I do not know why this particular file does not display, but it certainly has nothing to do with Code::Blocks not having support to open non-UTF files.

If Code::Blocks could not open non-UTF files, then I would be unable to open 99% of my own sources...

[thomas]

You can prove that this problem is not due to missing non-UTF support by doing as I just did:

Open the file Editor.cxx in SciTE, and save 5 separate copies of the same file, each using a different encoding method. Then drag all these files onto Code::Blocks.

You will see that it opens none of them, regardless of whether they are 8-bit encoded, UTF-8 encoded with or without cookie, or UCS-2 encoded in either big or little endian (the latter is not surprising, UCS-2 is indeed not supported).
It does not matter how this particular file is encoded, it does not work either way.

Obviously there is a (yet unknown) issue with certain files, but it is certainly not "Code::Blocks has no support for opening non-UTF files".

thomas, you have to realize that ASCII files are also UTF8. Many files can be saved in multiple charsets and have exactly the same bytes. However, if one of them is saved in a format that conflicts with UTF8, C::B will not open it for the time being. I'm working on a fix, but it's difficult. But I was not wrong in my statement, either.

C::B simply does not support opening files that are not UTF8. Unfortunately it's not a 5 minute fix. I'll make a thread later today with my suggestion for how C::B could truly handle the different charsets.

all files in "src\sdk\as\source" are not opened in CB

Incorrect/inaccurate information. This is only true (coincidally) for character codes below 127.

Here is a file which quite obviously has characters outside that range and which is quite obviously not UTF-encoded:

Code

$ cat müll.cpp
// ▒1 sch▒ner M▒ll mit vielen Umlauten, so da▒ auch Sam sehen kann,
$ hexdump müll.cpp
0000000 2f2f a720 2031 6373 f668 656e 2072 fc4d

0000070 6e6e 6420 7361 6920 7473 2e2e 002e
000007d

And here is the file opened and correctly displayed in Code::Blocks



EDIT: Strictly speaking, you are right in some way, since ASCII is strictly only 7 bits... but that does not matter for the example.

I meant ASCII files with "normal" chars :sillyme: My bad

[killerbot]

I have been toying around with the file "as_variablescope.h" (in the sdk as).
In that file in the comments is the name of the author : Jönsson.
The problem character is that : ö  (o with umlaut)
Remove that character, and you can see the contents of the file

Lieven

pS : for scintilaa editor.cxx:
slop | strict | jumps | even | Caret can go to the margin                 | When reaching limitÝ(caret going out of


-------> the character after the limit word is the cause

[takeshimiya]

Correctly speaking ASCII=7 bits (plain old english), ANSI=8 bits (any language, depending on the codepage).

Humm....

Thanks killer and thomas, done that with my files and now its working :-)

[Der Meister]

Just take a look at the bug report. A few days ago I already added a comment that describes the problem:

 :wink:

[killerbot]

superman Yiannis has just solved this :
changing one line of code in globals.cpp
revision 1648

 

[therion]

yeaahhhh!!!! and works great :-)
ill upload in a second
