> How can I convert from Pharo's encoding to Pier's one?
Pier has no encoding on its own. Encoding depends on what Seaside
server adaptor you are using.
WAKomEncoded:
I'm using this one. And the strings coming from Pier looks ok. And so the strings I enter manually (e.g. in Workspace) in Pharo do. But they (Pier's and Pharo's ones) are in different encodings actually and can not be compared. I think I have to convert Pharo's strings to Pier's encoding (I know the terms are not correct enough but I hope you'll get the idea)... For example, if I have Doctor instances entered using Pier, I want to find one with a particular name:
Doctor allInstances select: [:each | each title = 'some russian here' ] --- this never will work as actual titles are encoded differently than 'some russian here'... So I guess I have to use ('some russian here' convertToEncoding: 'the correct encoding') or something like that... But I don't know what exactly. I found decision in some earlier versions of Pharo/Pier combination... but it doesn't work anymore...
