Can't find unicode strings

Post by thanos »

Hello.
I faced a strange problem.
The editor can not find in a Find/Replace action any text in unicode mode.
In Ansi mode everything is okay.
Due to my native language (Greek) the unicode mode in programs is critical.
What is wrong?
Regards

Do you use UTF8 text encoding ?

I tested the editor in 6 different computers.
Each of them has different operating system, language etc. and i faced the same problem in all of them.

In version 4.5 I can search and find Greek characters but only in the file format is encoding as Plain Text.
If it is encoding as UTF-8 I can't search Greek characters
Any idea?

I can confirm this when testing with the string "Ἀναξίμανδρος".

my IDE cannot display the first letter of that word (the 'find' dialog's input field can't display unicode at all apparently). my browser can display the word correctly with encoding set to utf-8.

The IDE itself isn't unicode, that's planned to migrate it somewhen, but it's not high priority.

Or it was just some greek characters?

Not personally, no. :wink:

I knew his name transcribed into English and looked up the greek spelling on Wikipedia.
