Re: Degrees symbol encoding
How did you get it working Tony? It still doesn't work for me.
If I type ALT+0167 min the text file (Saved as UTF-8) I get °C in the processed file. If I manually save the file as ANSI, it shows correctly, but Cumulus MX changes the file back to UTF-8 and I end up with °C again.
I've tried everything to no avail.

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
OK, well I have now sorted it after a lot of searching and trying various things.
On my mini-pc I had to go to Settings > Time & language > Language & region > Administrative language settings > Change system locale, and check "Beta: Use Unicode UTF-8 for worldwide language support" and then reboot, just to get the degrees symbol without the space character before it.
The question is though, I thought that if you don't have UTF-8 checked in CMX "Extra Web Files" then it leaves the encoding to whatever is set in the text file?
It always changes it back to UTF-8 no matter what you save it as.
I'm still confused as to why Tony @ beaumaris weather said his problem was fixed lol

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
The template file encoding is irrelevant, MX saves the destination file with the encoding specified in the config (from b4019 onwards).

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
My apologies for late reply, I have been in hospital from 10th April (over 4 hour operation) only got home late last night 12th April.
After this post I will not be online much over the next month while recovering.
My problem was fixed Tina !
Using b4019. Not installing b4020 in my current condition.
My "CamtextT.txt" is saved as ANSI.
It contains :
Code: Select all
<#time> Temp: <#temp>°C MaxTemp: <#tempTH>°C @ <#TtempTH> MinTemp: <#tempTL>°C @ <#TtempTL> Pressure: <#press> hpa
Rain: <#rfall> mm Wind(avg): <#wspeed> km/h Wind(dir): <#wdir> Max Gust: <#wgustTM> km/h @ <#TwgustTM> Humidity: <#hum> %
Output is "Camtext.txt" and is still ANSI.
Code: Select all
11:00 on 13 April 2024 Temp: 19.7°C MaxTemp: 19.8°C @ 10:58 MinTemp: 11.7°C @ 01:07 Pressure: 1018.3 hpa
Rain: 0.0 mm Wind(avg): 4.8 km/h Wind(dir): WSW Max Gust: 17.7 km/h @ 09:57 Humidity: 67 %

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
Hi Tony.
That's exactly the same thing as I did/do. 4020 changes mine back to UTF-8 with UTF-8 unchecked though.
Get well soon mate.

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
Cheers matey, oh bummer, I'll leave mine at b4019 until I'm a bit better and Mark gets a chance to look at it after his walk.

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
No change in the code in that area in b4020 from b4019 and it works fine in my tests. See the attached:
TEST-T.txt = Source file
TEST-UTF8.txt = Output with extra files UTF-8 flag set
TEST-ANSI.txt = Output with extra files UTF-8 flag unset
TEST-T.txt = Source file
TEST-UTF8.txt = Output with extra files UTF-8 flag set
TEST-ANSI.txt = Output with extra files UTF-8 flag unset

Re: Degrees symbol encoding
I got the degrees symbol to work in the end, but I had to change some obscure windows settings to get it to work.
However, CMX still changes the file to UTF-8 from ANSI even when UTF-8 was unchecked in the extra files.
