Bug reports / Re: Strange chars in TAR file

« on: February 05, 2008, 11:07:06 PM »

A little update:
I did some testing, not sure if this helps but the chars that i got are the same you would get from cmd if the input has been from Windows, i.e. if you encode a textfile in Windows ANSI (cp1252) and look at it through a DOS prompt wich (at least on my system, think its European standard though) uses cp850 you get the same phenomena of switched chars. What encoding are your TAR routine using? Is it an explicit choice of codepage or "system default", if the latter i guess its Microsoft ANSI.

I've done some simple textapps in C# and this is - at least to me - a problem that i bumped into several times, since DOS, Windows and the framework wants different ways of encoding their files.

Thank you for looking into it! Have to apologize for my lazy respons, been a little busy  Didn't cross my mind that the problem could actually be the zip-application i used, but you where absolutely right. I tried it with some other zip apps and it worked like a charm  (Might even be some setting i didnt care to look into so the zipp app might be ok too, but the one that caused strange chars was the portable version of IZArc called IZArc2Go fyi.)

So ty, and keep up the good work!

Bug reports / Strange chars in TAR file

« on: January 27, 2008, 07:45:41 PM »

Hello. My first post   I've been searching and havent quite found my problem on the forum. The swedish chars ÅÄÖ looks ok on files presented in the browser, but when archived with tar they get switched to something else?! Looks like some kind of dos-codepage to me. Am i doing something wrong, is it a feature or simply a bug?
All in all a great program imho.

Ps. sorry if this has already been addressed..
