The OCR/text feature indeed returns a unicode string. This does not make problems with String operations (as you can see with your solution).
The only known problem comes up with the print statement, wich throws this error message, if the string contains non-ascii. There is a SikuliX uprint() function instead, that can be used in such cases. It accepts comma separated parameters ** Changed in: sikuli Status: New => Confirmed ** Changed in: sikuli Milestone: None => 2.0.5 ** Changed in: sikuli Assignee: (unassigned) => RaiMan (raimund-hocke) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Sikuli Drivers, which is subscribed to Sikuli. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1891848 Title: Jython scripting: UnicodeEncodeError with OCR --- not a bug, it's a feature Status in Sikuli: Confirmed Bug description: Hi! I am using Sikulix 2.0.4 on Windows 10 64bit, JAVA 11. Sometimes when doing OCR with Reg.text(), following error occurs with the resulting string: [error] UnicodeEncodeError ( 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\u201a' in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) ) [error] --- Traceback --- error source first my workaround is to use this function to correct the string: def ExtractAlphanumeric(InputString): from string import ascii_letters, digits return "".join([ch for ch in InputString if ch in (ascii_letters + digits +" ()*")]) I still have the feeling, that the error should not occur in first place.
