  • Method and system for mapping strings for comparison
    Publication number: 20050171949
    Abstract: A method and system for mapping a number of characters in a string, wherein the string comprises a combination of characters representing indexed expressions and a combination of characters representing non-indexed expressions. One embodiment produces a weight array that can be utilized to compare a first and second string having indexed and non-indexed expressions. In one embodiment, a method generates a set of special weights for characters that represent indexed and non-indexed expressions. The method then associates a weight value of an indexed expression with the specific group of characters representing a specific non-indexed expression, and generates a weight array by retrieving a plurality of special weights associated with the specific group of characters representing the specific non-indexed expression and the associated weight value of the indexed expression.

  • Resource manifest
    Publication number: 20050108433
    Abstract: An improved application architecture comprises a bifurcated structure having a language neutral portion and a localizable portion, compacted for efficiency into a smaller set of larger files. This bifurcated structure allows for easier distribution and updating of the application, while the reduced set of files provides for more efficient file management. A resource manifest can be specified during the compile stage to identify elements that are language specific and elements that remain language neutral. Furthermore, additional software can be used after compilation for compacting multiple localizable elements into a single file. Such compacting software can receive inputs specifying the language specific resources which are to be compacted into larger files, and the identity of those larger files.

  • Encoding conversion fallback
    Publication number: 20050099324
    Abstract: A system and method for converting a source data sequence to a target encoding is disclosed. A fallback technique, specifiable by a user program component, is applied to data in the source data sequence that cannot be mapped to the target encoding. A particular embodiment involves methods for encoding a Unicode string as a sequence of bytes in a target encoding, and decoded the encoded bytes back to Unicode.
