Preference issue?

[DoMi]

(Using PB 4.20 BETA 2)
Hello
When writing in a preference file (son.txt) I got two more lines
with those characters at the beginning (first line): 
and an empty key/value at the end : =

Whereas there's nothing more than the expected lines in the messagerequester used for testing !?

Code: Select all

Procedure.l modifierFichier()
  PreferenceGroup(GetGadgetText(#cbxTypes))
  For i = 0 To CountGadgetItems(#lstFichiers)-1
    MessageRequester("",Left(GetGadgetItemText(#lstFichiers,i,0),1)+" = "+GetGadgetItemText(#lstFichiers,i,1))
    WritePreferenceString(Left(GetGadgetItemText(#lstFichiers,i,0),1),GetGadgetItemText(#lstFichiers,i,1))
  Next
  isModified = 0
  ProcedureReturn 1
EndProcedure

I got the same with or without Unicode for the editor or the program...
Any solution or trick?
Thanks in advance for your replies

No problem here.

In unicode mode the file is written in utf-8 format with a BOM. This BOM probably explains the first line you see - although you shouldn't see this in Ascii mode.

I get no empty key/value pair at the end of the file in any mode! You sure it's not some other part of your code?

many usefull tools with JaPBe but sometimes messy setups...
I came back to the root PureBasic editor and setting the source and compiler to "texte brut" ("plain text") it works now... sorry for the trouble

automatic indent, filelists, reloading source option, are missing otherwise I'd never be "unfaithful" to the original and rude editor

thanks for your fast reply
