Nikos,
I have encountered the following anomaly in log files we use. sometimes characters are 'transformed' into graphical symbols.
I checked with other editors and it seems to be somthing which has to do with the much praised RTF control you use for Editor2
In Wordpad (also uses RTF control) the same feature manifests itself. In other editors (vim, word, notepad) the phenomenon doesn't occur.
Is this something you can fix or do we have to live with it???
I'll try to send you a file which has the weird character in it via pm.

Weird characters in plain text files
Dumb questions are the ones that are never asked
No, simple ascii characters. Not always the same characters which get deformed, but always plain ascii ones (we don't use many exotic chars in our log files)nikos wrote:are these OEM characters?
Check your mail, you should find several mail items from me. The last one sent is the right one. The rest can be archived (time to go home; I'll break more than I can fix today I'm afraid

got the file
i see what you mean & it doesn't make any sense
the richedit control is converting from UTF-8 but the same sequence of characters gets converted correctly most of the time, but incorrectly some of the time. Not my fault!
On the positive side, when I convert the text on my own, there are no flaws. In the near future there will be an upgrade for ed2 which will allow direct manipulation and saving of UTF8, OEM, etc, so some of these ills will be cured
