getting cyrillic non-utf8 comments by means of export_comments.bml
Hello.
I have a question regarding old non-utf8 comments when
getting them through export_comments.bml.
export_comments.bml call LJ::text_out on comments' subject
and body, which "blots out all non-ASCII chars":
$$rtext =~ s/[\x00\x80-\xff]/\?/g;
So instead of old cyrillic comments one can only get
question marks.
Journal entries (exported by export_do.bml) on the contrary
are correctly converted by LJ::text_convert.
May I ask developers of livejournal to upgrade export_comments.bml
to use LJ::text_convert on comments' subject, body and picture keywords,
so it gives out somewhat correct data for old non-utf8 comments?
Thanks in advance.
