character location name tanmoa

[LoOni3r 6]

Hello everyone,

 

i work a lot with the names of the locations, for example Oua-Oué.

I use a file based "database". When creating file names with é will that é replaced by Ã©.

this is because the API between arma 3 and c ++ is too old to convert utf8

 

Now i want é replace by e with splitString.

splitString give me  2x ""instead of  é out.

So I cannot replace it before handing it over to the database

 

 

	_locnamearr = _locname splitString "";
	private _letter = "";
	{
		systemchat _x;
	}forEach _locnamearr;

 

 

is there any other way to replace the é in e?

 

Many Thanks.

- greetings

private _string = "hélloWorld";
private _cleanedArr = [];
{
if (_x == 233) then {
_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
} else {
_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
}; 
} forEach toArray _string;

private _cleaned = toString _cleanedArr;
_cleaned //=> helloWorld

Not exactly the cleanest solution but it works.  There must be a better way of doing it though.

Thank you very much, that first helped me.
are these DIK KeyCodes? how did you find out what is 233 and 101?

 

 

eidt:\\ Roger that. ToArray converts to numbers.

We can now use forceUnicode that recently added.

sometimes i miss good old php ...

 

I created a function. Works well so far.

 

FNC_PUBLIC_CHANGE_CHARACTER = {
	params ["_string"];
	switch (true) do {
		case ("'" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 39) then {
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("é" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 233) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("ä" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 228) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 79;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
					
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("Ä" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 196) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 65;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("ö" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 246) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 111;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
					
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("Ö" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 214) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 79;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("ü" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 252) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 171;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
					
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
		case ("Ü" in _string): {
			private _cleanedArr = [];
			{
				if (_x isEqualTo 220) then {
					_cleanedArr pushBack 85;
					_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				} else {
					_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
				}; 
			}forEach toArray _string;
			_string = toString _cleanedArr;
		};
	};
	_string
};

That just hurts to look at:

FNC_PUBLIC_CHANGE_CHARACTER = {
	params ["_string"];
	
	private _cleanedArr = [];
	{
		switch (_x) do {
			case 39: {break;};
			case 233: {_cleanedArr pushBack 101; break;};
			case 228: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 79;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				break;
			};
			case 196: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 65;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				break;
			};
			case 246: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 111;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				break;
			};
			case 214: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 79;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				break;
			};
			case 252: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 171;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 101;
				break;
			};
			case 220: {
				_cleanedArr pushBack 85;
				_cleanedArr pushBack 69;
				break;
			};
			default {
				_cleanedArr pushBack _x;
			};
		};
	} forEach toArray _string;
	
	toString _cleanedArr
};

Guys? Will you guys just ignore about forceUnicode? This works completely fine for me.
