function  

jis.reader

 
 

Library: JIS (OMFFJIS)
Import: omffjis.xmd
Return type: String source

Returns: A scannable input source for streaming data


Declaration

export external string source function reader
                  from value string source input-data


Purpose

Use reader to read a value string source, its argument, and return the text of that file converted from a JIS encoding to a UTF-8 encoding. That is, the provided source is in JIS, but the program sees UTF-8.

Usage Note

To use reader, you must import omffjis.xmd into your program using a statement like this:

  import "omffjis.xmd" prefixed by jis.

(Please see the import topic for more on importing.)

Example


  ; Submit the JIS-encoded file named by the first command-line
  ; argument to the program's find  rules, converting from JIS
  ; to UTF-8 prior to the  find  rules seeing the data:
  import "omffjis.xmd" prefixed by jis.
  process
     submit jis.reader from file #args [1]
