Re: Converting WideChar/WideString to AnsiChar/AnsiString

ckoegl пишет:

Ok, in my case I simply cannot dodge the problem: I have (for
whatever reasons) text data given as WideString and I need to call
given procedures/functions that only accept String (which in my case
means AnsiString). It is entirely acceptable that some data ist lost
during the WideString to String conversion, but: (1) All character
information that can be transferred should be transferred, and (2) I
need to know quite exactly what happens in case unconvertible
character data is encountered.


In the case these functions doesn't operate with the outer world (pure string processing) you can probably use UTF-8.
