Thank you for great works, Lutz.



I finished translating manual of v.10.2.18 into Japanese.

By the Way, according to the manual,

explode also works on binary content:

And,

When called in UTF-8–enabled versions of newLISP, explode will work on character boundaries rather than byte boundaries.

At example,

Code Select Expand


newLISP v.10.2.18 on Win32 IPv4/6 UTF-8, execute 'newlisp -h' for more info.

> (explode "00010203")
("")
>

Is it another reason ? or specification ?

Also, current version is same in UTF-8–enabled newLISP.

Maybe, it is no problem, because explode could not use for binary content in UTF-8–enabled newLISP.

Thanks Johu, the manual description was wrong, only non-UTF8 newLISP can split binary contents (containing 0 characters). On UTF8 versions processing stops at binary 0's. The 'unpack' function can be used for UTF8 versions to split into bytes:

Code Select Expand

set 'str "01020304") ;=> "01020304"

(unpack (dup "c" (length str)) str) ;=> (1 2 3 4)
(unpack (dup "s" (length str)) str) ;=> ("01" "02" "03" "04")


This code would works on both versions of newLISP.



I have changed the the description of 'explode' in the 10.2.18 manual:



http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/newlisp_manual.html#explode">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/develo ... ml#explode">http://www.newlisp.org/downloads/development/newlisp_manual.html#explode





ps: Your translations are online.

Thank you, Lutz.



I am glad to see that binary contents are operated in UTF8-enabled newLISP.
