[1.1.0] Windows: Different character encoding running in IDE and from commandline

using print?

if yes: try with uprint()

this is from the sources (Lib/sikuli/Sikuli.py):

##
# some support for handling unicode and strings
#
## use instead of print if unicode strings present
# usage: uprint(s1, u1, u2, u3, s3, ...)
#
def uprint(*args):
  for e in args[:-1]:
    if isinstance(e, str):
      print e,
    else:
      print e.encode("utf8"),
  if isinstance(args[-1], str):
    print args[-1]
  else:
    print args[-1].encode("utf8")

##
# to make an utf8-encoded string from a str object
#
def unicd(s):
  return ucode(s)

def ucode(s):
  return (unicode(s, "utf8"))

no i‘m using „paste(myvariable)“ to paste the string into the textbox.

and yes: i did the .encode.decode utf-8 thing with my variable

Uuups, should have read your message more carefully, sorry.

What system? What Java?

could you please paste the offending code snippet?

I'm running Sikulix 1.1.0 on Windows 7 64bit, Java Version 8, Update 152.

Here is my code snippet with some comments:

###########################################
type("c",KEY_CTRL) # copy selected mail subject field
mail = Env.getClipboard()
mail = mail.encode('utf-8', 'ignore').decode('utf-8')
mail = mail.split("\n") # split table titles line and subject/sender
mail = mail[1] # set var mail to the subject/sender string
mail = mail.split("\t") # split into sender and subject
sender = "sender unknown"
sender = mail[0] #sender name
sender = sender.encode('utf-8', 'ignore').decode('utf-8')
mailtext = "no text"
mailtext = mail[1] # subject text
mailtext = mailtext.encode('utf-8', 'ignore').decode('utf-8')
#switch to textbox (ticket application)
paste("Here is some text from "+sender+": "+mailtext)
###########################################

Thank you for your help

Value of mail is for example:

From Subject Received Size
Lastname, Firstname Subjecttext 22:09 46 KB

This question was expired because it remained in the 'Open' state without activity for the last 15 days.

the issue still exists. can i provide more helpful information? just tell me what you need. thanks a lot!

sorry for ignoring.
I will take a look now.

ok, tested with 1.1.0 and 1.1.3 on Windows 10 latest Java 8.

This finally worked for me:

text = Env.getClipboard() # contains Unicode chars
uprint(text) # does not print correctly on commandline (known problem)

text1 = "ööööööööööööööööö"
text2 = ucode(text1)

#text = text + "\n" + text1 # does not work (ascii codec error)
text = text + "\n" + text2 # works
uprint(text) # see above
paste(text) # works bot in IDE and from commandline

conclusion:
- assigning with Env.getClipboard() works

- adding text with Unicode chars using + only works if text is encoded correctly (using ucode(text) or unicode(text, "utf8"))

paste(text) works in all cases
