[Pharo-project] Problem with encoding and double quotes
Hi! I am having a problem with encoding and I am not sure if it is a bug or if it is correct. I copy Pier and Pharo mailing list. I am in Linux and when I write a double quote I write something like this: "Muelle Almirante Storni" If I write in OpenOffice, when I type the double quote key, OpenOffice writes something like this: âMuelle Almirante Storniâ Notice that the quotes are these last ones are twisted and the first were straight. If I copy paste "Muelle Almirante Storni" in a workspace of Pharo, it is perfectly understood. But if I paste I get: ?Muelle Almirante Storni? Now...I am developing a pier application my main problem is that my "functional information" is in .doc so they that the twisted ones. As they are put in the image trought Pier and a KomEncoded, there is not problem....until I try to search on the string. If I evaluate: ' âMuelle Almirante Storniâ' findString: 'esquel' startingAt: 1 caseSensitive: false This has a problem (index out of range) because internaly it tries to ask the asciiValue and this answers 2881 -> absurd Now, my solution is everytime I copy paste the text from a .doc to a Pier page I have to replace those twisted quotes for the straight ones. Is this a bug? or it is just like this ? thanks mariano

I'm confused what works and doesn't work. Copy/paste within Pharo with normal or typographical quotes?

sounds like two different bugs, the paste problem (if I understood you correctly) and the search problem. Michael

Normal work perfect. With typographical when I past it, the quotes are replaced by '?' and thus I see ?Muelle Almirante Storni?

In addition, I did this tests in Windows (the rest was Linux) and in windows works perfect all the situations with both quotes.

Interesting....I found anothers two. Damn! No only those typographical quotes but also this 'â' thing that Word puts I think when you type one '-' after another '-'. For example '--' it converts it to 'â' and that is 8211 ascii. Then when you type '...' sometimes it converts it to 'â¦' (they are not just 3 dots., they are smaller and nearer each other). This ascii is 8230 See here: http://www.ascii.cl/htmlcodes.htm When you put them in a Pier page, they are properly rendered. But, when you ask the ascii to those characters in pharo, they are >255 and they are out of range compared to "matchTable" Best, Mariano On Tue, Jul 14, 2009 at 9:48 AM, Mariano Martinez Peck < marianopeck@gmail.com> wrote:
