digitalmars.D.learn - Unicode -> Windows 1252

I have a D2 code that writes some stuff to the screen (usually runs in 
cmd.exe pseudo-console). When I print spanish characters they show wrong 
(gibberish symbols and so, wich corresponds to CP-1252 encoding).

Is there a way to convert all outputted streams to CP-1252 without 
having to wrap writeln function (and replacing all its calls)?

TIA,

Tried a bunch of values and all yields the same result.

Thanks anyway.

Forget it, I'll just use chcp...

 You probably already know this, but you can do that programmatically:

 import std.process;
 void main()
 {
      system("chcp 1252");
 }



Yeah. And by the way, SetConsoleOutputCP(65001) worked!

Don't know what I did the first time I tried it.

Another question: is there a way to hook a function or delegate before 
every output of the program, so I can filter the output in some way?

Otherwise you might be interested in using the WinAPI library from

Mmh, the whole winapi just for that seems a little too much. :S

Sorry, 65001 is actually UTF-8 or UTF-7 IIRC. For CP-1252 you'll have
to find the correct value, I guess.

My utility library has a console I/O module that converts to/from the console
codepage 
under Windows:
http://pr.stewartsplace.org.uk/d/sutil/
See if it's useful to you.  I'm not sure whether it works under D2, but it's
probably 
quite straightforward to tweak it so that it does.

Thanks!

I'll give it a try.
