cdeb 3 Posted January 12 Share Posted January 12 (edited) Hi, I am having problems with some text strings taken from some html pages. for example in the html there is this portion of text "...sacchi da kg. 25. gyproc..." but it returns an error with the API call I make. If I paste the string into the editor I notice that the character '2' is no longer there and instead the control character "DC2" appears (see image below). I discovered by pasting the text into the editor that the problem is a character in the string, exactly the '2' that the editor shows me as DC2 (device control 2), see image below. I tried with a loop to check each character by checking AscW and Unicode and indeed the character '2' of 'kg. 25' disappears, replaced precisely by DC2. ----- $aWords[1]: [s] [AscW:115] Unicode code: U+000073 ----- $aWords[2]: [a] [AscW:97] Unicode code: U+000061 ----- $aWords[3]: [c] [AscW:99] Unicode code: U+000063 ----- $aWords[4]: [c] [AscW:99] Unicode code: U+000063 ----- $aWords[5]: [h] [AscW:104] Unicode code: U+000068 ----- $aWords[6]: [i] [AscW:105] Unicode code: U+000069 ----- $aWords[7]: [ ] [AscW:32] Unicode code: U+000020 ----- $aWords[8]: [d] [AscW:100] Unicode code: U+000064 ----- $aWords[9]: [a] [AscW:97] Unicode code: U+000061 ----- $aWords[10]: [ ] [AscW:32] Unicode code: U+000020 ----- $aWords[11]: [k] [AscW:107] Unicode code: U+00006B ----- $aWords[12]: [g] [AscW:103] Unicode code: U+000067 ----- $aWords[13]: [.] [AscW:46] Unicode code: U+00002E ----- $aWords[14]: [ ] [AscW:32] Unicode code: U+000020 ----- $aWords[15]: [�] [AscW:18] Unicode code: U+000012 <--------------- ----- $aWords[16]: [5] [AscW:53] Unicode code: U+000035 ----- $aWords[17]: [.] [AscW:46] Unicode code: U+00002E ----- $aWords[18]: [ ] [AscW:32] Unicode code: U+000020 ----- $aWords[19]: [g] [AscW:103] Unicode code: U+000067 ----- $aWords[20]: [y] [AscW:121] Unicode code: U+000079 ----- $aWords[21]: [p] [AscW:112] Unicode code: U+000070 ----- $aWords[22]: [r] [AscW:114] Unicode code: U+000072 ----- $aWords[23]: [o] [AscW:111] Unicode code: U+00006F ----- $aWords[24]: [c] [AscW:99] Unicode code: U+000063 How is this possible? what happens to the two? and how is this problem solved? This is an example , the problem also happens with other characters. Edited January 12 by cdeb Link to post Share on other sites

ioa747 35 Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 at some point it happens to me too and I just replaced them. try it if it works for you ;---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Func CharReplace($String) ; Replace %xx escapes Local $iPosition, $iChar, $NewString $NewString = $String While 1 $iPosition = StringInStr($NewString, "%") If $iPosition > 0 Then $iChar = StringMid($NewString, $iPosition + 1, 2) ConsoleWrite(" -- %" & $iChar & "=" & Chr(Dec($iChar))) $NewString = StringReplace($NewString, "%" & $iChar, Chr(Dec($iChar))) Else ExitLoop EndIf WEnd ConsoleWrite("" & @CRLF) $NewString = StringReplace($NewString, "�", "-") Return $NewString EndFunc ;==>CharReplace ;------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Link to post Share on other sites
