Strange outpug from debug?

[highend]

Hi,

something's very odd atm...

PureBasic v6.21 x64 (IDE), Compiler: v6.04 LTS x64

Code:

Code: Select all

Debug "D:\250807_Analyse_Bereinigung_Pfadlängen_Files.txt"

The .pb file is UTF-8 with BOM.

I get this output:


Why is that?

[infratec]

It does exactly what it should.
It prints the string which you added behind.

What does you expect?

[highend]

No it doesn't

The string to output contains "ä" but the output doesn't display an "ä" but an "a" followed by an "n" with some dots above it

[infratec]

My output looks like this:

D:\250807_Analyse_Bereinigung_Pfadlängen_Files.txt

What language is used for the IDE? In my case it is german.

And in settings, what is your font for the debug window? I use consolas west

Is your file in UTF-8 format ? You can check in Menu File -> File Format -> UTF8

My IDE is set to english and the (custom) font used for the debug window is Consolas (which never had issues to display german special chars). Changing it to Segoe UI doesn't change the weird display of that string.

Yes it is. Encoding: Utf8

What's the output if you open a new code window and put this debug line inside, without anything else?
(That's what I did)

[highend]

Still the same output

[infratec]

That's very strange, because here it works correct.

Forget the following...

In reality, the path is in a variable isn't it?

Use

Code: Select all

ShowMemoryViewer(@path$, StringByteLength(path$))

[Fred]

Tried here with consolas as well and it works as expected. Strange issue for sure !

[infratec]

Or please try that:

Code: Select all

path$ = "D:\250807_Analyse_Bereinigung_Pfadlängen_Files.txt"
Debug path$

ShowMemoryViewer(@path$, StringByteLength(path$))

61 00 64 00 6C 00 E4 00 6E 00 67 00 65 00 6E 00 a.d.l.ä.n.g.e.n.

The ä is represented by 00 E4 (E4 00)

[highend]

When I change it to "String View (Unicode)" the output is correct (as well in Hex View)^^

Just a guess: Did you copy the path from somewhere into the clipboard and paste it into the IDE? What happens when you type

Code: Select all

Debug "äöüÄÖÜ"

?

[infratec]

Please use 'Hex' so that the codes of the characters are visible.

The guess is correct...

When I copy your "äöüÄÖÜ" here from the forum into the IDE, the output is correct, when I do the same with the path I posted, it is shown correctly. If i copy it out of the my editor (Sublime Text) or from the file manager, it's not correct...
