Description

file encoding is a very complicated issue. if the npl file encoding is set to utf8 ( usually without signature), then to display a file, one usually needs to convert from system default encoding to utf8 and vice versa. However, it is still impossible to display a file name created in one encoding system and opened in another.

Sample Code

NPL.load("(gl)script/ide/Encoding.lua");
commonlib.Encoding.Utf8ToDefault(text)
commonlib.Encoding.DefaultToUtf8(text)

print(commonlib.Encoding.SortCSVString("Cword,Aword,Bword"))
