  • How do I create a file in Ansi format?

    From Jafar@21:1/5 to All on Fri Nov 24 08:25:40 2023
    I am trying to change the way ini files created in an application since they are created as utf8 by default which causes problems when writing to these ini files.

    I tried several things like calling SetAnsi with a true flag, but nothing seems to help.

    Does anyone know how I can change the encoding of a file from UTF8 to Ansi?

    Hi Jafar,

    This works for me:

    SetAnsi(TRUE)
    MemoWrit(cFileNmIni,cContent)

    The memowrit( help page tells more about Ansi

    Does this help you ?

    I have already tried using SetAnsi(TRUE), but that doesn't help. Even with MemoWrit the encodings is still UTF-8.
