printing special characters to file

[shyPotter]

Hi,

I have some text in non English (e:g Arabic/Urdu/Hindi etc) language. When I
am using file system object to or normal file system to write that text to
file I get error, same code with english characters works fine.

Any idea how to solve this.

Regards

You need to ensure the file is written in unicode format. When using the
CreateTextFile method make sure you pass a boolean True as the third
parameter:-

Dim fso: Set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oStream = fso.CreateTextFile(sFilePath, True, True)

This informs the stream to write characters as Unicode.

What errors were you getting?
