Creating a script to extract info from a Comic's site (page: https://www.comicsbox.it/albo/tex_701 and similars) I find some characters that need to be translated such as ( ” ------> ” .
Please, Is there any function to do it?
Thanks!

new.
chars code looks to be CP895. Could anyone write a procedure to translate (as like from CP1252)?

This is not a character set, it is just HTML entities.
Many are decoded by the HTMLDecode function, this one included.

Very useful to know and some problems are now solved. There are still some chars non translated and I don't know how to do.
If you take a look to https://www.comicsbox.it/albo/tex_704 and you find 'tracce…'

…

you can see some of them.

What do you mean by "not translated"? That one is directly like that in the page, not as HTML entity. Is it wrongly displayed in AMC?

Yes, ... may be there is a problem in my scritp?
Can I send it to you?


EDIT: resolved!

Pagestr := SharedUTF8ToCP1252Decode(Pagestr);
Pagestr := StringReplace(Pagestr, 'â?¦', '...');

It is strange that it was not decoded by UTF8Decode... or you just use your custom decode functions?
