Jos 1,978 Posted March 1, 2015 and still is created in utf8 encode. What are you writing to the file? How do you determine it's encoding eand what is the encoding exactly.. UTF8 with or without BOM?

Jos i writing simple text to the file when i open the txt file in notepad++ i see that file is utf8 WO BOM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shai 0 Posted March 1, 2015 FileWrite("FileName.txt","ANSI Content") its also create file on utf8 WO BOM Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jos 1,978 Posted March 1, 2015 i writing simple text to the file when i open the txt file in notepad++ i see that file is utf8 WO BOM So it is a regular file and Notead++ opens it as UTF8 without bom... the new SciTE will do the same to support multibyte chaacters by default. What is the simply text you write? Does it contain multi-byte characters? Show some code you use to create the file.

shai 0 Posted March 1, 2015 even if i try this code: FileWrite("c:\FileName.txt","ANSI Content") the FileName.txt file is in utf8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jos 1,978 Posted March 1, 2015 No it is not.... it is both ansi and utf8 without BOM as there are no special characters in there to indicate either one.

VIP 48 Posted November 22, 2017 INI files by design are not Unicode compatible. There are workarounds to get them to be able to utilize Unicode characters, but it's non-standard to use them with Unicode characters. So what you need to do is encode your section, key and value strings in UTF-8 and store that as if it was ANSI. That can't make the standard function behave strangely UNLESS you share this ini file with application not aware that sections, keys and values actually are UTF-8. Note that the ini file is itself an ANSI file (no UTF-8 BOM). jchd: Here's the secret sauce behind the hood: Local $sText = "中國 한국어 ไทย" Local $sUTF8 = BinaryToString(StringToBinary($sText, 4), 1) IniWrite("my.ini", "test", "key", $sUTF8) Local $sRaw = IniRead("my.ini", "test", "key", "I'm not there") Local $sValue = BinaryToString(StringToBinary($sRaw, 1), 4) MsgBox(0, "Round-trip check", $sValue) Regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Velislav 3 Posted November 7, 2019 Hi! I know this topic is a bit old, but after I tried almost everything and nothing didn't work out for me I feel obligated to share with you the answer i found working perfect for me. The trick is to create a txt file with ANSI encoding and store it somewhere. Then whenever you want to create an ANSI encoding file just copy the txt file with the ANSI encoding where you want to have a txt ansi encoding file and then just write lines in it and there you go You are all set! MsgBox("","",FileGetEncoding("D:\.....template ANSI file path.....\UTD62_2019_ansi.txt")) FileCopy("D:\.....template ANSI file path.....\UTD62_2019_ansi.txt","D:\.....where you want ansi file path.....\UTD62_2019_304_ansi.txt") sleep(1000) MsgBox("","",FileGetEncoding("D:\.....where you want ansi file path.....\UTD62_2019_304_ansi.txt")) I hope this will help Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
