Reading unicode filenames
« Thread started on: Aug 30th, 2014, 9:30pm » |

I'm trying to write a utility to convert utf-8 chars in filenames into their nearest ANSI equivalent, as well as shortening long filenames etc.
When I try to read filenames with the standard SYS FindFirstFile program, unusual chars come out as question marks. *Spool-ing *Dir produces the same result. A rummaging through Google suggests I should be using FindFirstFileW and similar calls, but nothing at all comes back from this.

FindFirstFileW works for me:
Code: CP_UTF8 = &FDE9
VDU 23,22,640;512;8,16,16,128+8 : REM Select UTF-8 mode
*font Courier New
PROClistdirectory_utf8
END
DEF PROClistdirectory_utf8
LOCAL dir%, sh%, res%, utf8%
DIM dir% LOCAL 317, utf8% LOCAL 260
SYS "FindFirstFileW", "*"+CHR$0+CHR$0, dir% TO sh%
IF sh% <> -1 THEN
REPEAT
SYS "WideCharToMultiByte", CP_UTF8, 0, dir%+44, -1, utf8%, 260, 0, 0
PRINT $$utf8%
SYS "FindNextFileW", sh%, dir% TO res%
UNTIL res% = 0
SYS "FindClose", sh%
ENDIF
ENDPROC

Interesting.
I thought the SYS/API parameters were identical from the C examples I could find,
I suspected they were not, but further searching proved fruitless.
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
