Problem with paths with utf8 characters (solved)
Posted: Fri Nov 29, 2019 09:07 AM

Hi all,

I have a problem with paths with utf8 characters.
In my old version of fivewin the example source below worked,
in the new version does not work.

Code (fw): Select all Collapse

#include "Fivewin.ch"

FUNCTION MAIN()
        LOCAL   cNameF := "C:\Conformità\TEST.PDF"

        MsgStop( FILE( cNameF ) )
        MsgStop( FSIZE( cNameF ) )
RETURN NIL

Can someone help me ?

Thanks in advance
Massimo

Both the functions FILE() and FSIZE() are (x)Harbour functions. Not FWH functions. So, behaviour of these functions should not be different with different versions of Fivewin, but they can be different with different versions of (x)Harbour.

I have tested with FWH1301 and the current version and the results are the same.

Can you please indicate which version of FWH you were getting the correct result? We are interested in testing with that version of FWH and see why the results are different.

Ok,

I think I understood the problem,
perhaps this information could also be useful to others.

My editor saved data in ASCII format,
and with my old version of fivewin it worked.

With the new version the ASCII format sources produce the error.

Saving data in UTF8 format and adding the HB_SETCODEPAGE( "UTF8" ) instruction now works.

thank you for your time

Can you please let us know what is the FWH version it worked? Were you using xHarbour or Harbour?
