Hi guys, today i was creating a single file with a single property on it and got this strange behavior:
1. Opened notepad.exe 2. Wrote this line: html.src.img.procura=imagens/botProcurar.gif 3. Saved the file: html.properties 4. Opened html.properties and 'voilą'... the characters were shown as black rectangles (!!!) The curious thing is that if I open the file with MSWord or WordPad it show the line correctly, if I open with some Hex editor it shows the hex code and the correct line value, but in other editors like notepad and textpad it shows the black rectangles. This only occurs when the file is 44 bytes long. Java reads the file normally. Maybe something to do with character encoding?! but does notepad handle character encodings?? Does anyone here knows whats going on? Henrique Viecili
