DATA BEING SAVED AS CHINESE - NON ENGLISH - PLEASE HELP

[genetrader]

I have a scraper that worked previously and now is saving data as what appears to be Chinese.

I am running a series starting with a GET REQUEST then all REGEX... the data, when I debug it in step by step, is displayed properly on the screen but is saving the file incorrectly...??

Any ideas on how to fix this? Another scraper script is working fine and saving fine - its only this one.

The encoding on the GET request is standard utf8 and the as i said the data is being brought in correctly, its just not writing correctly to the file.

Thanks,

Gene

What encoding has output file?
Is it created by ZP or manually?

I created a blank txt file that zp writes to.

Previously it didn't have this problem. Additionally, other scripts using same write file command work fine.

Thanks for any advice you can give me. I changed file names but that didn't fix it...

How do I check how files encoded?

You can check it in NotePad++

I'm curious what should be written to the file and how you real results look like.

It appears to be a bug.... when I unchecked append to file and forced It to write a new result to the file every loop the results were in English. When I rechecked the append to file box it started saving in English again.

Very weird...
