Find files: ignore diacritics with non-English letters

yusef88 · Post by **yusef88** » 06 Dec 2016 17:37

could it work with Arabic letters like windows explorer?

In theory it should work.

Could you post some examples for me (with and without diacritics ) to copy and paste for testing, please?

Thanks for your interest
each letter in each group should be treated as the same character

ا آ أ إ

و ؤ

~~ي ى ئ~~

the other diacritics: they placed above or under the letter and should be ignored as well
(I wrote them in text file in case you can't copy them here)
ًٌٍَُِّْ

I would need the codes (e.g. 0654) of all diacritics on this page:
http://jrgraphix.net/r/Unicode/0600-06FF

I could not find a page with diacritics only (and I don't know Arabic). So could you please compile those codes for me, thanks. Then I can make ignore Arabic diacritics work.

is this format (U+0651) for the code, OK?
http://www.microsoft.com/resources/msdn ... kbda1.html
I will use this page to get the codes easier (contains Arabic keyboard only which I need)

Yes, it's okay.

Arabic diacritics

Code: Select all

U+0651 U+064E U+064B U+064F U+064C U+0650 U+064D U+0652 U+0621 U+007E U+0640

Arabic comma and Arabic semicolon ( if they should be treated as diacritics? )

Code: Select all

U+060C U+061B

Thanks! Beta comes tomorrow.

It seems to work *mostly*.

This character makes problems:
ي

It does not match this one when stripped off the diacritic:
ى

perfect! this is exactly what I was looking for

ى ي

I was wrong about these characters they are different and should not match so I didn't add them to the codes

+ Ignore Diacritics: Now Arabic diacritics are supported. All of them.

Cool!

I will change the change log.

Has XY dropped support for ignoring Arabic diacritics? no longer works for me

Post by **admin** » 04 Sep 2018 18:47

Thanks for the hint, should work again in next beta.

yusef88 · Post by **yusef88** » 13 Nov 2018 13:43

it was fixed but now it no longer working again
thanks

~~True. However, it also stopped working in earlier versions of XY. In version where it worked before. Now this is weird.~~

EDIT: Oh no, tested ى and ي but you said there are different. So: It does work here!
