I am creating a client using C#, Visual Studio 2010 and Zoom.net to get data from a Z39.50 server but I am getting an unreadable response.
I noticed that the response contains numbers like this response but the content of every line is in some places unreadable. I guess the problem is only for words that are written in language other than English and the result for these specific words comes to numbers or strange symbols. Here is a file with the byte array response.
This screenshot is a response to my client.
Here is my code:
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
try
{
using (var con = new Connection("url", port))
{
con.DatabaseName = "<name here>";
con.Syntax = Zoom.Net.RecordSyntax.GRS1;
var query = "@attr 1=21 @attr 2=3 @attr 3=3 @attr 4=2 " +
"@attr 5=100 @attr 6=1 \"John\"";
var results = con.Search(q);
for (uint i = 0; i < results.Size; i++)
{
string temp = Encoding.UTF8.GetString(results[i].Content);
}
}
}
catch(Exception exc)
{
Console.WriteLine(exc.Message);
Console.Read();
}
}
}
The problem solved whed I used the custom class below for greek characters utf8 encoding.
