It appears that the return value is being converted and stored in hexidecimal because initial character returned is outside of the standard ASCII character range.

Use BinaryToString()

But why you use firefox UDF?

you can do this using IE too.

#include <IE.au3>

Local $oIE = _IECreate("http://www.baidu.com/",0,0)
Local $sText = _IEBodyReadText($oIE)
MsgBox(0, "Body Text", $sText)

Definitely untrue at any rate.

@OP,

Check which encoding option works for you. I'm not sure but the binary string you posted "smells" like BIG5 or another 8-bit multibyte encoding (not UTF-8 for sure). You may have to convert the string to UTF-16 (what AutoIt uses) but that depends on your use case and user settings.

Thank you all !

I am a newer fo Autoit .i just use autoit develop on firefox ,so i must to use Firefox not IE.

The all functon in FF.au3 is not work well when the web has chinese text,

[Danp2]

@jchd,

Care to elaborate about which part was incorrect? Was it my misuse of hexidecimal? Or what?

@sleep365,

You can achieve part of your goal by only returning a portion of the text.

Local $sRetVal = _FFCmd(".documentElement.textContent.slice(10,3000);", 10000)
If Not @error And $sRetVal <> "_FFCmd_Err" Then
$sRetVal = __FFFilterString($sRetVal, 8)

MsgBox(0,"",$sRetVal)
EndIf

@DanP2

Where did you get that _FFReadText ever returned a binary string iff the first character was > 127?

Where do you see in the binary shown that the first character (0x22) is outside ASCII range (i.e. > 127)?

[Danp2]

@jchd

Actually, I was referring to characters in the lower range (below 32). I don't have much experience with DBCS or multi-byte encoding. I made my initial observation based upon my findings of using Putty to connect to Mozrepl and executing the commands manually.

If you replace the call to _FFReadText with the code I posted earlier today, you will see that the returned string is no longer in the form of a binary string, which leads me to believe that one of the initial characters is causing the issue.

Drear Danp2:

I use you code like that ,the code is well now,but the chinese txt not show very well.

why not in _FFReadtext? ,How can i change the _FFReadtext Function?

you can right click the mouse to view the web source,and make compare with the $sRetVal ,you will see that chinese text not show very well.

Thank you to give me the guide.

#include <FF.au3>
Local $wait_seconds = 3
Local $sss
If _FFConnect() Then
_FFOpenURL('http://www.baidu.com/')
$sss=_FFReadtext(8)
MsgBox(0,"",$sss)
Local $sRetVal = _FFCmd(".documentElement.textContent.slice(10,3000);", 10000)
If Not @error And $sRetVal <> "_FFCmd_Err" Then
$sRetVal = __FFFilterString($sRetVal, 8)
MsgBox(0,"",$sRetVal)
EndIf
EndIf
Exit

_FFReadText does the following:

• Retrieves the text with a call to FFCmd
• Filters the result with a call to __FFFilterString

Essentially, you are using a modified version of _FFReadText when you execute this code, which uses slice() to only return a portion of the string. You can modify this as needed to fit your needs.

You are on your own when it comes to dealing with the Chinese text.

[sleep365]

i used the new version of FF with "0.6.0.1b-8"

Thank you very much! I' will try it later.

I have exactly the same problem, how did you solve it?

I need to read a website from Firefox, but if the site has some foreign characters like "č", "đ", or "ö", "ü", they are not displayed correctly.

My autoit script uses UTF8 wit boom encoding, and i am using the FF.au3 include, but it doesnt work.

Here is an example that doesnt work:

#include <FF.au3>


_FFStart("www.wetter.de","", 2)

$text = _FFReadtext()


MsgBox(4096,"",$text)

Any help how to get the foreing lagnuages characters to display corrrectly? (Characters like "č", "Ć", "ü"..etc)
