Hi all, Stripping accents from a string is often needed when dealing with external systems accepting only ASCII alphabet, and is useful to prepare strings for comparison (in case of names f.e.).
original: "aááäbcdeéfghiííjklmnoóóöőőpqrstuúúüűűvwxyz" stripped: "aaaabcdeefghiiijklmnoooooopqrstuuuuuuvwxyz" This functionality is missing from Harbour, yet it would be best integrated to the codepage subsystem. But before I do anything, I'd like to discuss it here. I was thinking adding two new strings to the HB_CODEPAGE structure, which would hold the necessary ASCII character equivalent of the current accented lowercase and uppercase char strings. Any comments? Brgds, Viktor
