Hi!
I'm struggling with the TextConverter's API in Pharo :).
I wanted to test the converters in Pharo, and I found the method #convertFromSystemString: that should (from its name) convert a Pharo String into an encoded version of it.
(UTF8TextConverter default convertFromSystemString: '��').
Funny thing, it does not do that. It does the opposite: it tries to convert an encoded string to a pharo string. And so it fails. Of course, its symmetrical version does what I want and behaves as the ZnUTF8Encoder :)
(UTF8TextConverter default convertToSystemString: '��') asByteArray
��"#[195 161]"
ZnUTF8Encoder new encodeString: '��' "#[195 161]"
Question:
- does the convertTo/From methods makes sense to you or It's just me that sees them inverted?
- does it make sense to have the two versions of converters? Zn and the TextConverters do the same in my opinion (or maybe I'm confused :) )
