Trouble with german umlauts

[altweltgeier]

Hi everyone!

Just purchased yesterday and its amazing what you can do with ZP!

I have only one little problem:

If i pull Text from .txt files which have german umlauts (Ä, Ö and so on), it doesnt get it right. In the moment ZP picks up the string from the file, the umlauts are not supported. They show up with funny symbols which occure when you save .txt files in the wrong encoding so i suggest it is a problem with this in ZP.

Did i miss out a section where you can set encoding format?
What would be a workaround, maybe i can export to Visual studio and add some lines to the code?

Thanks for any suggests on this!

mb u must use UTF-8 in your file *.txt

sorry for my Eng.

Thanks for the great tip but of course that was the first thing i did.

but i figured it out:

I just picked the text from the wrong file...
I have to admit, this was a very stupid one...
I pulled the text at two points, one was still from the first attempt. i thought i deleted this step. so in the end i never tried pulling text from utf8 files... :mad:

altweltgeier,
This topic is interesting me.
Did you manage to record with UTF-8 in your file ?

The other question is how to take a line form a file including UTF-8 accentuation.
Because when i parse the line, i have the funny symbols.

If you get a chance,please let me know.
Thanks

As I´m from germany too, I had to deal with the same problems. I found a very useful free tool that allows bulk/batch converting from ANSI to UTF-8.

The express edition is free an does a good job.

Hope that helps.

Thank you for that.
I did convert my source file before to "take a line from the file" from regular expression.
And it work fine.
Perfect!
Cheers

yes, its just that simple. save with utf8 and thats it.
i´ll check out that tool too, interesting for big scale operations.

Thanks for sharing!
