hi folks

i am reading a text file in Hebrew, via FSO (code below).

but its coming out in ???? instead of the actual Hebrew text.

i have tried playing around with server.htmlEncode, but it doesnt seem to help. i also have the correct codePage set.

any ideas what can be done?

thanks!

code;

------------------------------------------------------------ ------

Set FS=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set RS=FS.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("../../database/whatsnew.t xt"), 1,False)
fcount=RS.ReadLine
RS.Close

------------------------------------------------------------ ---

Function IncludeFile(FilePath)
Set FSO = server.createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set Include = FSO.opentextfile(FilePath)
While not Include.atendofstream
LineInput = Include.Readline
if left(LineInput,2) = "<" & "%" then LineInput = right(LineInput,len(LineInput) - 2)
if right(LineInput,2) = "%" & ">" then LineInput = left(LineInput,len(LineInput) - 2)
Execute(LineInput)
Wend
End Function

might want to look at the section on "format"

try the "unicode" setting

Not sure if this will help, but try this at the top of your asp page;

Response.CodePage = 65001

Response.CharSet = "utf-8"

I'm assuming you have the Hebrew font installed.

Nope, it says

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6' 

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'Response.CodePage'

And writing just the Response.CharSet doesn't help either...

hi all,

i've just come across the same problem.... nice to see i'm not alone....

i can't change the codepage to 6500 as there are other things done on the page which currently work with windows-1255.... i did try it though and the characters came out different, but still not hebrew....

by the way, the text on my site reads as weird characters and not ?????....

so, any solution for this one?

many thanks in advance for any help :-)

and merry christmas to you all

cheers

dog
