 Posted: Mon Oct 16, 2006 1:49 pm Post subject: Encoding Problem using greek Codepage |
 |
|
Hi,
I have a complex problem regarding greek characters so I will try to
explain you the details.
I am running a german Windows version and I have an oracle 8i db that
holds records where greek characters are stored. The datase is based
upon UTF8 and the Windows Registry has the value NLS_LANG =
GREEK_GREECE.EL8MSWIN1253 that is necessary that oracle translates UTF8
fields to codepage 1253 (greek).
Thats the situation:
With my app I can write greek characters to the database and I also can
reopen
those records to see the greek characters inside my application.
But I can not store the greek characters in a file.
What I also did was changing the Windows registry key under
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Nls\CodePage\ACP]
from 1252 to 1253. So everytime I tried saving records in a file I get
other charcters and not the ones i wnat to see.
I also changed manually the encoding of the text file from ASCII to
UTF8 but i still can't see greek characters.
Does anybody know if this is a problem in the database or more a
problem regarding Windows settings?
Thanks
Regards
Poncho |

sounds like a combination of things. |
i assume your using WideStrings ? it's my guess that
language may need it?
and maybe you have not selected to correct font in your
app ?
