filetype() - ASCII - UTF-8

[zakhar]

Hello, dear XYplorer Community!

If the file extension is not "txt",
the filetype() seems not to distinguish correctly between encodings "ASCII" and "UTF-8".
Please check it.

UTF-8 is only checked for Text Files which are recognized via the extension (Configuration | Preview | Previewed Formats | Categories).

Wrong! See below...

Then the recognition doesn't seem to be working correctly

Code: Select all

    $file1 = "%TEMP%\~test.log";
    $file2 = "%TEMP%\~test.txt";
    writefile($file1, "¥", , "utf8");
    writefile($file2, "¥", , "utf8");
    text "1: " . filetype($file1) . <crlf> . "2: " . filetype($file2);

The .log file isn't recognized correctly, while the .txt file is.

Both extensions are ticked in the Text Files category!

Whoops, my fault. It's not "Text Files", it's "UTF-8 Files", a category that's not exposed to the user.

Anyway, I decided to make SC filetype work as advertised and go ONLY by content, not by extension. Next beta...

Next beta...

Thank you very much!
In v. 23.00.0103 it works as expected.
Used before and after writefile() - for diagnostic and verification, the filetype() is a very useful tool!

I assume because of whatever changes you made regarding this topic, there has been a side effect:

Code: Select all

  $file1 = "%TEMP%\~test.log";
  writefile($file1, "™", , "utf8");
  text runret("cmd /c chcp 65001 & type ""$file1""",, 65001);
  delete 0, 1, $file1;

Actually it was caused by the UTF-8 related changes in v23.00.0102 - 2022-04-22 15:24. Fix comes.
