The file path with double byte character would fail to open.

The file path with double byte character would fail to open.

Hi,

I'm having trouble with opening file that has Japanese character in the file path.

somthing like:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
myfile = new File("/Users/junichi/Desktop/???.mqo"); // fine at this moment.
myfile.open(READ_MODE); // fails at this point.
OS.messageBox("Check", myfile.isOpen()); // returns false.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

So, I rename my file to 'test.mqo' and do the same again:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
myfile = new File("/Users/junichi/Desktop/test.mqo"); // fine at this moment.
myfile.open(READ_MODE); // good at this point.
OS.messageBox("Check", myfile.isOpen()); // returns true.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Well, at this point the ONLY problem with 2 bytes character is to 'open()' method. In the other part, the Cheetah3d handles fine with double byte character like texture path.( tested in UI and reads texture correctly with 2 bytes path.):

So far, I do rename my file and folder name to ascii character to import from script, but it would be great if 'Open()' support the path with 2 bytes path.


Thanks,

Hi,
script files must be always saved in ASCII format. C/C++ etc. also don't allow 2-bytes characters in source code. I guess the Javascript engine does the same.

Hi,

Thanks for your repliy.
Ok, I understand that the script must be in ascii.
So since that, I make temporary file using copyTo() and then open my ascii renamed file and removing it when I done with reading.

myfile = new File(path);
tmpPath = myfile.directory()+"/tmp"+(new Date()).getTime();
var isOK = myfile.copyTo( tmpPath );
...
..
.

I hope copyTo() won't get too much time when the file size is big...


Thankyou,
