I noticed in the docs that the pattern parameter to inPattern is specified as an array of chars, not an array of dchars. I realise that one can easily be converted to the other, but it leaves me wondering ... does inPattern() work with non-ASCII characters? Can I, for example, specify "\u0100-\u0200" as a range and expect it to work? Also, it's not clear how to match a minus sign.

String constants are also UTF8/16/32, and putting non-utf data into them will not compile. So it is a bit more than convention. To answer the original question: Yes, inPattern works with non-ASCII characters. -- OskarOn Mon, 22 Oct 2007 10:22:48 +0100 "Janice Caron" <caron800 googlemail.com> wrote:I think char[] is just an array of char.
