Re: Utf8 strings manipulation

["Tadej Borovšak" <tadeboro gmail com>]

Hello,

what I would do (not necessarily the smartest thing;) is try to
determine what strings I'll be operating on. If I'm operating on
ANSI/iso8859-1 strings, I don't need to use uft8-specialized
functions, since characters from those have the same codes in all
encodings.

That thing out of the way, we can go and convert our string. I would
do it with glib's string manipulation functions like this (example
only):

==== CODE ======
#include <glib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

int
main( int argc, char **argv )
{
    gchar *string = "gtk_source_completion";
    gchar *string_new;
    gchar **parts;
    gchar **parts_bk;

    printf( "%s\n", string );

    parts = g_strsplit( string, "_", -1 );
    parts_bk = parts;

    for( parts; parts; parts++ )
    {
        gchar *tmp;
        tmp = g_utf8_strup( *parts, ( g_utf8_next_char( *parts ) -
*parts ) * sizeof( gchar ) );
        memcpy( *parts, tmp, strlen( tmp ) );
        g_free( tmp );
    }

    string_new = g_strjoinv( NULL, parts_bk );
    g_strfreev( parts_bk );

    printf( "%s\n", string_new );

    return( 0 );
}

==== /CODE =====

Hope it's been helpfull.
