Hi, I guess the following question has already been answerd somewher but I
couldn't find it on the archive. A search feature for the archive would be
great. After reading 20-30 mails I started to get tired of it. Has anyone
seen a a mail-archive crawler which can do a search. (That sound almost
like a fun script to write)
More seriously. I am using 5.6.3 on windows from activestate. I do the
following.
my $ole_object = ..... ;
my $unicode_string = $ole_object->GetUnicodeString() ;
print length($unicode_string), "\n" ;
# prints 17, which is the length of the unicode string
use byte () ;
print byte::length($unicode_string), "\n" ;
# prints 17, wow, the string is japanese I expect 34
print $unicode_string ;
# prints ??????????????? on the console
print FILE $unicode_string ;
# prints ??????????????? in the file
<<<<<<
What the script is to do is:
1/ get a unicode string from an Ole object
2/ read a unicode string from a file
3/ compare both strings and act upon the comparison
if the string I get from ole _is_ unicode (and it seems so) how can I
flatten it to binary? I tried with unpack without success.
Nadim.
