Converting UniString to string with Hebrew characters doesn’t work

Anonymous
Not applicable
Hello

I am trying to convert a UniString which has Hebrew characters in it (it looks good on debug), to const char or string,.
The UniString with Hebrew characters looks good but the conversion (.toxstr().get()) kills the Hebrew characters (they become jibrish).
That’s a real problem for me.

Please help!

Thanks

I recommend you to use IO::FileSystem::Copy method instead:
#include "FileSystem.hpp"

IO::Location from (uniString1);
IO::Location to (uniString2);
IO::fileSystem.Copy (from, to);
It's easier than converting

Hi,

Why do you want to convert the GS::UniString object to const char* or std::string?
Could you show us please the relevant part of your code?
