[Solved] Fileopen problem

[goldenix]

Hi

Hire is the thing.

I want to lock a file. The problem is that, the name of the file is in russian and or japanese. And it returns -1 error when i try to open it. Is there a way around this? like convert file name into binary or something?

$fileopen = FileOpen(ППППППППП.txt, 0)
ProcessWaitClose('upn.exe')
FileClose($fileopen)

How do you even run that without quotation marks around th efilename?

[goldenix]

its a typo.

hire:

$fileopen = FileOpen('ППППППППП.txt', 0) 
ProcessWaitClose('upn.exe') 
FileClose($fileopen)

To be able to type the full Unicode character range in litterals, you need to have your source file in "UTF-8 with BOM" encoding. If you use ANSI (your user codepage), you only have access to the restricted part that your codepage defines.

If you use Scite, open your source, then menu File > Encoding > UTF-8 with BOM, make any change to your source (e.g. insert space then remove space) then save it. From now on, your file will use UTF-8 Unicode encoding and you can compose any Unicode character of your choice, even if the font you use is unable to display it.

Try doing that with this example:

Local $str[10] = [ _
 "Sant Julià de Lòria", _
 "Skrýchov u Opařan", _
 "Žíšov", _
 "БОЛЬШОЕ ГРИДИНО", _
 "МЫТИЩИ-ДТИ", _
 "歴史的仮名遣", _
 "変体仮名", _
 " فرنسيّ عربيّ", _
 "सभी मनुष्यों को गौरव और अधिकारों के मामले में जन्मजात स्वतन्त्रता और समानता प्राप्त है। उन्हें बुद्धि और अन्तरात्मा की देन है और परस्पर उन्हें भाईचारे के भाव से बर्ताव करना चाहिये।", _
 "เขาจะได้ไปเที่ยวเมืองลาว" _
]

Again, only rare fonts will be able to display all of this correctly, but the characters are indeed there even if the glyphs are lacking.

Also don't forget that ConsoleWrite will only display ANSI (user codepage) unless special tricks are used. Ask again if you need more information.

I need to lock a file.

But I get error when I try to use Fileopen() cuz the name of the file is not in english.

my *.au3 file is already in UTF

Is there any other way to lock a file?

The only way to lock a file is to have it open in a process. That's how all programs do it.

Sry for asking, but what im supposed to o with this code? what is it for?

Global $oObject 
$oObject.Wtf("is this?")

@MvGulik - It seems that im getting C:\?????.dat instead of the correct name of the file after I drop it into gui. thanx for help.

I confirm and sure other can vouch for that too, that it's possible to FileOpen() any UTF-8 filename with the current version.

Do you have rights to access this machine / volume / directory / file ?

Now there is still a possibility that "invisible" issues make such operation impossible without peep-hole scrutiny. Read this carefully.

Programmers have their share of obfuscation thru normalization (or lack of it) here.

Edit:

I see your answer right after posting. Nice to see your problem was elsewhere. Follow the link anyway, it could prove useful some day.

BTW, the "code" is a joke, don't pay more attention.

That code is part of my signature. trancexx posted it and I found it amusing.
