HTML decoding

Gert_Van_Assche · February 2, 2019, 5:20pm

Hi All,

I have a text like

&Mu;&omicron;&upsilon; ?&rho;&epsilon;&sigma;&epsilon; &eta; &epsilon;&nu;&alpha;&lambda;&lambda;&alpha;&gamma;? &mu;&epsilon;&tau;&alpha;&xi;? &pi;&alpha;&rho;?&nu;&tau;&omicron;&sigmaf; &kappa;&alpha;&iota; &pi;&alpha;&rho;&epsilon;&lambda;&theta;?&nu;&tau;&omicron;&sigmaf;

and I need to convert it to

??? ????? ? ???????? ?????? ???????? ??? ???????????

How do I do this in Xojo?

Looked everywhere but I don’t find it. I’m probably overlooking what’s obvious…

thanks

Gert

This is from the Filemaker plugin, but the Xojo plugin has the same function: https://www.mbsplugins.eu/TextDecodeFromHTML.shtml

Here is it for Xojo: DecodingFromHTMLMBS in MBS Xojo Util Plugin.

Was hoping to do this without plugins, but so be it…
Thank you both for replying.

you can make a many replaceall method with all possible characters.
it’s quite heavy to do it, but so without any plugin.
and then you have it on hand.

Thanks Jean-Yves, I’ll do this indeed.

some 26 replaceall calls, times 2 for the uppercases
