Hi there,
using Kix Ver.4.22 on Windows XP I'm having problems to
get German Umlaute replaced. I'm using the following Code:
[code]
SELECT
CASE INSTR($NAME,"ä")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ä", "ae")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"ö")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ö", "oe")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"ü")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ü", "ue")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ä")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ä", "Ae")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ö")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ö", "Oe")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ü")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ü", "Ue")
CASE INSTR($NAME,"ß")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ß", "ss")
CASE INSTR($NAME," ")
$NAME = replace($NAME, " ", "_")
ENDSELECT

? $NAME

Function Replace($String,$SS,$RS)
$Replace=Join(Split($String,$SS),$RS)
EndFunction
[/code]
If I now translate "Wäsche" it replaces correctly, however having for example "Wäsche Änderung" I get back "Waesche aenderung"
Any ideas ?

Thanks, Rainer

[edit: somehow missed the topic ]

Ok, you need to tell your script to be Case Sensitive
Furthermore you will need the Loop in case of mixed Cases:

Code:

$_ = SETOPTION("CaseSensitivity","ON")



while    INSTR($NAME,"ä") or INSTR($NAME,"ö") or INSTR($NAME,"ü")

      or INSTR($NAME,"Ä") or INSTR($NAME,"Ö") or INSTR($NAME,"Ü")

      or INSTR($NAME,"ß") or INSTR($NAME," ")

    SELECT

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ä")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ä", "ae")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ö")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ö", "oe")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ü")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ü", "ue")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ä")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ä", "Ae")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ö")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ö", "Oe")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ü")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ü", "Ue")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ß")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ß", "ss")

        CASE INSTR($NAME," ")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, " ", "_")

    ENDSELECT

loop



? $NAME

Hi Jochen, thanx for your help.
I tried $NAME = "Ändern,Wäsche,Überraschung,überwintern"
and it still comes up with "aendern,Waesche,ueberraschung,ueberwintern"

Any other ideas ?

Rainer

P.S. Changed the location, thanx......

Allright then,

at the beginning you have this line ?

Code:
$_ = SETOPTION("CaseSensitivity","ON")


And your Kixtart Version is which one ?

The last finallly released version is 4.22 so if you have the Setoption line and your version is 4.22 it should work ! (Can't find this Option in the development report though)

Hi Jochen,
KiXtart 2001 4.22

Here ist the complete code again:
Code:

$_ = SETOPTION("CaseSensitivity","ON")

$NAME = "Ändern,Wäsche,Überraschung,überwintern"

while    INSTR($NAME,"ä") or INSTR($NAME,"ö") or INSTR($NAME,"ü")
      or INSTR($NAME,"Ä") or INSTR($NAME,"Ö") or INSTR($NAME,"Ü")
      or INSTR($NAME,"ß") or INSTR($NAME," ")
    SELECT
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ä")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ä", "ae")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ö")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ö", "oe")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ü")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ü", "ue")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ä")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ä", "Ae")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ö")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ö", "Oe")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ü")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ü", "Ue")
        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ß")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ß", "ss")
        CASE INSTR($NAME," ")
            $NAME = replace($NAME, " ", "_")
    ENDSELECT
loop

? $NAME

Function Replace($String,$SS,$RS)
	$Replace=Join(Split($String,$SS),$RS)
EndFunction

Dang !

Can anybody confirm that CaseSensitivity was added to SetOption while 4.50 has entered private alpha build state ?

I can't as I haven't got my Notebook with me and downloads are disabled in our environment

Rainer, you can of course consult the manual that came with your release and look under SetOption if there is 'CaseSensitivity' mentioned

Looks like Split() is not case sensitive - I just checked with 4.21 and 4.50.

This version using a different Replace seems to work ok, and you don't need to switch case sensitivity on:
Code:

$NAME = "Ändern,Wäsche,Überraschung,überwintern"
 
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ä", "Ae")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ö", "Oe")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "Ü", "Ue")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ß", "ss")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ä", "ae")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ö", "oe")
$NAME = replace($NAME, "ü", "ue")
$NAME = replace($NAME, " ", "_")
 
? $NAME
 
Function Replace($String,$SS,$RS)
	While $String
		If Left($String,1)==$SS
			$Replace=CStr($Replace)+$RS
		Else
			$Replace=CStr($Replace)+Left($String,1)
		EndIf
		$String=SubStr($String,2)
	Loop
EndFunction

Huh ?

I run this :

Code:
break on



$_ = SETOPTION("CaseSensitivity","ON")



$NAME = "Ändern,Wäsche,Überraschung,überwintern"



while    INSTR($NAME,"ä") or INSTR($NAME,"ö") or INSTR($NAME,"ü")

      or INSTR($NAME,"Ä") or INSTR($NAME,"Ö") or INSTR($NAME,"Ü")

      or INSTR($NAME,"ß") or INSTR($NAME," ")

    SELECT

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ä")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ä", "ae")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ö")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ö", "oe")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ü")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ü", "ue")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ä")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ä", "Ae")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ö")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ö", "Oe")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"Ü")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "Ü", "Ue")

        CASE INSTR($NAME,"ß")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, "ß", "ss")

        CASE INSTR($NAME," ")

            $NAME = replace($NAME, " ", "_")

    ENDSELECT

loop



? $NAME



get $

exit 1





Function Replace($String,$SS,$RS)

   $Replace=Join(Split($String,$SS),$RS)

EndFunction


and what it returns is this :


Code:
Aendern,Waesche,Ueberraschung,ueberwintern


So it must be Case Sensitive, no?

Just tried again with 4.21 and 4.50 (I don't have 4.22 to hand)

This simple test:
Code:
$=SetOption("CaseSensitivity","ON") ?
@KIX ?
 
$NAME = "Ändern Wäsche"
 
"Test string is:       " $NAME ?
"Using Split/Join:     " Replace_type1($NAME, "Ä", "Ae") ?
"Using character test: " Replace_type2($NAME, "Ä", "Ae") ?
 
Function Replace_type1($s,$t,$r)
	$Replace_type1=Join(Split($s,$t),$r)
EndFunction
 
Function Replace_type2($String,$SS,$RS)
	While $String
		If Left($String,1)==$SS
			$Replace_type2=CStr($Replace_type2)+$RS
		Else
			$Replace_type2=CStr($Replace_type2)+Left($String,1)
		EndIf
		$String=SubStr($String,2)
	Loop
EndFunction


I get:
Code:
[KiXtart 4.21]
4.21
Test string is:       Ändern Wäsche
Using Split/Join:     Aendern WAesche
Using character test: Aendern Wäsche
 
[KiXtart 4.50]
4.50 Alpha TEST Release
Test string is:       Ändern Wäsche
Using Split/Join:     Aendern WAesche
Using character test: Aendern Wäsche

Hi there,
when I'm using the replace function from Richard it works great. Maybe it also depends on the OS ??
Anyhow thanks for your help.

Ok then ... if it works for you and fits in perfectly
Depends on the OS ? Don't think so as Kixtart is pretty independant in those things (others like Macros might differ).

Maybe it is really true that Ruud added CaseSensitivity that late
However as this build isn't published yet you might better go with the solution that works, right ?

Agree,

the Code from Richard works, let's see what 4.50 will do
to that Code

Thanx again............
