LCD Smartie

Before anybody flames me for this to tell me Limbo has a very similar plugin, we couldn't find it and this was written to resolve a very particular problem.

Subst.dll
This plugin is to allow single characters to be substituted with another character. Up to 256 substitutions can be done and these are defined in a configuration file in the plugins folder called Subst.cfg. It has been used to allow the correct display of some Spanish characters. The cfg file looks like:
//
Debug=1
//
//$Chr(225) Instead of this weird symbol it should display á $Chr(157)
//$Chr(233) Instead of this weird symbol it should display é $Chr(150)
//$Chr(237) Instead of this weird symbol it should display í $Chr(163)
//$Chr(243) Instead of this weird symbol it should display ó $Chr(137)
//$Chr(250) Instead of this weird symbol it should display ú $Chr(130)
//$Chr(241) Instead of this weird symbol it should display ñ $Chr(167)
//
In=$E1
Out=$9D
In=$E9
Out=$96
In=$ED
Out=$A3
In=$F3
Out=$89
In=$FA
Out=$82
In=$F1
Out=$A7
In=$D1
Out=$A6

Debug=1 will create a log file in the Logs subdirectory called Subst.log so you can verify that the cfg file has been read correctly.
The substitutions are in pairs of In and Out hex values.
The file needs a blank line at the end or the last value won’t work. The dll is called by:

$dll(Subst,1,text_to_convert,)

e.g: $dll(Subst,1,($Rss(http://www.telam.com.ar/rss2/ultimasnoticias.xml,b,1,)),)

I tried other lcd screens. And seems every vendor do what they want with the ascii code. Nobody follow the proper table. And there are many variations. Some symbols could match, others dont.

So, check if your wrong characters correspond to those ones.

It works good on winstar lcd displays. And all that uses the same ascii table.

If you have another one, try to find the ascii code for your proper characters. I did mostly with trial and error using $Chr(xx) just find the ascii for the wrong character and the ascii for the right character.

@dperrow. I just add some //// to the end of the file. It will prevent the need for a blank space and avoid confusion.

It could have something like ///end of file dont delete
