Unicode text files not recognized ?
Posted: 2003 Sep 23, 12:46
Hello,
I am using 2xEditor v 2.5.0.4 , Unicode version, on a Windows XP pro SP1a. 2xEditor works fine except for some text files that are created in unicode.
When I open these Unicode files, the Unicode text format is not recognized and the file is open as a non-unicode file (ie as an 1 byte coded ascii file).
For example, for the Unicode file containing :
Hello World
instead of opening the text corectly, 2xEditor displays the content like this :
H<00>e<00>l<00>l<00>o<00> <00><W><00>o<00>r<00>l<00>d<00>
I am a network administrator and I often use 2xEditor to open some big text files that are logs generated for diagnostics purpose by the Microsoft
to make technical support (some file are named Userenv.log, Winlogon.log, etc.. on Windows 2000, Win XP or Win 2003 server)
These OS are natively Unicode so their diagnostic files are also Unicode text files.
If I open these files with the built-in NOTEPAD.EXE, the content looks fine but with 2xEditor (or some others text editors ) I always have the bad result.
Can you tell me how to do to read these files correctly in 2xEditor ?
(without having to save them in "pure unicode" format and reopen them)
OR
Is it possible to have a new feature in the next version of 2xeditor that adds a new menu item for that ? This item will allow to switch in a "Unicode Display Mode" ( that skips one byte (the <00> ) of 2 when reading the file) like the behavior of the "HEXA" mode for example.
Thanks in avance.
