Save a notepad encoding type by default as Unicode

[suneelkv]

Hi All,

I am facing a problem with one of the file concepts in Lab view 8.5

My intention is to open a file (ext as .hrl) write some data to it and save as the same.

Actually while opening a file and writing text i could succeed but the encoding type its saving as ANSI by default...

But my requirement is it should save as Unicode...

Please see the attached jpg's

hrl is nothing but a notepad with few syntax's

waiting for ur dearest reply...

Cheers,

Hi Suneel,

the file extension is just a name and no indication of file content. So it's not interesting if your textfile has an extension like *.hrl or *.txt!

This isn't the case with your attachments: A BMP doesn't magically converts to JPEG by just renaming the file... Please don't attach BMPs in the forum, they only offer long transfer times PNGs are much smarter

To your question:
Unicode support is quite limited in LV. But there is some, deeply hidden in the vi.lib. Search the forum for UniCode!

Hi Gerdw

In a hurry i've done that....

but anyways i tried in the form but i couldnt find anything related to unicode encoding while saving...

Please cooperate in this context..

Time being we've written a patch in VB.net

by running a exe which will open the .hrl file already saved with ANSI encoding and change it to Unicode encoding..

But we feel that is a temporary solution....

So pls provide us proper a solution in Labview which i feel using Activex can be done....

But to be frank i'm poor in Activex....

Waiting for ur reply..

Cheers,

Suneel.
