Help! IniWrite writing wrong character

[oapjr]

Hi! I'm having problem with IniWrite function

The problem is that if the returned string from _FileListToArrayRec contain something like "3D-graphics1440x900" the string that is written on the ini file is "3D-graphics1440?900".

Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Edit:

I know that if I rename the folder the functions work properly

#include <File.au3>

Local $iReturn
Local $sPath, $sFile
Local $aList

$sPath = @UserProfileDir & '\Pictures'
$iReturn = $FLTAR_FILES + $FLTAR_NOHIDDEN + $FLTAR_NOSYSTEM + $FLTAR_NOLINK
$aList = _FileListToArrayRec($sPath, "*jpg;*.png||", $iReturn, $FLTAR_RECUR, $FLTAR_NOSORT, $FLTAR_FULLPATH)
$sFile = $aList[Random(1, $aList[0], 1)]
IniWrite('test.ini','test','test',$sFile)

No point in writing "something like", give some exact examples.

Is your inifile set to ansi?

Is your language US?

Etc...

[oapjr]

My language is US and I didn't setup the inifile

The exact example is that "3D-graphics1440x900" was written as "3D-graphics1440?900"

Where does that ini file come from, and could it be the case that that x is not a default letter x (plain old Ascii char 120) but some unicode character representing a mathematical multiplication symbol that just looks like an x? 

[TheSaint]

I believe, that what SadBunny says is correct. Your x is not a standard ASCII x, and is being substituted by a ? (question mark).

You need to code your own replacement.

It is possibly the extended ASCII character 215.

See the Appendix in the Help file.

I'd put my money on unicode character u02715, like in: 10✕10=100.

I google the "х" from 1440х900 and I got this on Wikipedia:

 

Character Х х Unicode name CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER HA CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER HA Encodings decimal hex decimal hex Unicode 1061 U+0425 1093 U+0445 UTF-8 208 165 D0 A5 209 133 D1 85 Numeric character reference Х Х х х KOI8-R and KOI8-U 232 E8 200 C8 Code page 855 182 B6 181 B5 Code page 866 149 95 229 E5 Windows-1251 213 D5 245 F5 ISO-8859-5 197 C5 229 E5 Macintosh Cyrillic 149 95 245 F5

ps: the file contain a bunch of wallpaper I downloaded on the internet and the ini I created on autoit

By design, INI files are not Unicode aware. You can make your INI file able to save Unicode characters by doing a FileOpen using a Unicode file write mode, and then use FileClose to close it. Do this before using the INI file for the first time. See the Help file for IniWrite.
