I have some files I am trying to process under both v8 and 14. Under 8 i works fine but doesn't uinder 14. I made a list of the filenames then removed the obvious chars of a-z and 0-9 and then removed the duplicate chars. I then did Code: for %data in (@newerror.txt) echo [EMAIL]%@ascii[%data][/EMAIL] under v8 and v14. Under 8 I got: 7 38 39 40 41 44 46 91 93 95 8364 8218 8222 8224 8225 710 352 338 141 8216 160 161 162 164 165 173 225 but under 14 I got 7 38 39 40 41 44 46 91 93 95 199 233 228 229 231 234 232 238 236 230 225 237 243 241 209 161 223 Why would I get two different values for the 2 different versions?
Since ASCII is a 7-bit code, its values are in the 0...127 range. All codes larger than 127 come from non-ASCII characters; the same glyph may have a different code in a different code page. Do you use the same font and the same code page for V8 and V14? Any difference may account for your observation. However, I the values exceeding 255 seem really strange - as if you file were unicode, not ASCII...
I use the same codepage and font. would using unicode[] be the best idea now? I just don't understnad why two versions of the same program woulkd have entirely different results. I have also just attached the file I am talking about....
OK, I looked at the file, it is not unicode (utf-16). I know nothing about UTF-8, but it does not appear to be that, either. It's mostly ASCII, with a few bell (BEL, ^G, 0x07) characters, a lot of punctuation characters, letters, numerals, and a smattering of non-ASCII characters displayed here as European accented characters.
I used my editor to strip letters and numbers, and created my own file of one character lines for each different character code. I used the command below to list it in 4nt8, a similar one for TCC14. The log files were identical! ( for %l in (@move.chr) ( iff "%l" NE "" then ^ echo %@ascii[%l] %l ^ else ^ echo. ^ endiff ) ) > v08.log My environment: WinXP Home SP3, raster fonts for both 4nt and TCC; code page 437 for both.
Would you send me move.cv08.log and I assume v14.log please? CSGalloway at nc dot rr dot com . How can I tell what font (and if it's raster) I use in tcmd/tcc and what code page in Windows I use? TVMIA
( for %l in (@move.chr) ( iff "%l" NE "" then ^ echo %@ascii[%l] %l ^ else ^ echo. ^ endiff ) ) > v08.log In the above command - why is the [ iff "%l" NE "" then] test necessary? I stil don't understand why I am getitng different results from two different TCMD/TCC versions...
