Write unicode functions in UTF8 is almost non-sense, most unicode operations are not like we are used in the ANSI world, in unicode also there are a language context as in example in spanish 'á' renders to uppercase 'Á' but in other languages they are different letters. There are some functions named "general case" which perform a reasonable job for most used languages and only introduce errors in non widespread ones. I have some implementations for the general case, not heavily tested, like sametext, upper, lower and a bit more. The code is not optimized but if somebody wants to use them please ask :) The case of the SameText is specially CPU consumer as each string must be transformed several times before the comparation is some complex characters are present. -- Best regards, JoshyFun _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
