Hello, friends)

plz, help me. I use Cmarkup for parse XML(encoded ANSI(cp1251)), where i use method xml.GetAttrib(MCD_CSTR szAttrib), i get path to file, where latin symbols - ? and number code 65533, cause i can't to use this path in code. How I will can to get work path?
it's my code:

C++

int ReadXMLAndWriteToPdf(string XMLFile, string DirDest)
{
	unsigned int index_sec = 0;
	if ((XMLFile != "") && (DirDest != ""))
	{
		CMarkup xml;
		char* ch_sec = "";
		wstring wstrXML(XMLFile.begin(), XMLFile.end());
		
		try
		{
			xml.Load(wstrXML);
			xml.FindElem();
			xml.IntoElem();
			xml.FindElem(MCD_T("img2PDF"));
			xml.IntoElem();
			dreamsys::DreamSysPDF pdf("", "");
			
			while (xml.FindElem(MCD_T("Tiff")))
			{
				wstring csName = xml.GetAttribName(0);
				if (csName.length() == 0)
					break;
				wstring str_path_ = xml.GetAttrib(csName);
				string str_path(str_path_.begin(), str_path_.end());
				string headerf =                 str_path.substr(str_path.find_last_of("."), str_path.length());
				pdf.addSection(ch_sec);
				if (stricmp(headerf.c_str(), ".jpg") == 0)        pdf.addImagePage(index_sec, TYPE_JPG, str_path);
				if (stricmp(headerf.c_str(), ".bmp") == 0) pdf.addImagePage(index_sec, TYPE_BMP, str_path);
				if (stricmp(headerf.c_str(), ".tif") == 0) pdf.addImagePage(index_sec, TYPE_TIFF, str_path);
				++index_sec;
			}
			int error = pdf.save(DirDest);
			return error;
		}
		catch (...)
		{
			return -1;
		}
	}

	return 0;

}

What do you mean by 'latin symbols - ? and number code 65533'?
This is unclear (65533 is not a cp1251 character).

What is your project setting for encoding (Unicode or ANSI)?

You should try to print out the strings at each step to see where conversions fail.

1.under debugging in VS2012 code for latin symbol screen ?- 65533 after return method getattrib()
2. My project settings for encoding Unicode.
3. Conversions fail after xml.GetAttribName(0);

Please use the Reply button upon answering. Then an notification email is send. Otherwise I have to come back like now and see if anything has happened.

1. The code 65533 is the Unicode replacement character which is used when an unknown character comes in. So it would be helpful which character is on the input side (XML file). The code of 'latin symbol screen' would be helpful.

2. This makes it more clear to understand the code (CMarkup uses Unicode).

3. There is off cource no equivalent ANSI character for the Unicode replacement character 65533 / U+FFFD. So the Unicode to ANSI conversion places a character that is defined by the used conversion routine.

O, thank you, i don't know about the button Reply.
1. This is pathes from XML:
"C:\Users\ibusygin\Desktop\Tiff\render - копия.JPG"
"C:\Users\ibusygin\Desktop\Tiff\render - копия (2).JPG"
"C:\Users\ibusygin\Desktop\Tiff\01.tif"

But what is the content of the tag? I see two empty lines here but expect some kind of file name.
[EDIT]
Now I see the content.

It seems that the cyrillic letters can't be converted. Would be good to have the character codes of them (use a hex editor or a text editor that can show hex content to get the codes). But I always thought that all characters from the common code pages can be mapped to Unicode.

Besides my other comment you should also check if the encoding definition on top of your XML file is correct (encoding="windows-1251").

Have you read the CMarkup documentation? Maybe the answer can be found there: http://www.firstobject.com/convert-ansi-file-to-unicode.htm and http://www.firstobject.com/dn_markansifile.htm.

I read. My code is works, when i use xml encoding UTF-8, but I can't to change encoding file to the editor, because a lot of them all encoded "windows-1251"

Member 10403735 20-Nov-14 7:23am

This for one path.
XML string: C:\Users\ibusygin\Desktop\Tiff\render - копия.JPG

HEX for string: 433A5C55736572735C69627573796769
6E5C4465736B746F705C546966665C72
656E646572202D20D0BAD0BED0BFD0B8

копия = D0BAD0BED0BFD0B8D18F
This is not CP1251. It is UTF-8!
