Title: ANSI to UTF and back
Question: Sometimes we need to change our ansi text to utf, i searched the internet for a long time until i found some code. I have no idea who the author is, but whoever it is I think he wouldn't mind to find the code here.
Answer:
{ Function to convert text from UTF8 to ANSI and
from ANSI to UTF8
Author unknown
}
function Utf8ToAnsi(x: string): ansistring;
{ Function that recieves UTF8 string and converts
to ansi string }
var
i: integer;
b1, b2: byte;
begin
Result := x;
i := 1;
while i if (ord(Result[i]) and $80) 0 then begin
b1 := ord(Result[i]);
b2 := ord(Result[i + 1]);
if (b1 and $F0) $C0 then
Result[i] := #128
else begin
Result[i] := Chr((b1 shl 6) or (b2 and $3F));
Delete(Result, i + 1, 1);
end;
end;
inc(i);
end;
end;
function AnsiToUtf8(x: ansistring): string;
{ Function that recieves ansi string and converts
to UTF8 string }
var
i: integer;
b1, b2: byte;
begin
Result := x;
for i := Length(Result) downto 1 do
if Result[i] = #127 then begin
b1 := $C0 or (ord(Result[i]) shr 6);
b2 := $80 or (ord(Result[i]) and $3F);
Result[i] := chr(b1);
Insert(chr(b2), Result, i + 1);
end;
end;
