Hello everyone... This may sound really stupid, but it is something I have
been working on all day and haven't found a solution yet.
If you go into Notepad and try the keystroke ALT+4, you get a nice little
diamond. Infact, you can do this all the way up to 127 showing different
characters including those similar with the ASCII table for letters and
numbers.
"Oh," I thought, "this could be the simple way for very simple encoding of
our log files." We are looking for an efficient way of encoding log files in
real time. Doing simple subtractions and additions on the character value to
offset them would be confusing for most novices to figure out upon
inspections of the log file (we are not looking for anything ultra secure
here).
But when I run my program and it starts logging the file, I get nice little
boxes instead of the images. Even in debug mode those characters (var =
"☺";) will turn to boxes as well before even going out to the file.
I tried using the System.Text.Enc oding stuff, but I get confused while
working with it.... perhaps this is not the correct thing to use.
Does anyone know how I can preserve those characters and put them to a log
file? Or is there a simpler way to encode my log file in real time? (
Rijndael and
TripleDES algs make our log files way to large).
Thank you all for reading this.

comments, like Jon Skeet's, that notepad does not correctly display some of
the characters
although their ASCII value is really kept.
I think that in the future I may use the 64 bit encryption as suggested by
Rob Schieber.
I think everything is working at the moment, so thank you all for your
input. :-)
Just to make it clearer if you need more help later: Rob Schieber
didn't suggest 64 bit encryption; he suggested base64 encoding. They're
somewhat different things :)

Recently I was editing a document in GoLive 6. I like GoLive because it has some nice
features such as:
* rewrite source code
* check syntax
* global search & replace (through several files at once)
* regular expression search & replace.
Normally my documents are encoded with the ISO setting.

Hi,
I've known C/C++ for years, but only ever used ascii strings. I have a
client who wants to know how gcc handles unicode. I've found the functions
utf8_mbtowc, utf8_mbstowcs, utf8_wctomb and utf8_wcstombs, but I'm
wondering if there are any other libraries or functions which can do things
like handle different kinds of encodings?
Thanks

I'm looking for some .net example code on encryption: I don't want anything fancy, no complex third party components with sophisticated algorithms, explanations of principle, or "public/private key" confusion (which seems to be all google can come up with) - I just want a SIMPLE example of how I can encrypt a string and then get back the SAME STRING.

I have not been able to find a simple, straight forward Unicode to ASCII

Is that because such a function does not exists or do I overlook it?
I found Encoding.Convert, but that needs byte arrays.

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.
