String replace French characters !!

[Alexxander]

hi

i want to stringreplace the fresh characters with the utf code like the following 

$word = StringReplace($word,"â","%C3%A2")
$word = StringReplace($word,"é","%c3%a9")
$word = StringReplace($word,"è","%c3%a8")
$word = StringReplace($word,"ê","%c3%aa")
$word = StringReplace($word,"ë","%c3%ab")

for the upper code every thing is fine and good

when i try other characters like õ ô ó ò scite will show them as question marks like this

$word = StringReplace($word,"?","%c3%b3")

any fix for this or work around ?

You probably need to change the script encoding. Open it in SciTE and go to File > Encoding and click UTF-8. I think that is the one usually recommended. Then make any change to the file so you can save it, and now you should be able to copy your characters without them turning to "?".

You can also work with StringRegExpReplace and the x option (followed by a unicode value).

This seems to work :

$sString = "Les accents vont être remplacés par leur caractère unicode. Par contre, il faut savoir que certains caractères comme ã, õ, ò ou ó ne sont pas utilisés dans la langue française."
$iIndex = 2

$sResult = $sString
For $i = 10 To 15
    If $i >= 13 Then $iIndex = 3
    For $j = 0 To 15
        $sCode = StringLower(Hex($i, 1) & Hex($j, 1))
        $sResult = StringRegExpReplace($sResult, "\x" & $sCode , "%c" & $iIndex & "%" & $scode)
    Next
Next

ConsoleWrite($sResult & @CRLF )

Alexxander,

If you actually need to convert an AutoIt string (which is already Unicode) into UTF8, then you should do that this way:

$s = BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s, 4), 1)

But it is unclear to me if you really want/need to do that. In all cases, switch to UTF8 source encoding as explained above.

You could also look at the functions ASC and CHR in the Help file, and the extended ASCII character set in the Appendix.

i.e. $word = StringReplace($word, Chr(245), "%c3%b3")

AscW, ChrW and using Unicode codepoint values would be much, much safer!  Extended ASCII is codepage-dependant.

thank you all dudes

it ended me changing the system unicode and worked good
