I'm working on a widget where the user can drag&drop files from the
finder to the widget. The widget is doing something with this given
path in widget.system() - but I've a problem with special characters.
A "ß" in a file name is %C3%9F in the widget and I need a other
"translation" for widget.system(). Can anybody tell me how do deal
with this problem? Is there a function to "translate" this?
A little test:
file name on the desktop:
ü - ö - ä - ß - ! - " - § - $ - % - & - / - ( - ) - = - ? - ´ - `
alert from the widget:
file://localhost/Users/dirkeinecke/Desktop/u%CC%88%20-%20o%CC%88%20-%
20a%CC%88%20-%20%C3%9F%20-%20!%20-%20%22%20-%20%C2%A7%20-%20$%20-%20%
25%20-%20&%20-%20:%20-%20(%20-%20)%20-%20=%20-%20%3F%20-%20%C2%B4%20-%
20%60/
that what I need for widget.system():
u\314\210\ -\ o\314\210\ -\ a\314\210\ -\ \303\237\ -\ \!\ -\ \"\ -\
\302\247\ -\ \$\ -\ %\ -\ \&\ -\ \:\ -\ \(\ -\ \)\ -\ \=\ -\ \?\ -\
\302\264\ -\ \`
I strip the first part I do not need with this line:
uri = uri.replace(/file:\/\/localhost/,'');
I "translate" space character with this line:
uri = uri.replace(/%20/g,'\\ ');
Yes - it is possible to replace all special character - but is this
the best solution?
greetings
