Android Question File.ReadMap problem

[marcick]

I'm using this code to read a textfile containg lines like this

First Par=this is the first par

In B4i no problems, but in B4A I obtain "First" as key and "Par=this is the first par" as value

I can find workarounds by myself modifying the text file (removing spaces at beginning like "FirstPar=" or "First_Par=") but I would avoid it if possible..

The second difference is that in B4i I can read the file (UTF-8 encoded) and show correctly the accented letters, whil ein B4A I had to convert the file with ANSI encoding.

B4i uses a simple parser for the map file. It looks for the first equal sign and splits the line.

B4A / B4J File.ReadMap is (unfortunately) based on Java properties implementation. You will need to escape the space and replace it with \u0020.
Better to use keys without spaces.

I need spaces in the keys because they becomes titles in MsgBox.
So do you mean like this ?

First\u0020Par=this is the first par

and it will works in B4i also ?

No. Better to put underscore and show it with:

Dim s As String = key.Replace("_", " ")

Or something similar.
