IsTextUnicode
The IsTextUnicode function determines whether a buffer probably contains a form of Unicode
text. The function uses various statistical and deterministic methods to make its
determination, under the control of flags passed via lpi. When the function returns, the results of such tests are reported via lpi. If all specified tests are passed, the function returns TRUE; otherwise, it
returns FALSE.
DWORD IsTextUnicode(
CONST LPVOID lpBuffer,
| // pointer to an input buffer to be examined
| int cb,
| // the size in bytes of the input buffer
| LPINT lpi
| // pointer to flags that condition text examination and receive results
| );
|
|
Parameters
lpBuffer
Pointer to the input buffer to be examined.
cb
Specifies the size, in bytes, of the input buffer pointed to by lpBuffer.
lpi
Pointer to an int that, upon entry to the function, contains a set of flags that specify the
tests to be applied to the input buffer text. Upon exit from the function, that
same int contains a set of bit flags indicating the results of the specified tests: 1
if the contents of the buffer pass a test, 0 for failure. Only flags that are
set upon entry to the function are significant upon exit.
If lpi is NULL, the function uses all available tests to determine whether the data
in the buffer is probably Unicode text.
Here are the constants used with *lpi's bit flags:
Value
| Meaning
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ASCII16
| The text is Unicode, and contains nothing but zero-extended ASCII
values/characters.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_ASCII16
| Same as the preceding, except that the Unicode text is byte-reversed.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_STATISTICS
| The text is probably Unicode, with the determination made by applying
statistical analysis. Absolute certainty is not guaranteed. See the note in the
following Remarks section.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_STATISTICS
| Same as the preceding, except that the probably-Unicode text is byte-reversed.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_CONTROLS
| The text contains Unicode representations of one or more of these non-printing
characters: RETURN, LINEFEED, SPACE, CJK_SPACE, TAB.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_CONTROLS
| Same as the preceding, except that the Unicode characters are byte-reversed.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_BUFFER_TOO_SMALL
| There are too few characters in the buffer for meaningful analysis (fewer than
two bytes).
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_SIGNATURE
| The text contains the Unicode byte-order mark (BOM) 0xFEFF as its first
character.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_SIGNATURE
| The text contains the Unicode byte-reversed byte-order mark (Reverse BOM)
0xFFFE as its first character.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ILLEGAL_CHARS
| The text contains one of these Unicode-illegal characters: embedded Reverse
BOM, UNICODE_NUL, CRLF (packed into one WORD), or 0xFFFF.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ODD_LENGTH
| The number of characters in the string is odd. A string of odd length cannot
(by definition) be Unicode text.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_NULL_BYTES
| The text contains null bytes, which indicate non-ASCII text.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_UNICODE_MASK
| This flag constant is a combination of IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ASCII16,
IS_TEXT_UNICODE_STATISTICS, IS_TEXT_UNICODE_CONTROLS, IS_TEXT_UNICODE_SIGNATURE.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_MASK
| This flag constant is a combination of IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_ASCII16,
IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_STATISTICS, IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_CONTROLS,
IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_SIGNATURE.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_NOT_UNICODE_MASK
| This flag constant is a combination of IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ILLEGAL_CHARS,
IS_TEXT_UNICODE_ODD_LENGTH, and two currently unused bit flags.
| IS_TEXT_UNICODE_NOT_ASCII_MASK
| This flag constant is a combination of IS_TEXT_UNICODE_NULL_BYTES and three
currently unused bit flags.
|
Return Values
The function returns nonzero if the data in the buffer passes the specified
tests.
The function returns zero if the data in the buffer does not pass the
specified tests.
In either case, the int pointed to by lpi contains the results of the specific tests the function applied to make its
determination.
Remarks
As noted in the preceding table of flag constants, the
IS_TEXT_UNICODE_STATISTICS and IS_TEXT_UNICODE_REVERSE_STATISTICS tests use statistical analysis.
These tests are not foolproof. The statistical tests assume certain amounts of
variation between low and high bytes in a string, and some ASCII strings can slip
through. For example, if lpBuffer points to the ASCII string 0x41, 0x0A, 0x0D, 0x1D (A\n\r^Z), the string
passes the IS_TEXT_UNICODE_STATISTICS test, though failure would be preferable.

Nostalgia .Net |
|
.Net is powerful, but not all-powerful, so sometimes we need to use Win32 API for our .Net applications. It's simple enough with Platform Invoke if you have Win32 skill, but we do not always have time to dig the ancient documentation, declare the special types that are compatible with Win32, find the values of the Win32's constants and so on. Nostalgia .Net offers several simple-to-use classes, and components that will allow you to forget about the headache of Win32 and just use the power of Win32 in your application the same way as you use the native. Net classes. More » |
