Re: [wxlua-users] How to make invalid UTF-8 data to appear in wxSTC in Unicode builds?

Hi John,

> I'm no expert in UTF8, but isn't it possible that a malformed UTF8 sequence makes the rest of the file unusable in the sense that you can't really be sure how many bytes the 'bad' sequence is so you could be off by a few bytes for the rest of the file?

Not really, as you can simply skip all invalied 8-bit characters
(which is what I do to "fix" invalid sequences). Scintilla does better
as it can display them as well.

Do we also get To8BitData(), as I may need it to save the data back to a file?

I'll compile and give it a test some time tomorrow... Thank you!

Paul.
