String - very strange problem (SOLVED)

[Zmylna]

Please help me with very strange problem.

I have a function that return a table from IE.

In this table i have attachment names.

What do this funtion is download the attachment and check that attachment exists on the disk.

Simple i check with fileexist function.

unfortunately, despite the fact that the downloaded file is in the directory, the function returns that it is missing.

Path looks ok, file exists, function return that file not exists 😕

It is interesting that when I enter the path manually it works!

$plik1 = "C:\Users\Zmylna\Downloads\Bez tytułu20200424033430215.jpg"   ;<<<< string returned by my fuction - Not working
$plik2 = "C:\Users\Zmylna\Downloads\Bez tytułu20200424033430215.jpg"   ; string manualy written in scite for test - Working

$A = StringCompare($plik1, $plik2)
MsgBox(0, "", $A)
; Function returns -1

If $plik1 = $plik2 Then
    MsgBox(0, "", "Strings are equal")
Else
    MsgBox(0, "", "Strings are not equal")
EndIf
;If returns "Strings are not equal"

ConsoleWrite($plik1 & @CRLF)
ConsoleWrite($plik2 & @CRLF)

; Console write output:
;C:\Users\Zmylna\Downloads\Bez tytu³u20200424033430215.jpg
;C:\Users\Zmylna\Downloads\Bez tytu³u20200424033430215.jpg

Sorry for my english.

Could you attached the scriptfile itself so we can check the actual characters in the file?

Sure

As I expected, the hex values for both is different.

When we take this part of the filename: Bez tytuÅ
Then the hex for the first line is :     42657A2074797475C5
and the hex for the second line is : 42657AC2A074797475C5

So you see the different hex values in red for the "same character"?

What codepage do you use in SciTE ? To process Unicode characters :

# Unicode
#code.page=65001
code.page=0

code.page=65001 should be activated in the SciTE configuration.

Edit @Zmylna :

You can alternatively add

code.page=65001
output.code.page=65001

to the SciTEUser.properties

Yes i see. I didn't think to check it this way 😕

How to deal with it in an elegant way?

Now i have code.page=0

I will change to 65001 and check if it is ok

-----edit----

Still the same problem with string compare

Only console output looks different

After  "BEZ" you have a white space (0x20) in the first string and an unbreakable space (0xA0) in the second string.

[Zmylna]

$new_string = ""

For $n = 1 To StringLen($plik2)
    $char = StringMid($plik2, $n, 1)
    $char_hex = _StringToHex($char)
    $new_string = $new_string & _HexToString($char_hex)
Next

$plik1 = $new_string

In this way both strings are the same.

Thanx all for your help
