If someone comes by the same problem as me (converting string to 8-bit ascii codes), here is the solution: - String s="ÇüéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅÉæÆôöòûùÿÖÜ";
-
byte ascii[]=s.getBytes("Cp437");
Cp437 can be replaced by IBM437, but not by Windows-1252, Latin1, US-ASCII (this is 7-bit ascii) and ISO-8859-1.
My problem was that I was trying to use "ISO-8859-1" (being nice standards-compliant guy), "ISO_8859_1 ", "8859_1" and such, instead going immediately for the code page 437 (DOS-US, OEM-DOS).
I hope this will help someone.

I guess it all hinges on how one defines "extended ASCII".

Hello
I've browsed the FAQ but apparently it lacks any questions concenring wide
character strings. I'd like to calculate the length of a multibyte string
without converting the whole string.
Zygmunt
PS: The whole multibyte string vs wide character string concept is broken
IMHO since it allows wchar_t not to be large enough to contain a full
character (rendering both types virtually the same). What's the point of

I have not been able to find a simple, straight forward Unicode to ASCII
string conversion function in VB.Net.
Is that because such a function does not exists or do I overlook it?
I found Encoding.Convert, but that needs byte arrays.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a char* string where I assigned a string literal with the British
pound symbol, which is included in the extended ASCII, at least on my OS.
However, when I cout the string, I get a modified u in place of the pound
symbol. Why is that? If I output the ASCII code of the pound symbol it
outputs just fine--but not when in a char*.

Hi,
I'm a beginner is using C# and .net.
I have big legacy files that stores various values (ints, bytes, strings) and want to read them into
a C# programme so that I can store them in a database. The files are written by a late 1980's PC
Pascal programme, for which I don't have the source code. I've managed to reverse engineer the file
format.
The strings are stored as Ascii in the file, with the first byte indicating the string...

I have a file that contains ASCII and Extended ASCII characters.
I need to get the file contents into a string, but the Extended ASCII
characters (dec 128 and 129) are being changed to dec 63.
I have tried several methods, but here is the one I thought would have
worked.

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.
Here is my compilation command:

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
