When I open the CSV file in the Android app in GO mode, then use fReadLine, I can't get to the bottom of why it didn't seem to be working as expected. When I added a Trace command I discovered that the Trace(sCSVRow) line of code below displays as Chinese characters: :confused: (Note: the RETURN at the end is just so the rest of the processing doesn't execute - it's just for trying to trace this issue) sFullFileName is string = fDataDir() + "/" + sFileName nFileNum = fOpen(sFullFileName) // Was the file opened or was there an error? IF nFileNum = -1 THEN // Display error message and go back to the button ToastDisplay("Error: File was not found in " + fDataDir(),toastLong,vaMiddle,haCenter) // Enable plane 0 (main) after error WIN_Data_Import..Plane = 0 // Return to specific screen object ReturnToCapture(BTN_Course_Material) ELSE // Read the first row and throw it away - it's just headers sCSVRow = fReadLine(nFileNum) Trace("This appears in non-Chinese chars!") Trace(sCSVRow) RETURN I've looked at the project settings, but can't see why this would be happening. The text file, when opening notepad or Notepad++ looks fine :confused: Any idea where I can look?30WEBDEVen_UShttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56753-wdm20-problem-with-chinese-characters/read.awpmoderateur@pcsoft.fr (El moderador)webmaster@pcsoft.fr (El webmaster)salvdianbpcsoft.us.windevhttps://forum.pcsoft.fr/es-ES/pcsoft.us.windev/56753-wdm20-problem-with-chinese-characters-58995/read.awp8 Aug 2016 06:05:22 ZHi, I have this problem from WDM, when sending unicode strings to socket.
