non-ASCII stuff in manuf

I noticed this weekend that there's a bunch of non-ASCII characters in the manuf file. Of course this doesn't present well in the GUI (or in tshark output). I found 2 easy options to fix it: 1) use encode(): ~~~ sub shorten { my $origmanuf = shift; $origmanuf = encode("ascii", $origmanuf); ~~~ This replaces non-ASCII chars with question marks. It's better than what we have now, but not great. 2) use Text:Unidecode(): ~~~ sub shorten { my $origmanuf = shift; $origmanuf = unidecode($origmanuf); ~~~ This does a more intelligent conversion. Gerald, does your system (that automatically updates manuf) have Text:Unidecode? If not, can it be installed? ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: http://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
