x27;t need the base64 stuff - this is just for storing prefs data in a local file. However, for backwards compatibility purposes, I think I will leave it in place, especially since arrayEncode will handle any Unicode for me. Pete lcSQL Software <http://www.lcsql.com> Home of lcStackBrowser &

Re: LC7 arrayEncode/Decode

LC7 arrayEncode/Decode

LC7 uses a different method of encoding arrays to handle Unicode keys/contents. The arrayEncode function has a new version parameter that determines whether the new or old method is used. However, there is no version parameter for the arrayDecode function. Does this mean that LC7 can detect the
