Unicode Problem

Postby Dalli » Tue Mar 04, 2008 9:39 am

Hello,
I have the same problem. When I use it with german Umlaute the special letters get lost. But the main problem is, that the whole apllication is not starting.
Is there an solution?
Thanks all for your help

is it possible to use variables inside the plugin ?

IE:
Text file path: $TARGETDIR$\\PBMS52\\CpgManager.config
Find What: LOCALAPPDATA
Replace with: $EnvironmentVarStored$

is this the correct syntax to use or is it even possible ?

Yes it is.

But i have another problem, when i edit a file on a certain 'drive' (doesn't matter if it's an actual harddrive oder network drive) it edits it fine.

But when i refer to the file as \\\\server\\dir\\dir\\file.txt
it wont't work. so my input is:

edit file $targetdir$\\config.cfg

U:\\ refers to \\\\server\\usernamewhen i use $targetdir$=U it works
with targetdir = \\\\server\\username\\ it doesn't

is there a way to solve this?

I installed the plugin to help me with an ongoing project, but now the build is failing (Error during build: Failed to compile plug-in action: EditFile).

Would rewrite the project from scratch help me in some sort of way?
Thanks in advance.

No. I started from scratch, but still it didn't work. Is there some compatibility issue between this plugin and the most recent version of InstallAware? Is there any other command I could use to replace a token in a XML file?

Thanks in advance again [:P]

Thanks for this plug-in. It's exactly what I needed to replace a value in my app's config file.

I am trying to get the updated plug in for IA9 but the link http://www.installaware.com/forums/file ... lugins.exe just returns me to the IA home page. Is there a problem or has this file moved?

Thanks in advance

The latest version I have is marked as 4.1.0.2005. This verion, when compiling either single file or CD, gives me the build error 'Error during build: Failed to compile plug-in action: EditFile'

The file is correct, but I guess some ISPs are causing trouble due to caching. So I have renamed the download:

http://www.installaware.com/Camelot-Ins ... Proper.exe

Enjoy!

zchris,

Have you thought about adding Unicode support to your EditFile plugin? This would be really useful.
