Unless you're running Windows 98, the wide char routines are the preferred way for interacting with Windows. aarti_pl Joined: 07/25/06 Posts: 4 Posted: 03/19/07 20:18:31 That's ok when you just use files, which you "owns". In my company I introduced D (with standard library) for making tools for C++ code refactoring. With Tango it would not be possible now. Unfortunatelly most files which are created on Windows are NOT unicode files - they are coded with different codepages... Is there any time frame when we can expect such a functionality? I started to play with Tango and it looks interesting... larsivi Joined: 03/27/04 Posts: 614 Posted: 03/19/07 21:31:52 Currently noone has gone to the rather massive task of supporting all codepages around in D - but I believe the mango.icu package (which is Tango compatible and wraps IBM's ICU library) should do all you wanted (and probably much more) in that respect.
