Hi,

Can someone help me with the option "use conversion table" ?
The help says that a translate table can be defined, but I don't see where.
Translate from what to what ? I gues it is from Unicode to ISO-Latin1 ?
In IE I see "mécanique"
In the visu I see "m" followed by capital A with tilde followed by the copyright symbol followed by "canique".
So I need to translate the french character set.
But I guesss, you germans have the same problems ?

Thank you
Raymond

So, no one uses the "translation table" ?
But, when you capture a web page string (other than USASCII) and display it on the HomeServer, it doesn't look correct.
Nobody cares ?

I wrote a logic module to put things right....

You can find it on my homepage under "Hs-Skripts" - Wetter....

It is called "Textkonvertierung". If you open it with an editor, you can add additional conversion rules.

Same for me. I wrote a universal search&replace module for such things including replacing non-printable characters. ;)

OK. Thank you very much. I have to do some "pythoning".

Anyone having an idea about this translation table mentionned in the help ? It is there just to confuse people ? http://www.knx-professionals.de/forum/images/icons/icon10.gif

This will also work for any other escape-character. ;)

OK, thank you.
I would appreciate an example on how to do this.
I don't even know where to start, so, a pointer to the procedure would help a lot.

Thanks again

No problem :D :

See the attached screenshot how to delete a carriage return and where to set the marker in order to use the table.

One more question about the translation. What is the character set used by the HS to display data in 14Byte ?
I've made some tests with the french character set, and it works. I've setup a web server test page, and what I see in IE is the same as a the display of a 14Byte in the HS. Nevertheless, depending on the selected web site (Google forum), some characters (é, è etc) are wrongly displayed. A view of the web page source code doesn't help, as the text is generated by scriptshttp://www.knx-professionals.de/forum/images/icons/icon8.gif.
My conclusion, it is not so that "some" characters are wronly displayed, but rather that, depending on the source character set, all non-ASCII characters are wronly displayed. Hence the question: translate what to what ?
Any hint is welcome.

What is the character set used by the HS to display data in 14Byte ?IMHO the used character set depends on

the system-settings of Windows for the client, and/or
the coding settings of the browser used
all non-ASCII characters are wronly displayedThat was the reason for developing the logic module.
E.g. the german ü is coded by "ü"

That was the reason for developing the logic module.
Plus, the fact that you've more flexibility. I understand that the the translation table is a one-to-one translation, so no way to catch a double byte character.


E.g. the german ü is coded by "ü"
I tested this kind of representation, and also the numeric representation (i.e. &225; ) and it works ! But for some reason I fail to understand why some pages are wrongly displayed.
In my HS, I've setup a RSS feed for the forum http://groups.google.com/group/domotique-EIB
and there...:shithappe

Tentative conclusion.
The HomeServer doesn't support Unicode (UTF-8)
The character é in ISO Latin-1=E9 and is displayed correctly.

The character é in Unicode (UTF-8)=C3A9 and is displayed incorrectly as 2 character: A tilde followed by arobase.

Maybe someone has already written a Baustein ?
Otherwise, I've to write a logic module. The translation table can only translate 1 byte in a one-to-one relation.
