ANSI Coding doesn't work

[4bst1n3nz]

Hello,

i need to save files with ANSI-Encoding. Since 3.3.14.2 Auto-It it doesn't work in any direction.

I tried the following:

#include <FileConstants.au3>

FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\Test.txt")
$o = FileOpen(@ScriptDir&"\Test.txt", BitOR($FO_BINARY,$FO_ANSI,$FO_OVERWRITE))
FileWrite($o, "Test")
FileClose($o)

Or

#include <FileConstants.au3>

FileDelete(@ScriptDir&"\Test.txt")
$o = FileOpen(@ScriptDir&"\Test.txt", 514)
FileWrite($o, "Test")
FileClose($o)

Both create UTF-8 encoded files.

What am i doing wrong?

Thank you!

Remove $FO_BINARY from the first code and both work as expected.

I tried this too. Still got UTF-8 without BOM...

No. Thefile newly created in pure ANSI.

Maybe you open it with a text editor which defaults to UTF8 w/o BOM, but if you really check the file content with any hex editor, you'll see that your belief is wrong.

I attached you the au3-File, the generated exe-File and the result test.txt.

My Text-Editor is Notepad++. When i create the test.txt with autoit 3.3.8.1, Notepad++ shows the correct ANSI-Encoding of the textfile.

Once again, the test file in your zip is pure ANSI. Can't you just once try to open it with a hex editor?

Thank you.

It was a problem with notepad++, it didn't recognize the encoding.

Not exactly: since pure ASCII in the range [00, 7F] can't be discriminated from UTF8 w/o BOM a smart editor will automagically switch to UTF8 w/o BOM and tell you so, so that you can enter whatever Unicode character you want without issue.

Unicode is now 25 years old and should be the norm everywhere anytime.
