[opencms-dev] Problems with labels in workplace_ru.properties

[Christian Steinert]

Hi

I thought, I just send you the code that I am using to munge a property 
file after loading it.

I had my own property file loader anyway which loads property files 
directly from the VFS so for me it was no big deal to filter the 
property file contents before invoking the Property class based on that 
data.

    @SuppressWarnings(value = { "all" })
    public static final byte[] native2ascii(byte[] src) throws 
CmsException {
        try {
            String s = new String(src, 
SiteContext.getDefaultSystemEncoding());

            StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder((int) (1.25 * s.length()));

            for (int i = 0; i < s.length(); i++) {
                char c = s.charAt(i);

                if ((int) c <= 127) {
                    sb.append(c);
                } else {
                    sb.append("\\u");
                    if ((int) c <= 255)
                        sb.append("00");
                    else if ((int) c <= 4095)
                        sb.append("0");
                    sb.append(Integer.toHexString((int) c));
                }
            }

            return sb.toString().getBytes(
                    SiteContext.getDefaultSystemEncoding());
        } catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
            throw new BaCmsException("", e);
        }
    }
