Oscript Length function comportment

[nicolas46]

Hi !

The livelink I use is : Livelink 9.7.1 UTF8

When i execute this code :

echo ("------------------")
String test1 = "abcde"
String test2 = "àbcdé"
echo (length(test1))
echo (length(test2))
echo ("------------------")

I have this result :
------------------
5
3
------------------

This is weird but i thought this function has just a problem with "accent" (length doesn't count characters with accent...so i tried this code :

echo ("------------------")
String test1 = "abcde abc"
String test2 = "àbcdé abc"
echo (length(test1))
echo (length(test2))
echo ("------------------")

I have this result :
------------------
9
5
------------------

5 ! i was expected 7 (number of non accent character) or better...9.

Any idea on how can i solve this ?

I've had similar issues running UTF8 chars through Builder, seems like the SDK is not UTF8 compliant, does the code run fine under the server ?
