[WD19] How to handle Parenthesis symbol in multilingual?

Hi All,

My software run on multilingual.

But in Arabic language the symbol "(" + TheWords + ")" is not place properly.

For example :

STC_Detail = COMBO_CustomerCode + " : " + EDT_Customer + " (" + EDT_Mobile + ")" + CR + "OK"

The result will display
(C001 : Sabyan (0102221234
OK

I want to look normal result like this
C001 : Sabyan (0102221234)
OK

The problem only happens if Language in Arabic. Maybe because the words write from right to left so there are some rules to handle.

I have try many ways but still not success.

Please advise.

Thanks a lot.

Hi Mujahid,

have you tried assigning your "("+..+")" to a unicode string first _AND_ then assigning this string to your STC_Detail ?
You could also try StringBuild ...

HI Mujahid,

did u try the stringbuild function as Steven mentioned?

STC_Detail = StringBuild("%1 : %2 (%3)", COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile) + CR + "OK"

No need for the additions at the end, Stringbuild accept all 'String' functions.

STC_Detail = StringBuild("%1 : %2 (%3)%4OK", COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile,CR)

Hi All,

Thanks for the idea.

My software default setting is UNICODE. So the default character of string is unicode.

I have try on stringbuild but same wrong result.

Then im doing like this :
STC_Detail = StringBuild("(%3) %1 : %2 %4OK",COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile,CR)

and the result is success
C001 : Sabyan (0102221234)
OK


BUT, now i want the result like this
(0102221234) Sabyan : C001
OK


This is still fail. I have test it more than 20 hours.

One of my test, i found that to get the result that i need is using this kind of formula
STC_Detail = StringBuild("%3s) %2 : %1) %4OK",COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile,CR)

And the result like this
(0102221234s) Sabyan : C001
OK


You can look i put "s" before ")", because if before symbol ")" is not alphabet then the result still error.

Too many constraint to handle this.

Maybe this is a bug.

Or someone maybe have an idea.

Thanks a lot.

HI Mujahid,

did u try to build the string with different symbols e.g * instead of ( and then do a replace ?

Hi Mujahid,

maybe the use of Charact(ascii code) function will do the job.

Hi:

In your first example you used " (" with a leading space, but ")" with no trailing space. Can you try using ") "?

Hi All,

Thanks a lot for your idea and help.

So it is success to handle using "&" symbol.

The project setting for Arabic language is From Right To Left.

For English or other standard language im using this coding:
STC_Detail = StringBuild("%1 : %2 " + "(%3) %4OK",COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile,CR)

For Arabic language the coding is :
STC_Details = StringBuild("& %2 : %1" + "&(%3) %4OK",COMBO_CustomerCode,EDT_Customer,EDT_Mobile,CR)

So this handle "()" and space properly. And it's also handle mix language and symbol in single line.
Because not all words is in Arabic.

Thanks again.
