How to convert ANSI string to UTF-8?

[Seeker]

Hi.

I need to send UTF-8 encoded XML. But AutoIT sends XML in ANSI because data is

in the first place ANSI.

How do I convert this XML-data (string) to UTF-8?

#Include <WinAPI.au3>

_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte($pUnicode[, $iCodePage = 0])

$pUnicode Pointer to a byte array structure containing Unicode text to be converted

$iCodePage Code page to use in performing the conversion:

$CP_ACP - The current system Windows ANSI code page

$CP_MACCP - The current system Macintosh code page

$CP_OEMCP - The current system OEM code page

$CP_SYMBOL - Symbol code page

$CP_THREAD_ACP - The Windows ANSI code page for the current thread

$CP_UTF7 - UTF-7

$CP_UTF8 - UTF-8

example:

send(_WinAPI_WideCharToMultiByte($mystring,$CP_UTF8))

Easier way:

$String = BinaryToString(StringToBinary($String), 4)

Add Global Const $CP_UTF8 = 65001 to the top of the Script.

Nice example Ramzes.
