Indentifying Unicode scripts

[Jeff L]

As part of implementing uniscribe, I am looking at breaking down strings 
into their various unicode scripts (ie. numeric, arabic etc).  The first 
step is to identify the scripts in the string.  The simple approach is 
for me to code some ranges and check which script a character belongs 
to.  I am wondering if there is some other method to identify scripts 
that I should use that is wine conformant.

Hi,

In windows the identification of the unicode strings is handled by msvcrt.
I think we should put helper functions so that we can use them in msvcrt.
Which will be inturn used in usp10

my 2cents

Thanks,
VJ

Vijay, do you have some examples on these functions to get me started?

Hi Jeff,

I think the mbcs function in msvcrt can help?
I have worked on that front b4 in wine.
But now I'm forbidden to touch that part.
Check this page http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/3hd1xf60.aspx
I will try to find more info on it.

Thanks,
VJ

Vijay, I think the functions will be useful.  Will keep an eye on them 
to see where thay can be applied.

That's not true. Everything in msvcrt is implemented on top of Win32,
msvcrt is just a wrapper around Win32 APIs.
