is it possible to use autoit from newlisp

[m35]

ok, real question. windows does not Do utf-8?

It depends on what you mean by "do".

The core Windows API will only accept 1-byte-per-character strings that are localized with the current locale, or UTF-16 strings (as far as I know). But the Windows API also provides the MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte functions to convert between other types of strings.

it looks like the string in unicode are all 16bit unicode. how does that mesh with newlisps utf-8 ?

What string are you talking about?

newLISP doesn't really have a way to deal with UTF-16 strings, either in its ANSI version or its UTF-8 version. You have to convert between UTF-16 and either ANSI or UTF-8. You can do this with the win32api, another lib, or find the http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc3629.html">Unicode specifications and roll your own.

sorry it looks like I dropped an S on the words strings in that sentence.  



I am trying to understand what the differences between LPCSTR LPWSTR LPCWSTR.



How Utf-8 relates to it (because there is a utf-8 newlisp)



The desire to do the project that i first had in mind is a lot smaller now, but I would like get a little working knowledge of how to pass and convert to and from unicode.

Here's a link to UTF-8 on Wikipedia:

And to UTF-16
