Professor Bernd: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ... _If you load the new file in VBScript_ ...
- ... with WSH functions (fso.OpenTextFile, ...) it is read as ASCII and characters are displayed wrong (ö ä ü ß ...). ... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hi, I somehow thought, the things would be much complicated... just in case (but I do think, it won't be new for You either...), could it be, that OpenTextFile can be made to return unicode? I am not sure, whether it is relevant for this case (VBScript via WSH), but according to: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/office/vba/language/reference/user-interface-he lp/opentextfile-method the "format" argument might do this (if ommited, ASCII is apparently used). """ object.OpenTextFile (filename, [ iomode, [ create, [ format ]]]) ... The format argument can have any of the following settings: SETTINGS Constant Value Description TristateUseDefault -2 Opens the file by using the system default. TristateTrue -1 Opens the file as Unicode. TristateFalse 0 Opens the file as ASCII. """ It seems strange, that the VB functions wouldn't allow for explicitely saving and reading a file using a given encoding, but I don't have much experience in this area. Anyway, if all this doesn't work, probably some extra support for the scripting interface in PSPad would be needed. regards, vbr -- <https://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,74331,74349> PSPad freeware editor https://www.pspad.com
