Compiled AHK Produces Chinese File Names

[SlCantre939]

Hi Everyone,
This one has me stumped.
When I run the script uncompiled, it runs correctly putting out file names in English.

But when I compile it, (Yes just downloaded latest version of compiler), I get Chinese file names.
Any suggestion appreciated.
Thanks

You posted in the v2 section, but your other posts are using v1. Do you mean this to be in the v2 section or should I move it?

[SlCantre939]

The main script is in V2, it does call FindText and UIA_Interface which are both V1.
Sorry where should I put it?
Thanks

How are you accomplishing that? Are you using autohotkey.dll or something else that lets you run v1 libraries from v2, such as this approach? If not, it could be that your main script is actually v1 as well, and it's running in v1 even though you may also have v2 installed. You can put your script directly in a post reply in between [code][/code] tags.

The full script is 360 lines. I can put it out there if you think that is okay.
The reason I didn't is that it works perfectly in AHK mode just not in exe.
Let me know if you want the full script loaded.
I'm still new to the forum and don't want to over step.
Thanks for your direction.

If you put it in between the code tags as mentioned, that's fine. It would be better if you had a smaller script that exhibited the same issue. That's the one of the best ways to troubleshoot a problem anyway. Create a short script that isolates the issue, then solve that and implement the fix into your main script.

Extracted the first 100 rows of script and removed several steps to simplify the test.
Ran the script from Visual Studio Code and the file name was in English.
Compiled the script and during row 106 where the file path & name are assigned to the file name, it posted as Chinese.
File saved with Chinese name. File sizes and contents are the same between the two runs.

You still haven't answered how you're using v1 libraries if your main script is running as v2. Put these two lines exactly as shown at the top of your script and tell me what it says when you run it:

Code: Select all

v1 := "v2"
MsgBox v1

Found the problem.
Had to compile with v1.1.36.02 U64 Unicode 64-bit.bin as the Base File option.
When I did that, all the files populate correctly in English.
34-bit was causing the issue.
Thanks for your direction to try to test it with a smaller script.
That is what helped me find the issue.
Good suggestion.
Thanks
