Internal unique numeric id of file members, subprojects ?

[amatei]

Hi there,

For example I have a project with 2 file members named "fileéè.txt" "fileàâç.txt"  using accented characters in their file names.

Is there available some kind of  internal unique numeric id for these two file members ?

The CLI console doesn't display well names with accented characters,  I see question marks ???? instead of the real characters, but the Java API is fine in this regard.

Therefore I am thinking to match the "altered" file member names received from CLI with the correct names received by using the Java API,

based on a common internal unique numeric id that these members might have.

You might also consider playing around with the chcp windows command (code page handling)

before you use cli commands.

eg:

  chcp 1252

  si print

Maybe you can find the right codepage for your needs

Hi Klaus

Your solution is good because all file members must be representable in character set windows-1252

And surprisingly it seems to work in another situation too, when enumerating the members of a project (which can be subprojects too, not just file members)

And for subproject names I see that it is allowed to use characters from other code pages than 1252, for example I can choose characters from windows 1250 too.

For example this is a valid subproject name: t:/SomeProject/RegionalțĂȚ/project.pj

(see the attached file screen captures)

So this command works too, I can correctly read the accented characters of the subproject names

chcp 1250

si viewproject --hostname=SomeHost --port=101 --project="t:/SomeProject/project.pj" --norecurse  >members.txt

Thanks !
