<SOLVED> Compiling with ASCII symbols.

[shanet]

Hi forums,

A few hours ago, I asked in SCITE editor, and the answer that worked (also the only one there), is to change the editors encoding to UTF8. That all worked like a charm, however now I want to compile the software, and want to know how I would keep my ASCII symbols? (See the other thread)

Is there an option to compile under UTF8 encoding?

Thanks,

shanet

The UTF8 file should compile fine.

Do you have a example that you are trying and which is failing?

By the way, you talk about ASCII symbols but I guess you mean UNICODE characters or else you would not have to change to UTF8.

shanet,

If I want various symbols in my script, I use this sort of coding trick which compiles without problem:

; Create buttons
Global $hPlay_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton(";", 10, 45, 55, 45)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 15, 400, 0, "Webdings") ; ";" = Pause, "4" = Play
Global $hReplay_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("7", 75, 45, 35, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Webdings") ; "7" = <<
Global $hNew_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton(":", 75, 70, 35, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Webdings") ; ":" = >>|
Global $hDetails_Show_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("5", 115, 45, 35, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Webdings") ; "5" = ^, "6" = v
Global $hMenu_Show_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("Menu", 115, 70, 35, 20)
Global $hVol_Show_Button = GUICtrlCreateButton("X", 155, 70, 35, 20)
GUICtrlSetFont(-1, 10, 400, 0, "Webdings") ; "X" = Spkr

That way you get the corect glyph when you compile. You do have to remember which glyph is represented by which character - but there are easy ways to get around that if required.

Does that help?

Hold up... I figured it out. In the end, it was not able to work in unicode, therefore changing the script :|

Here is what I changed:

#EndRegion ;**** Directives created by AutoIt3Wrapper_GUI ****
;#AutoIt3Wrapper_AU3Check_Parameters=-d -w 1 -w 2 -w 3 -w 4 -w 5 -w 6       Commented this line out then moved it out of the wrapper

It decided to be picky about what was in the wrapper region so I moved the commented line out and it worked like a beauty!

Thanks for your help,
