jchd Posted May 4, 2012 Share Posted May 4, 2012 (edited) Your input subject uses UTF-8 encoding. AutoIt strings are UTF-16 (well, almost). Use the following functions to convert between both encodings: Func __UTF16toUTF8($sUTF16) Return(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($sUTF16, 4))) EndFunc Func __UTF8toUTF16($sUTF8) Return(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($sUTF8), 4)) EndFunc In your particular case: $text8 = <return from site capture (in UTF-8)> $text = __UTF8toUTF16($text8) $res = StringRegExp($text, <pattern>, ...)
