ahoy there,
I am currently attempting to send an ASCII-stream via TCP to WDPro forward to a textbox.
This is all working quite fine and dandy, yet when it comes to extended ASCII, in particular Umlaute (ä,ö,ü), the TCP Input appears scrambled in the respective bytes. Pretty much any value over 128 gets assigned weirdly and/or wrong. The best I could do was to use some "wrong" values (128 for ü, 247 for Ö and 402(!) for Ä) but I could not manage to get an output for Ü,ö,ä and ß, no matter what value I send.
The TCP connection is done from Max/MSP/JAVA via [mxj net.tcp.send] which appears to be behaving properly, when I check the values along the way or when tcping to itself.
Does anyone have an idea and experience where the bug might be / how I can send proper german text to WD? I have 6 simultaneous textfields that need to be updated on the push of a button, line for line from their respective textfiles. I have looked at the textreader, but I could not find a way on how to go to the next line on bang, instead of a predetermined speed. Also, I would rather send the lines from max for ease of asset-managment. Any help would be appreciated. thanks and pardon the trouble.
