>That is because you are treating the terminator as a byte. Because that's how it is currently defined and implemented. That's not to say it can't be changed, but it is what it is. >The terminator should be in the encoding of the string. Additionally >there is no reason why the terminator can't be specified as u',' >or ",\x00". Agreed, and that was why I pointed out this issue wrt unicode processing. >I don't see any reason why this unified string class won't work >providing careful attention is paid to when conversions happen and >what encoding pieces of data (like the terminator) are in. I don't think so either, but some underlying changes must be made to support unicode strings. The issue is not to break current phones with the changes, but allows coders to trannsition their phone support to unicode strings smoothly and properly. That was why I suggested the idea of not doing any unicode processing if no codec is specified. Otherwise, I have no preference between a unified STRING class and a new unicode STRING class. >I think it is especially dangerous abandoning old phones. I don't think that's what we're saying, but we do need access to the phone to test out any changes. In my particular case, I no longer have access to the Samsung A650 and LG VX8100/9800. >If people in that community stop paying attention, or don't care >about particular models then I don't see the point of BitPim also >doing so. I think we do care, otherwise we wouldn't be concerned about breaking support to existing/old phones. -Joe Pham _____________________________________________________________________ Call Anyone, Anytime, Anywhere in the World - FREE!
