Thread: bug report about tips

hi!

I am translating tips.txt to Chinese-simplified.
It seems in frmHint.cpp has a bug.

When read multibyte tips file, always display "Failed to convert file ... to Unicode".
It is throwed at line 135 in wxWidgets\src\common\textfile.cpp.

After line 129: const wxString str(buf, conv, bufPos); is executed,
the variable str is empty.

Regards.

What encoding is your file in? Can you send me a copy to test with please?

Thanks, Dave

Encoding is zh_CN.

Thats a language, not an encoding. The encoding might be UTF-8, Ascii,
EUC_CN etc.

Now it  is GB2312

How to convert it?

I believe the iconv utility should do it. Try utf-8 - that should work. If not, I'll investigate further.

:-) It's a joke entry - leave it out if it doesn't make sense in Chinese.
