<div dir="ltr">Hi all,<br> I finally noticed my little tagging program doesn't handle Unicode in the slightest :).<br><br> Does anyone have suggestions on handling Unicode files?<br><br> I'm on an English (United States) Windows XP install trying to build with Visual C++.<br>
<br> To deal with the headache that is passing Unicode Parameters I use URI Encoding (like here <a href="http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/">http://meyerweb.com/eric/tools/dencoder/</a>) to encode the parameters to a command line program I wrote and then decode them as they come in. This part seems to work since I can decode the strings and write them to tags with the Unicode intact.<br>
<br> But when I try to write tags to a file on a Unicode path it fails :(. Right no I'm using QT's library to handle the strings because of a stackoverflow post I found where the guy had good luck with it, but darned if I can get it working.<br>
<br>int main(int argc, char *argv[])<br>{<br><br> TagLib::List<TagLib::FileRef> fileList;<br><br> std::string fileName( "c:\\temp\\debug " );<br> std::string extension (".txt");<br> ofstream a_file ( fileName + extension );<br>
<br> QString filepath ( argv[argc - 1] );<br> <br> QString url = QUrl::fromPercentEncoding( filepath.toUtf8() );<br><br> a_file << "Param: " << url.toStdString() << "\n\n";<br>
<br> QFile myQfile ( url );<br><br> if( !myQfile.exists() ){<br> a_file << "The param \"" << myQfile.error() << "\" is not a file.";<br> }//END IF<br><br> TagLib::FileRef f( QFile::encodeName(url).constData() );<br>
<br> if(!f.isNull() && f.tag())<br> fileList.append(f);<br><br> argc--;<br><br> a_file.close();<br> <br> //... If I get this far I can start applying tags.<br><br> The above works great until I try it with a unicode path, like<br>
<br>"C:\temp\?\Power Up!.mp3"<br><br>which I encode as<br><br>C%3A%5Ctemp%5C%E7%A7%81%5CPower%20Up!.mp3<br><br>I know I'm at least getting the string decoded right since I write it to a text file and it looks right in notepad++ encoded in UTF-8 without the BOM.<br>
