Copying different-encoded language reveal garbled text

Postby Reuvenm » Mon Jul 25, 2005 12:39 pm

While copying text from within the editor, and that text includes foreign characters/encoding, if you paste that clipboard into another editor, word-proccessor etc, you end up with garbled text (no preservation of the encoding, problem I do not have the other way around eg, pasting the text into Rapid-PHP from another application, or amongst other applications.
the foreign characters (Hebrew in this case) are shown alright in the preview pane, and from that window, if I copy the text, it is copied ok onto another applications' window/editor.

RapidPHP 6.1.054, purchased

The problem is similar to:

The editor doesn't recognize code page defined in HTML header. What makes me wonder is that Blumentals Software is located in Latvia so they use ISO-8859-4, ISO-8859-10 or ISO-8859-13 and the don't see any problem here.

Grzegorz, Actually we use windows-1257

I believe the problem is that when you copy a text, it is copied in plain text with no encoding attached (Unicode is not supported, as you know). So in case the target program text editing area is not using system default encoding then you won't get the expected results. This is because Windows supports only one default system encoding for apps that does not use Unicode so this default encoding is used for clipboard and also for programs that does not support unicode, such as Rapid PHP.
