VAN0 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 Just curious, what's the reasoning behind not supporting Unicode in ConsoleWrite? Spoiler For SciTe output we can use this trick: Func _ConsoleWrite($txt) ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($txt, 4), 1)) EndFunc But that seems to me unnecessary hoops we have to jump through...

jchd Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I guess it's for historic reasons. BTW, I use my function CW() instead, which works in compiled programs as well: Func CW($s = "") If @Compiled Then _CUI_ConsoleWrite($s) Else _ConsoleWrite($s) EndIf EndFunc ;==>CW Func _CUI_ConsoleWrite(ByRef $s) Local Static $hDll = DllOpen("kernel32.dll") Local Static $hCon = __CUI_ConsoleInit($hDll) DllCall($hDll, "bool", "WriteConsoleW", "handle", $hCon, "wstr", $s & @LF, "dword", StringLen($s) + 1, "dword*", 0, "ptr", 0) Return EndFunc ;==>_CUI_ConsoleWrite ; internal use only Func __CUI_ConsoleInit(ByRef $hDll) DllCall($hDll, "bool", "AllocConsole") Return DllCall($hDll, "handle", "GetStdHandle", "int", -11)[0] EndFunc ;==>__CUI_ConsoleInit ; Unicode-aware ConsoleWrite Func _ConsoleWrite(ByRef $s) ConsoleWrite(BinaryToString(StringToBinary($s & @LF, 4), 1)) EndFunc ;==>_ConsoleWrite VAN0, pixelsearch, Musashi and 1 other 2 2 This wonderful site allows debugging and testing regular expressions (many flavors available).

Skysnake Posted May 23, 2022 Share Posted May 23, 2022 (edited) @jchd How would I get AutoIt to display this? https://www.htmlsymbols.xyz/unicode/U+2705 ;$s = BinaryToString(StringToBinary(0x2705, $SB_UTF8), $SB_UTF8) CW($s) ;Writes 9989 ; the HTML value Please?

Skysnake Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 OK, so my console writes this >Running:(3.3.14.5):C:\Program Files (x86)\AutoIt3\autoit3.exe "C:\AutoIt\unicode\write_unicode.au3" --> Press Ctrl+Alt+Break to Restart or Ctrl+Break to Stop ✅ +>08:45:57 AutoIt3.exe ended.rc:0 +>08:45:57 AutoIt3Wrapper Finished. >Exit code: 0 Time: 1.032 Now I am guessing that the console output and file EXE may display different results... So (a) should I change the Console output? Or should I just test with display (like in msgbox) My Msgbox displays 0 MsgBox(0,"Unicode",CW($s)) Skysnake Why is the snake in the sky?

jchd Posted May 24, 2022 Share Posted May 24, 2022 (edited) To display Unicode in the Scite console you need to switch it to UTF8 and select a Unicode-aware display font. I recommend DéjàVu Sans Mono: it's very unambiguous and covers a fair part of Unicode. No available font covers all of Unicode!
