Quote characters changed after PowerGen build

[Statey603]

Sometimes I copy and paste code from Notepad++ when I am updating code in multiple places. When I do this the pasted code looks fine However, I have noticed that pasted quote and other characters (dash) become garbled after a build - with DollarSignDollarSignHEX being inserted before and after.

For example:
this:
//CR1074 - LTC SERV AUTH – NO DOLLAR AMT
becomes this:
//CR1074 - LTC SERV AUTH $$HEX2$$13202000$$ENDHEX$$NO DOLLAR AMT

I suspect that this has to do with the Encoding used but am not sure which encoding I should specify in Notepad++ to be compatible with PowerBuilder.

I appreciate any info concerning what character encoding my text editor should be configured for to be compatible with PowerBuilder.

The Notepad++ encoding options are:
ANSI
UTF-8 without BOM
UTF-8
UCS-2 Big Endian
UCS-2 Little Endian

FYI:
I am using PowerBuilder Version 11.0 Build 6525.

thanks.....

Have you tried ANSI? I've had this happen sometimes when using other editors like UltraEdit when I pasted code into Visual Studio and SQL Enterprise Manager.

I am using ANSI.....so that must not be the right one - assuming that there is a 'right' one.


thanks

In my install of Notepad++ under the menu option of
TextFX > TextFX Characters there is a Convert quotes to '
option. Maybe this would help?
