Arabic text?

[Johnny]

Hello all,

I am writing an app that needs to be able to save and open texts that are in Arabic as well as English... Do I just need to save as unicode?

I tried this

fileopen ($filename, 128))

filewrite ($filename,$encryptedtext)

Anywho, any ideas?

The current version of AutoIt is Unicode capable, and does not need the mode option for read. You should only have to select a mode when opening the file for write. If the read and write are to the same file then:

1. Just FileRead() without opening first, then FileOpen() with appropriate mode for FileWrite().

2. Or FileOpen()/FileRead()/FileClose() without a specified mode, then FileOpen() with appropriate mode for FileWrite().

Another option, since you imply encryption, is to just use binary modes and ignore the text encoding.

Thank you for your help I am making this for Christians in the middle east... I had to present this to a guy I work with, and realized while I was showing it to him that I forgot to check if Arabic would work... I hadn't compiled it in the beta for some reason that I can't remember...

I am still lost...

I just tried this,

$encryptedtext = _StringEncrypt(1,(Guictrlread ( $textwindow)),$inputpass,$inputlevel) 

                fileopen ($filename, 130)
                filewrite ($filename,$encryptedtext)

                FileClose ($filename)
                WinSetTitle("AFC Encrypto","", "AFC Encrypto " & $filename)
                $saved = "yes"

All arabic characters are returned as question marks still... It doesn't shut the program off, as it did when I first tried putting arabic in.

I am working on this via wine, i don't think that makes a difference though...

I don't have the Arabic language pack loaded, so I can't test your exact situation. But try this:

$encryptedtext = RC4($inputpass, GUICtrlRead($textwindow))
$hFile = FileOpen($filename, 16 + 2)
FileWrite($hFile, $encryptedtext)
FileClose($hFile)

$readtext = FileRead($filename)
$decryptedtext = RC4($inputpass, $readtext)
MsgBox(64, "Test", $readtext)

Note that your use of FileOpen was wrong, because you did not save and use the file handle after opening it.

In addition, this uses binary mode for the file open, vice UTF-8.

This uses SkinnyWhiteGuy's AutoIt translation of a straight binary RC4() encryption. There are other encryption schemes available if you search a bit.
