utf8 -> ascii in c language??

[chunhui_true]

i have a class, it can read one line(\r\n ended) from string,when i
read line from utf8 string i can't get any thing!
maybe i should conversion utf8 to ascii??there is any function can
conversion utf8 to ascii? very thanks to your help!!

There is no such thing as a "class" in C. Perhaps you are looking for
comp.lang.c++ down the hall.

Note that both C and C++ are case sensitive languages, so you had
better learn how to use the shift key on your keyboard.

There is no such thing as "ascii". There is ASCII, named for the
American Code for Information Interchange. But neither C nor C++
define or require any specific character set, neither ASCII nor UTF8
nor any other.

So most likely comp.lang.c++ won't want your question either. You
need a group that supports your particular compiler/operating system
combination, but since you posted through Google I have no information
on which to suggest one to you.

And you need to learn how to use your shift key. And the space bar.

I would recommend writing the bytes of each string out as a number and
as a text value so that you can see them. You might find that this is a
case where it isn't as difficult as it seems.

Thanks for your suggestion.My English is very poor.And I first use
groups, So I don't konw the culture in groups.Though the time I think I
can communicate with each other very well.

There is no such thing as a "class" in C.

But there is such a thing in object oriented programming.

There is no such thing as "ascii". There is ASCII, named for the
American Code for Information Interchange. But neither C nor C++
define or require any specific character set, neither ASCII nor
UTF8 nor any other.

More importantly, ASCII characters remain unchanged under UTF8,
so the question is likely ill-formed to begin with.

Nonetheless, it's certainly possible to convert UTF8 sequences back
to their original character codes in C. However, there is no specific
standard function for this purpose alone.

The standard(?) mbtowc could be doing that; well, it could convert
utf8 which is a multibyte format to unicode, which is a wide character
format, and the first 128 values of unicode is identical to US-ASCII.

Does ASCII characters remain unchanged under UTF8????Since it
unchanged,Why I can't printf thme in screen?
I use libcap get the FTP commands from Ethernet.I have one class to
get all packages and flowed,buffered them,Then aonther class can
readline (ended with \r\n)from buffer.Every time I readline from buffer
to get a command.
When I use CuteFTP I can get all commands an printf them in
screen.But when I use IE to FTP I can see one command "set utf8 on" and
then next commands I can't printf them in screen.Should I conver utf8
to ASCII?

They certainly do. Latin1 characters, however, don't, except for the
ASCII subset. Also, the unicode and ASCII have the same code values
for the ASCII subset of unicode.

See the description of UTF-8 in for example rfc-2044:

| Abstract
|
| The Unicode Standard, version 1.1, and ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 jointly
| define a 16 bit character set which encompasses most of the world's
| writing systems. 16-bit characters, however, are not compatible with
| many current applications and protocols, and this has led to the
| development of a few so-called UCS transformation formats (UTF), each
| with different characteristics. UTF-8, the object of this memo, has
| the characteristic of preserving the full US-ASCII range: US-ASCII
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| characters are encoded in one octet having the usual US-ASCII value,
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| and any octet with such a value can only be an US-ASCII character.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| This provides compatibility with file systems, parsers and other
| software that rely on US-ASCII values but are transparent to other
| values.

It means my programme wich parser the old ASCII FTP commands also can
parser the UTF8 commands??But why I can't readline from buffer when it
"set utf8 on"?

Do you have a question on the ISO C language?

Comp.lang.c is the wrong forum for (repeatedly) asking questions
about utf8 and ftp commands.

Try comp.programming (say) instead, or a platform specific newsgroup
that caters for your current development tools. Also note that you
are much more likely to get useful responses by posting sample code
that exhibits the problems you're having.

Because readline is not transparent to character codes 0x80 - 0xFF? You'd
have to examine the source; lots of older of program used the 'fact' that
characters where only seven bits and used the extra bit as a flag.

Sorry I'm a newer in groups. What topic does this forum discuss??
