Ability to search Unicode Files
Posted: Wed Mar 26, 2008 3:48 am
When using the "Find in Files" utility, several coworkers and I discovered that we can't search for text within files that are encoded as Unicode in PrimalScript 2007.
For an example, I set up a temporary folder on my C: drive with 4 identical text files, labeled Text_Doc1 through 4. All were saved with Unicode Encoding. Each file only contains one word: 'foo'. When using the "Find in Files" utility to search for 'foo', it did not find any of these files. I re-saved Text_Doc1 and Text_Doc3 as ANSI. Primal script found only those two files.
Is there a setting that I am missing, or would it be possible to have an enhancement to allow searching of Unicode files?
