Hi,

I noted that toUpper() -function doesn't work well with ���-letters, i.e. all other characters all capitalized but ���-characters remain in lowercase. This can be really problematic since the node doesn't give error and the failure might go unnoticed.

Dear Erno,

Could you please provide more information about the situation in which you are using this function? I have run the attached graph in 4.5.2 and found it to work correctly. Which version of LAE are you using?

Thank you,

Rocco

Thanks,

I tested your graph and it works when data is in unicode format. However, the same example fails when data is imported as string. See the following example:

Dear Erno,

I now understand the situation. From some quick research, you request seems reasonable. I will create a problem report for this issue. It should be fixed in an upcoming maintenance release.

For the time being, I would recommend simply converting your data to Unicode before doing this conversion. Alternately, if there is a pressing reason why that is unfeasible, I could perhaps help provide another alternative.

Hope that helps,

Rocco

Dear Erno,

Sorry if I was unclear, but I meant to say, not that this problem would be solved in this maintenance release, but more that it is in the queue to be fixed in the future. I unfortunately cannot give you a specific date as to when that would happen, but please rest assured that we are tracking the issue and will solve it at a later date.

Luckily, I can give you a very quick workaround that is usable right now. Let's imagine that you had a field named "data" that you wanted to capitalize. Simply use the following code:

data = data.unicode().toUpper().str()

This will correctly capitalize the string and return it in ASCII format. This works with toLower() as well.

Hope that helps,

Rocco
