Hi, I am attempting to handle raw filenames (which may be encoded differently than the character set used by the filesystem) gracefully.
I am looking for a function that is similar to: g_filename_display_name(), but instead of converting illegal byte sequence to Unicode replacement character (0xef 0xbf 0xbd in UTF-8), I would like the illegal byte sequence to be escaped to ASCII as in URI. To be clear, I want UTF-8 characters remain UTF-8 and only escape non-UTF-8 byte sequence. Is there a function that does that? That is, I would like this string (demonstrating a mostly UTF-8 filename, with a raw character outside of UTF-8 character set): Character: P r e s e n t a c i ó n ó . s x i Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 f3 6e c3 b3 2e 73 78 69 To be converted to this: Character: P r e s e n t a c i % f 3 n ó . s x i Hex code: 50 72 65 73 65 6e 74 61 63 69 25 66 33 6e c3 b3 2e 73 78 69 I tried g_convert_with_fallback(str, -1, "UTF-8", "UTF-8" /* whatever codeset used by filesystem */, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL), but this function won't accept non-UTF-8 input. Thanks much for any hint. -- Daniel Yek _______________________________________________ gtk-app-devel-list mailing list gtk-app-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-app-devel-list
