Why do some scripts from version 9 not run in version 11?

Fri, 08 Feb 2013 21:31:28 GMT

I have a very nice pair of functions that run great in version 9, but will only return null value when I run them under version 11? Does anyone have any ideas?

Here are the scripts. They are used in the load script to convert RTF Blobs to Text and I call them as:

LOAD

....

RTF2Text(BLOBTEXT(Blob Field)) as [Text Results]

FUNCTION BLOBTOTEXT(blob)

txt_str = ""

FOR c = 1 to (LEN(blob)-4) step 4

hx = mid(blob,c,2)

dc = CLng("&H" & hx)

tc = Chr(dc)

txt_str = txt_str & tc

BLOBTOTEXT = txt_str

END FUNCTION

Function RTF2Text(input)

Dim out

Dim rtf

Set rtf = CreateObject("RICHTEXT.RichtextCtrl.1")

rtf.TextRTF = input

out = rtf.Text

set rtf = nothing

RTF2Text = out

End Function
