Hello,

GetCount() returns 7 for the string "lubäck" Surprised

I see only 6 characters. Where is the trick?
I guess 'ä' is counted twice, but how can I know how many characters are really there in a string?

I am having problem with string aligning of text file in case of accented characters. If even GetCount give uncorrect answer I will not be able to correct the row lenght to be displayed adding additional space (it seems that for each accented characters a space is eated). By the way this was an old issue that I was never able to resolve in my application.



Here is what I mean with aligning characters

index.php?t=getfile&id=3434&private=0

I tried to accomodate the names with %-32.32 but the accented characters are counted twice (!) so the visual effect was that of eaten space or shift to left.

Perhaps I must convert the name to some other encoding before to save them Rolling Eyes let's go to try ... Anyway the number of chars I think should be calculated correctly under every encoding.

Luigi
