It is if they had kept of the old 9-bit bytes (characters) from DEC-10 days. In those days you also had a real ctrl-key which set the 9th bit. :-)<br><br>Robert<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 13/02/2008, <b class="gmail_sendername">Alex Arnon</b> <<a href="mailto:alex.arnon@gmail.com">alex.arnon@gmail.com</a>> wrote:</span><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
My guess would be that 332 is not a valid value for a byte :)<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">2008/2/12 Dustin Whitney <<a href="mailto:dustin.whitney@gmail.com" target="_blank" onclick="return top.js.OpenExtLink(window,event,this)">dustin.whitney@gmail.com</a>>:<br>

Yeah, that worked thanks! I had tried what you did, but it did not
work with the UTF-32 data. Do you know why? And how do you suppose my
data was turned into UTF-32. I got the data originally from an HTTP
GET request that returned a UTF-8 encoded XML file. The file its self
says it's UTF-8, and the header tuple said the document was using the
UTF-8 charset. Does Erlang convert the data automatically?<div>
