Problem with Put

[dougmacg]

I am a relative newbie. I use Put Text to read a txt file with UTF-8 encoding that contains "4641919360236" then I do Paste into text box in a browser. What appears "㘴ㄴㄹ㌹〶㌲" It appears to be an encoding issue but I can't figure out what to do. Any help greatly appreciated!

In seems you are using {TextFileUNICODE(file_name)} variable instead of {TextFileUTF8(file_name)}
If you read the text as Unicode text you get the same string as you.

Try my example please (see below)
The task reads the simple text file with one line: "4641919360236"
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Code: Select all

;* RoboTask Task file

Thanks for your response. I don't what I am doing wrong. When I save your example and import, I do not see the complete task imported. I will upload a screenshot of what I see.

I see now that what I imported is what is intended. I was thrown off by the other lines in the code window.

Problem solved. Thanks for your help.
