Converts an ANSI string (Windows) to an OEM string (DOS). Accented characters are different in both standards. The conversion consists in modifying the accented characters.
Reminder:
  • ANSI is the character set used in Windows.
  • OEM is the character set used in DOS (or Windows console).
New in version 2024
Android This function is now available for Android applications.
Example
Res is string
StringToConvert is ANSI string = "Crème brûlée"

Syntax
<Result> = AnsiToOem(<String to convert>)
<Result>: OEM character string
OEM character string.
<String to convert>: ANSI character string

Remarks
  • AnsiToOem does not convert characters with an ASCII code between 0 and 31 (control characters).
  • Caution: Do not use AnsiToOem with a string containing OEM specific characters (accented characters): these characters will be converted and the result will be incorrect.
