If I load a text file via CreateMemblochFromFile with German umlauts, everything works. If I load this however first in a string. Then try to fill the memblock via SetMemblockString. Is there an error message that the memblock is too small.

With this codesnippet you can see this.


I guess it's due to text encoding. These umlauts seem to be read in unicode format or so. Is only a guess.

Load the memblock from file then read what it's size is. That might shed some light.

The problem here is that Len return the number of chars , and not the memory needed for the string.

See memblock in screenshot using SetMemblockString:

Both commands works correct , so guess a new command is needed to get "memory needed to store string" ?

Not sure if you can always count 2 bytes if ascii >= 128 , if your going to do your own new StringMemoryUsed command





best regards Preben Eriksen,

This is exactly what I have found. Have it checked also with the hex editor.
What also confirms my first guess (I think? :-| ).
It's also with other char's that lie above the 127 mark. (²³ · ect.).
But I do not like a workaround of this problem.
So the suggestion is maybe a command like this.
size(String)
Or a good string encoding to ASCII, UTF-8 or so.

Thanks, I've added the command ByteLen to the next version to return the length of a string in bytes.
