Characters encoding in Javascript

stephanegattoni

Hello,

I'm experimenting the new object Javascript in the V2, for coding some strings. I've a problem with the accented characters of the output values. Does anybody know how I can change the charset of my strings?

Thank you,
Stéphane

Hi Primald,

Yes, you guess! I'ld like to output text in French, with characters like é, à, è.

I'ld to concatenate 2 strings, and I thought that the new Javascript object could be great. The only problem is the charset. Any idea to do it?
I attach a patch to be completely clear.

This capability has not been tested at all.. currently I think it's reading ASCII only. We'll need to see if it's possible to have multi-lingual support... please file a bug report on this one so we won't lose track.

Thanks,
Mark

Thank you Mark for your answer. I'll file a bug report about this and the abaility to work with UTF-8.
Do you think it's possible to concatenate strings with others objects?

Thanks,
Stéphane

The Text Formattter actor will concatenate strings. Just use two parameters

p1 p2

and feed the strings into the two inputs.
