[DUG] FindFirstFileW and UNC paths

[Ross Levis]

This one was resolved, sort of.  The function is working correctly.  The path being sent to the function had a folder with a + character in it. Well it should have, but the + character had been replaced with a space character.

 

The path is coming from a PHP script on a web server sending to my app via Indy10 TCPServer.  Something is causing the + character to be replaced, either in the PHP script or Indy.  Some more investigation required.

I’m having a problem getting this function to work with UNC paths.

 

var Name: WideString;

…

Handle := FindFirstFileW(PWideChar(Name), FindData);

 

I’ve tried \\?\computer\share\folder\* <file:///\\%3f\computer\share\folder\*>   and \\?\UNC\computer\ <file:///\\%3f\UNC\computer\> ... which I’ve seen while investigating but that doesn’t work either.  It works fine for drive letters.

 

This is part of a WideFileExists function I’m using in D7.  I have another question where I need to detect if the path is UNC and if so, remove the first “\”.  I’m not sure what D7 does with the copy function.  Can I do

Name := WideString(‘\\?’)+copy(Name,2,MaxWord)  ?

 

Cheers,

Ross.

Just convert it to US-ASCII, all diacritics will be normalized (and other characters like japanese will turn to “?”).

 

procedure TFrameScript.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject);

var sw : string;

    sr : RawByteString;

begin

    sw := 'swe:ÀÁÂÃÄÅ - jap:日本 - ger:üöä';

    sr := sw;

    SetCodePage(sr, 20127, true);

    BitBtn1.caption := sr;

end;

Anyone know if there is a windows function or method to convert diacritic characters to their similar ASCII counterpart, such as all of these get translated to “A”: ÀÁÂÃÄÅ

 

Cheers.
