[dwf_lou]

but the document name will belcome[????]
Does anyone know how to solve this problem ?
Plz help me . I will vary appreciate.
THANKS

FILE NAME


DB NAME

This happens because the output encoding is not applied to the PDB name. Will look into this for the next bugfix release. For now, you should use only ASCII characters for the document name.

I did look into this and came to the conclusion that it cannot be fixed because Big5 is a variable-length encoding. The PDB format allows only for a zero-terminated string of 8-bit characters. You cannot fit a variable-length encoding into this.

In short: this cannot be fixed. You should use characters in the Windows-1252 range only.

Ok , I get it .
now I will try to find another way to avoid this problem .
vary thanks for ur discursus .
wish u have a nice day

Does it mean that the file name can not have the same encoding with the content? Say if the output file using the encoding other than Windows-1252, it can not write the correct file name into the PDB file? Under the Windows explorer, it display correctly while I open the pgb with UltraEdit, it shows in "????"

I can successfully change the file name using FileZ.

Hi Laurens:

If the DB name does not allow Big5 encoding, how can I change the DB name in plucker to Chinese correctly? The problem is werid.

And, as I know Big5 is a fixed-length encoding. Every Chinese characters composed by two bytes. So, what do you mean "varialbe-length" encoding? I am a little bit confused here ...

I just guess, in Microsoft Traditional Chinese Windows XP/2000, use "big5" as default locale. When sunrise running, sunrise will also convert the "document name" again ....

For example:

"XXYY" is the document name, and is encoded by big5. My channel config as following:

Input: UTF-8 (or others)
OutPut: Big5

So, when sunrise build the pdb file, it will convert the "XXYY" from utf-8 to big5 again and set it to document name..... that's why the document name is "??"

And actaully "XXYY"'s encoding here is big5, not utf-8.

Forget about this. My guess is wrong.

I just try to sync a site with big5 encoding, So, the

The input encoding is: Big5
Output is big5 too ...

And, I still get ???
