Invalid Substitute issue

[Kaelri]

I just wanted to let you know that I have a partial fix for the "double-encoding" issue here. I say "partial" because it carries the same restriction as the other method: Unicode character sets still cannot be used in Lua scripts, so these new functions will garble any values that contain extended characters.

[Saiho]

Great, thank you for letting me know

If I understand correctly, Greek characters are not affected by this restriction?

[Kaelri]

Unfortunately, no. Basically, only the characters on this page will work reliably in Lua.

[Saiho]

That's where I got the impression Greek would work, I can see pretty much all the Greek characters in that page. I've just tried it with a Greek feed and I think it's mostly working.

[Alex Becherer]

are you sure you tried a greek feed? because the characters on the page aren't greek but cyrillic.

here's a greek feed:

[Saiho]

Quite positive. This is what I've tried:

Code: Select all

[QuasarsParse]
Measure=Plugin
Plugin=WebParser
Url=http://attackofthequasars.com/feed/
RegExp=(?siU)(.*)$
FinishAction=!CommandMeasure MyReader Refresh()
DecodeCharacterReference=1
Substitute="<![CDATA[":"","]]>":""

[MyReader]
Measure=Script
ScriptFile=Reader.lua
MeasureName=QuasarsParse

And the only thing not working exactly as I'd want is it displays +0000 after each date. Your url works just as well.

[Alex Becherer]

both do not work here at all.
i wonder if that has something to do with the system's locale settings.
