convertFromString
convertFromString ( aString : string , charSetString : string ) : blob
convertFromString ( aString : string , charSetInt : integer ) : blob
| Parameter | Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| aString | string | -> | string expressed in current character set |
| charSetString | string | -> | Name of character set |
| charSetInt | integer | -> | Number of character set |
| Result | blob | <- | blob containing converted string |
Description
The convertFromString command can be used to convert a string expressed in the current character set to a string expressed in another character set.
In the aString parameter, pass the text to be converted. This text is expressed in the current character set (Unicode by default).
In charSetString or charSetInt, pass the character set to be used for the conversion. You can pass a string containing the standard name of the set (for example "ISO-8859-1" or "UTF-8"), or its MIBEnum identifier.

Several rows have the same MIBEnum identifier because a character set can have more than one name (alias).
For more information about the names of character sets, please refer to the following address: http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets
After execution of the command, the converted text will be returned in the convertedBLOB blob. This blob can be read by the convertToString command.
