Hi,=20

i have asp page that receives user input.
the input can be from ascii character set or from unicode character set =
and i have no control of which character set to revceive the input.
how can i use vbscript or an external vb class to convert from unicode =
to ascii or from ascii to unicode?

TIA, z.

hi z,

this question has been asked before.

I suggest you read carefully the results of a google search:

http://groups-beta.google.com/groups?as_q=unicode+convert&num=10&scoring=r&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&as_epq=&as_oq=iso+%C3%ADso+%C3%AFs%C3%B5+is%C3%B2&as_eq=&as_ugroup=microsoft.public.scripting.vbscript&as_usubject=&as_uauthors=&as_drrb=q&as_qdr=&as_mind=1&as_minm=1&as_miny=1981&as_maxd=6&as_maxm=12&as_maxy=2004&safe=off

there you will find all sorts of suggestions.

Beyond that, there is the basic "brute force" way, that is by treating the
string as a byte array, and using LenB, MidB, Asc, and AscW functions to
process the strings character by character.

If you want to write a little actX object, then vb has a string conversion
function.

if you are courageous (or foolhardy) enough to call api's from script, then
there is are api's which will do it also (MultiByteToWideChar and
WideCharToMultiByte)....
