happy to see that run when he push the button START

So i have the default font "Courier Normal 10"
I have try your font and that works

After....your font is when even different of courier and i'm feel a little bit lost, you also know..the olds not always like the change
I keep your font and see if i found a font more resembling to courier and able to write this damned "œ" or others damned characters
Thank you very much for your precious advise
