Re: C0 control characters in ASCII table [77612]

[Steffen]

That would be great, Jan!

There might be a little difficulty in terms of automatically generated tables
because the order of the control characters in EBCDIC varies from any other
encodings. Depending on what possibilities you have to generate the tables it
could be necessary to handle EBCDIC separately :-/

C0 control characters in ASCII table [77610]

[Steffen]

tl;dr: Please re-establish the support of
[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C0_and_C1_control_codes]C0 control
characters[/url] in the ASCII table.


If I recall correctly, until version 4 we had the possibility to select
characters with lower value than 0x20 (space) in the ASCII table. That's been
quite handy for the following reasons:

- I prefer to have spaces for code indentation. For that reason my configuration
of the tab-key behavior is to write 2 spaces instead of a tab character. This
makes it kind of impossible to write a tab character in text without the
opportunity to select a tab (0x09) in the ASCII table.

- Command-line interface (such like the Windows 10 console host and Virtual
Terminal emulators) support Virtual Terminal sequences (a.k.a. ANSI escape
sequences). They do usually begin with an ESC (0x1b) character. Also other low
order ASCII characters like BEL (0x07) are frequently used. As to my
understanding, PSPad does not provide any possibility to get and insert such
characters anymore.

Thanks!

Re: MSDOS Character Set [71152]

[Steffen]

Jan

The character code for ß is 0xDF (223) in Windows 1252 (default ANSI in
Germany) and 0xE1 (225) in CP 850 (default OEM in Germany). So if you found 225
for ß then the file is OEM-encoded.

If I'd open such a file then the characters show up incorrectly because it opens
in the ANSI default. But as soon as I check the hook in menu View->Show OEM
chars then everything is perfectly readable. But that still doesn't solve the
OP's issue...


@idefix2

You have to change your default encoding first. In a German menu:
Einstellungen->Programm einstellen->Dateien und Verzeichnisse->Standard-Code
Page für Dateiöffnung->(im Dropdownmenü) OEM default (1)
After clicking on OK, close PSPad and then open your file again. This is what
works for me and with this setting you don't have any problems to write German
umlauts and ß.
The drawback is that you have to reverse this setting as soon as you want to
open an ANSI-encoded file ;-)

The fact that you can only copy one hex digit is something new (and maybe a bug)
in version 5. In version 4 you were able to copy all marked hex digits. I
already thought about to mention that, too.
But I didn't want to confuse things in the first place because my actual
question was if you would be able to copy the textual expression (marked
characters in the picture) from the right side instead of the hex digits on the
left side. And yes, I also thought that Jan would have been able to answer that

That's what I suggest along with my tool:

Some rules of thumb when to add or omit BOMs:
- Add the BOM to text files that are intended to be read in text editors on
Windows.
- Omit the BOM in markup text (such as HTML or XML) where the encoding is
specified in the markup or where it defaults to be recognized as UTF-8.
- Omit the BOM for files that are intended to be shared with other operating
systems like Unix or Linux.
- Never use a BOM for text that you append to an existing 
file.

hlk123:

How about using the format UTF-16 
BE

Internally Windows use UTF-16 LE. If you want to use a unicode encoding I
suggest you to use this because BE is only used in some special applications.
Also UTF-8 is a good choice. It's used in websites and *nixoid operating systems
(Unix, Linux, Mac OS, Android). The drawback is that these encodings need more
space (as Jan already said). UTF-16 uses 2 bytes in general and if there are
characters that can't be expressed with 2 bytes it uses surrogate pairs (4
bytes) which may happen for some Chinese characters in your case. UTF-8 uses 1
byte for ASCII and up to 4 bytes depending on what non-ASCII character has to be
expressed.
However, a lot of programs still don't understand unicode. E.g. Windows scripts
must not be encoded in UTF-16 (e.g. Batch) or UTF-8 (e.g. Batch or VBScript)
because the interpreters don't expect it and fail.

hlk123:

dos.tips ... I thought DOS belongs to previous century ... 
:-)

DosTips.com is about Windows Batch. The name is misleading but a lot of people
(including you) call the console window still DOS-Box.
But you're almost right. Batch will die and Powershell is the future.

It really sounds odd to me that the encoding in the status bar is different

in a directory where you have full writing permissions. PSPad doesn't need to be

Fair enough.
Because you already reinstalled PSPad the only data that might have been left
from the old installation could be in your user profile.
Rename folder "%appdata%\PSpad" (usually "C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\PSpad") to e.g. "PSPad_". PSPad will create it new as soon
as you run it. If that doesn't help you can easily roll back to your former

If you're sure you didn't set anything then we should do at least two tests
beforehand. That's because automatic code page detection could be in place in
other editors.

1) Make sure the ANSI code page is set to 1252 on your computer.
- press [Windows]+[R] buttons
- type CMD and click OK
- type WMIC OS GET CODESET in the black cmd window and press Enter
It should output:
CodeSet
1252
Get back with the information whether or not you get the same output.


2) Make sure your text files have the right encoding.

- use the Windows Editor first (press [Windows]+[R] buttons, type NOTEPAD and
click OK)
- type ÄÖÜ (capital letters) in the editor window and choese Datei->Speichern
unter...
- Navigate to your Desktop, give it a name, be sure the Encoding is set to
ANSI.
- Save the file and close the editor window.
- Right-click on the file and choose PSPad HEX to see the written byte values.
It should be C4 D6 DC.
- Open the same file in PSPad text editor mode. You should see ÄÖÜ now.
Again get back with the information whether or not you get the same output.

There is a typo in the code page menue of your linked preliminary version. If
you choose "UTF16LE (1251)" you will save the file using Big Endian byte order
(where CP 1251 actually belongs to). Same for the BE menu item.
