Exporting Foriegn Characters

Classic Servoy
1

Hi,

I’m very happy that Servoy supports foriegn languages.

I tried typing some unicode supported foriegn langauges in Servoy like Chinese & Arabic which could be displayed and searched in Servoy.

My question how to export this into a text file?

I need to export some data from Servoy (using Sybase) to a text file and update my web data which is in MySql

I tried exporting to a text file but the foreign langage text is stored as (???).

Could some one explain me the process?

Thanks

If you are seeing stuff like ??? and other symbols, maybe your text editor doesn’t support unicode. Most recent web browser do, so try to open file with a browser.

some versions of mySQL do not support unicode… which version are you on?

Servoy ‘thinks’, communicates and writes in Unicode which is language and characterset independent. At the same time if you process plain text files to a remote db it will depend on your local OS and remote db and middleware (ODBC, JDBC?) how translation is handled. As you might have noticed Servoy is quite flexibile in this but most other apps and middleware are not.
