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,

import std.c.windows.windows;
extern(Windows) BOOL SetConsoleOutputCP(UINT);
SetConsoleOutputCP(65001);

Otherwise you might be interested in using the WinAPI library from dsource which has that function prototype and many others: http://www.dsource.org/projects/bindings/wiki/WindowsApi

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

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

Thanks anyway.

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

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?

My utility library has a console I/O module that converts to/from the console codepage under Windows:

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.
