[comp.os.msdos.programmer] How to handle double byte character searching?

kim@syacus.acus.oz (Kim Chong) (10/02/90)

Does anyone know any reference that covered issues on Double Bytes
character searching (i.e. Chinese, Japanese, or Other Languages that require
two bytes representation instead of single byte as in the case of ASCII
character set) ?

How does one mark a region of the double bytes character set so that some
pattern matching can take place (for searchong) ?

Is there any fast display mechanism that one can retrieve a set of double
bytes data and display them in the PC screen ?  The working environment is
either Window 3.0 or PC graphic screen.

Please reply if anyone knows any of the above.

Thanks
Kim Chong
