in thread Reversing Arabic String direction

Like I said, I took a brute-force approach. I'm not surprised at all (and expected) that a better, cleaner way would be apparent to one such as yourself. :)

The code I provided will produce "21_eman" when given "name_21" as input. I think yours does the same (but I didn't test yours.) I have no idea what the correct way of dealing with that is.

You must always remember that the primary goal is to drain the swamp even when you are hip-deep in alligators.

    Arabic is right to left but numbers are written with the lowest digit first, thats why they are the same again (double reversed if you want)

    I suppose someone didn't know and encoded it wrong.

    update

    see example
