Just in case anyone comes across this.
I converted the string to it's ord numbers, ';' seperated, before packaging in the xml
for example in php
$ord_string = "";
for( $i = 0; $i < strlen( $translation['t_translated'] ); $i++ ) {
$ord_string .= ord( $translation['t_translated'][$i] ) . ";";
}
gave me something like this:
101;99;99;105;111;110;101;32;34;65;99;101;112;116;97; (and on, and on, and on)
then i wrote a britescript function to convert it back to a string
I kept searching for a strtok function, oh well...
Function convertOrdToChar( in_string as String ) as String
' create a copy to work with
tmp_string = in_string
out_string = ""
while true
if tmp_string = "" then
return out_string
endif
cutoff = instr( 1, tmp_string, ";" )
print "cutoff: " + itostr( cutoff )
ord = val( left( tmp_string, cutoff ) )
print "ord: " + itostr( ord )
out_string = out_string + chr( ord )
print "out_string: " + out_string
tmp_string = mid( tmp_string, cutoff + 1 )
print "tmp_string: " + tmp_string
end while
End Function
Any one want to take a shot at making that function cleaner, be my guest
Be interesting to see what others come up with.
