'Ascii' commands changed to 'Character code'?

[Rebecca Bryant]

Hello,

 

When a v2004 database is converted to v11 will any 'Ascii' commands get
auto-changed to 'Character code' or do they remain labeled 'Ascii' but still
return a UTF-16 code?

 

TIA,

Rebecca Bryant

The 'Ascii' command has been renamed to 'Character code'. It's the same
command, but now it returns a unicode code point when in unicode mode or
an ascii code when in campatibility mode.

HTH.

Thank you Pierre. Yes, I realize the command has been renamed and will
return Unicode values (if in Unicode mode) but what I'm wondering is...Once
our database is converted to v11, when we open the structure will the
"Ascii" commands have been replaced, by the conversion, with "Character
code" or will they still say "Ascii"?

Thanks again,
Rebecca

By default, the command makes global comparisons that take linguistic
particularities and letters that may be written with one or more characters
(for example f = ae) into account. On the other hand, it is not diacritical
(a=A, a=` and so on) and does not take "ignorable" characters such as
characters whose code < 9 into account (Unicode specification).

To modify this functioning, pass the asterisk * as the last parameter. In
this case, comparisons will be based on character codes. You must pass the *
parameter:

    * If you want to replace special characters, used for example as
delimiters (Char(1), etc.),
    * If the replacement of characters must be case sensitive and take
accented characters into account (a#A, a#` and so on).
      Note that in this mode, the evaluation does not handle variations in
the way words are written.

Why? Why a space character should eat the 'e' character. Can anybody
shed some lights on it?

Hi Mike,

Hmmmm. Interesting that we both had it happen on that same digest. Do you
happen to use Time Warner Cable/Roadrunner for your internet connection by
any chance? I have no idea if that could be the issue. Or maybe it's
something to do with Vista? It's a quirky OS. For example, the scanner
function of my all-in-one printer no longer works from my Windows box now
that I'm on Vista. (I've researched it some and apparently that particular
issue is a known problem with Vista.) Maybe I should just try using gmail
again for the iNUG.

Thanks for the reply!
Rebecca

Rebecca,

Internally, 4D keeps track of each command by ID. This makes it easy for them to support multiple languages and change names of commands. So when you open a method in v11, the command code will draw with the new command name, not the old one.

HTH.

I did not know that! (As Johnny Carson would say.) But it makes perfect
sense. Thank you so much Cannon. This was very helpful!!

some how - I turned on something that forces the res/rex (or its equivalent) to update every time I log into my server.

How do I stop this??   i.e.: where is the settings hiding?
