Problem with accent in CF Builder (encoding problem ?)

  • April 7, 2010

Hello,

since we installed CF Builder final (1.0.0.271911), we have trouble with accent that all are replaced by little squares. It looks like an encoding problem, but we didn't change the encoding of our files, that were well displayed in the beta versions of CF Builder...

We program in french language, so we have a lot of accent or other special characters, especially in our code comments.

Is there a way to solve this problem ?

Thanks in advance

Steph

Correct answer Sandeeppaliwal

Since the setting to change encoding for CFML content is global, it applies to all projects. So when you have a project which has UTF-8 encoded files make supre preference for CFML content type is also set to UTF-8, and when you work on project with files encoded as CP1252 make sure you change the setting to CP1252 for CFML content type.

Hope this solves your problem.

thanks,

Hi,

ColdFusion Builder now treats all cfml content as UTF-8 encoded by default. This can be changed through preferences to suit the encoding of the file being edited. Refer to my blogpost on how to make this change in CF Builder.

Also this forum post http://forums.adobe.com/thread/602751?tstart=30 has similar issue answered.

Try these steps and let us know whether they helped.

thanks,

Hi Stephane,

I've also installed  the coldfusion builder finale and I have the same problem, text like :

<label for="firstNameField">Pr�nom* :</label>

I've tried to change my encoding settings but it gets worse (I was initialy using utf-8).

I've also tried to create a new cfm file and to read it with textpad, and it's the same mess (and when I check the encoding properties, it says that it's in utf-8).

If someone has any idea, that would be great

Thanks

Paul
