FSO writting symbol to text file
Hi,
I'm having a bit of trouble writting the copyright symbol to a text file here is a cut down version of my page
Strangely when I write "©" to file the "©" gets written, but the "Â" is ignored????
Code:
<%@ Language="vbscript" codepage=65001 %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer=True
%>
<!DocType html Public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
<%
Call WriteToFile("First: ""©""" & vbNewLine,"c:\temp\","testdata.txt",True)
Call WriteToFile("Second: ""©""" & vbNewLine,"c:\temp\","testdata.txt",False)
%>
</body>
</html>
<%
Sub WriteToFile(sWhat, sPath, sFName, bOverwrite)
Dim oFile ' File Object
Dim oOut ' File Out Stream
Const ForReading=1
Const ForWriting=2
Const ForAppending=8
Set oFile = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oOut = oFile.OpenTextFile(sPath & sFName, IIf(bOverwrite,ForWriting,ForAppending), True)
oOut.Write(sWhat)
oOut.Close
Set oOut = Nothing
Set oFile = Nothing
End Sub
Function IIf(expr,var1,var2)
If expr Then IIf=var1 Else IIf=var2
End Function
%>
Any help will greatly appreciated
Cheers Al
Re: FSO writting symbol to text file
Try replacing with chr(169) for your copyright
Not sure what the other symbol is.
Here is a link to a code converter
http://www.lookuptables.com/
Where you see Numeric rows place that value in chr(?) to get that symbol.
You only need the number not &#
Re: FSO writting symbol to text file
gtilles,
Thanks for your reply, chr(169) produces "t". I'm pretty sure that this is being caused by the -
Code:
<%@ Language="vbscript" codepage=65001 %>
<%
Option Explicit
Response.Buffer=True
%>
<!DocType html Public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<title></title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;charset=utf-8">
</head>
<body>
Just not sure how to get around it. Have searched google without success for "utf-8 copyright symbol chr"
[Edit] - Hmmm maybe not. I've removed them to no effect. When I write to a file from a vb app the symbols output correctly
Cheers Al
