PrimalScript 2019 problem with unicode character
Posted: Mon Dec 17, 2018 1:45 pm
Product: PrimalScript (64 Bit)
Build: v7.4.120
OS: Windows 10 Pro (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.16299
At least one Unicode character that we have used in our scripts for many years causes the 2019 version to stop reading the script file, sometimes with gibberish after the character. The 2018 and 2014 versions read everything just fine.
The right double arrow is particularly troublesome:
" ยป "
In a comment it seems to simply stop reading the script. In code it causes the odd error you will find in the attached file, as well as an error that some lines are over 8128 characters long (they are NOT).
Thanks,

BTW, the dropdown on this web page to "select code" type doesn't seem to have a selection for vbscript. We make a LOT of vbscripts. Hopefully some day we'll move to powershell, but for the foreseeable future it's all vbscript.
