**THIS ERROR LOOKS LIKE IT IS A BUG IN UNITY. THE CODE SEEMS TO WORK FINE OUTSIDE OF TABLETOP SIMULATOR (THE GAME I AM MODDING)
I'm marking this as solved but leaving it for the mods to remove if needed, as the code might still be useful to other people googling. **
I'm trying to process a large string of a few lines.. and would like to have all the accented characters it find converted into standard characters. I have some code I got form the net for this but there is a small bug in the code and I do not understand how it works, so need some help on this issue if you are able.
function stripChars(str)
local tableAccents = {}
tableAccents["à"] = "a"
tableAccents["á"] = "a"
tableAccents["â"] = "a"
tableAccents["ã"] = "a"
tableAccents["ä"] = "a"
tableAccents["ç"] = "c"
tableAccents["è"] = "e"
tableAccents["é"] = "e"
tableAccents["ê"] = "e"
tableAccents["ë"] = "e"
tableAccents["ì"] = "i"
tableAccents["í"] = "i"
tableAccents["î"] = "i"
tableAccents["ï"] = "i"
tableAccents["ñ"] = "n"
tableAccents["ò"] = "o"
tableAccents["ó"] = "o"
tableAccents["ô"] = "o"
tableAccents["õ"] = "o"
tableAccents["ö"] = "o"
tableAccents["ù"] = "u"
tableAccents["ú"] = "u"
tableAccents["û"] = "u"
tableAccents["ü"] = "u"
tableAccents["ý"] = "y"
tableAccents["ÿ"] = "y"
tableAccents["À"] = "A"
tableAccents["Á"] = "A"
tableAccents["Â"] = "A"
tableAccents["Ã"] = "A"
tableAccents["Ä"] = "A"
tableAccents["Ç"] = "C"
tableAccents["È"] = "E"
tableAccents["É"] = "E"
tableAccents["Ê"] = "E"
tableAccents["Ë"] = "E"
tableAccents["Ì"] = "I"
tableAccents["Í"] = "I"
tableAccents["Î"] = "I"
tableAccents["Ï"] = "I"
tableAccents["Ñ"] = "N"
tableAccents["Ò"] = "O"
tableAccents["Ó"] = "O"
tableAccents["Ô"] = "O"
tableAccents["Õ"] = "O"
tableAccents["Ö"] = "O"
tableAccents["Ù"] = "U"
tableAccents["Ú"] = "U"
tableAccents["Û"] = "U"
tableAccents["Ü"] = "U"
tableAccents["Ý"] = "Y"
local normalizedString = ''
for strChar in string.gmatch(str, "([%z\1-\127\194-\244][\128-\191]*)") do
if tableAccents[strChar] ~= nil then
normalizedString = normalizedString..tableAccents[strChar]
else
normalizedString = normalizedString..strChar
end
end
return normalizedString
end
This code seems to work really well, but it doesn't work for the u type chars... so...
local test = "ù, ú, û, ü"
print(stripChars(test)) -- Prints (,,,)
test = "à, á, â, ã, ä"
print(stripChars(test)) -- Prints (a, a, a, a, a)
Any ideas?.. I assume it is something to do with the pattern thing.. but I do not see how exactly it works in the 1st place. (see the bottom of the code block under the large table of characters)
