Decode UTF-8

[CapReed]

Hi!

Can you please tell me how I can convert the string "Gestión" which is in UTF-8 encoding in your right it would be "Gestión"?

I try this, but dont go ...

Dim charset As String
        Dim data As String
        charset = "UTF-8"
        data = "as hdajksdh kasdh kashd sda" ' Here the string in UTF-8 
        Dim bytes As List
        bytes.Initialize
        Dim i As Int
        Do While i < data.Length
            Dim c As String
            c = data.CharAt(i)
            
                bytes.AddAll(c.GetBytes(charset))
            
         
            i = i + 1
        Loop
        Dim b(bytes.Size) As Byte
        For i = 0 To bytes.Size - 1
            b(i) = bytes.Get(i)
        Next
        Log(BytesToString(b, 0, b.Length, charset))
      BytesToString(b,0,b.Length,charset)

Thank you.

What is the purpose of this list?

 

[CapReed]

I retrieve the text/html emails sections, I remove the html tags and then compose the text to display in a label included in a panel that is inside a ScrollView. Not worth a webview I do not want to show email, what I want is to work with the text extracted and analyzed.

Thanks.

So where do the bytes come from? Are you sure that the page is encoded in UTF8?

This is a email example with charset="UTF-8".

I think that "Si tiene problemas para visualizar este mensaje, pulse aquÃ" is UTF-8 , but i dont sure. The correct is "Si tiene problemas para visualizar este mensaje, pulse aquí".

Maybe this topic is out of your advice. If so, you indicate me without problems.
Thank you.

Here's what I observe: If loading this page using utf-8, both characters you mention are turning 'chinese'. If loaded with ISO-8859-1, I can see the two letters correctly displayed (at least so I think). Somehow I think that the email client is not truly using utf-8.

 

[CapReed]

Thank you very much for answering.

These characters are displayed in the Log window when I download the mail using the Net library 1.30. I downloaded all the emails, I apply the appropriate decoding either UTF-8 or ISO-8859-1 and I'm getting it all out texts with the correct encoding using the code above post. But these characters always go wrong ...

I'm making sure something silly.

Again, thank you very much.

 

[CapReed]

Perhaps, most likely, this is a sloppy solution, but so far I have not found anything better. You do not what you have in mind ...

Thanks for your interest.
