Editors to Create WinBatch Scripts
Keywords: wordpad notepad word special characters
Question:
I'm getting the error 3054: unrecognizable item found on line (garbage characters in lower box)Winbatch 32 96m Wil version 2.3 mbnwhen I try to run my WinBatch script, which I created with WordPad.
I then tried a different editor (notepad), and it worked fine. It wouldn't work when created with Wordpad.
Answer:
Yeah. Wordpad is more of a word-processing editor, and it puts other gunk in the file that poor WinBatch cannot understand.You can use Wordpad for your winbatch files, but you have to be aware of its capabilities. Make sure you save the file as a text file and make sure you turn off wrapping for long lines.
That goes for whatever editor you use to create WinBatch scripts: Make sure you save it as an ascii file, so that word processing control characters don't get written to the file.
Problem Displaying French Characters in Message
Question:
I have problem with message box with french character (with accent)inside. This chracter are displayed garbaged.Maybe someone may have some tips or trick for this Thank in advance and excuse my english
Answer:
WinBatch (and Windows) uses the ANSI character set, not the ASCII charaster set.A lot of this depends on what editor you use to create the Winbatch script files. Use a WINDOWS editor. Try NOTEPAD.
