Hi,
I�ve tried to use
SETFLAGS KAlwaysWriteASCIIFiles&
IOOPEN(h1%,"Filename.txt",$0122)
REM Opening in BINARY Mode
OutString$="Text Line 1 ���"+CHR$(KCarriageReturn&😉+CHR$(KLineFeed&😉+"Text Line 2"
IOWRITE (h1%,ADDR(OutString$)+1+KOplAlignment%),LEN(OutString$)
IOOCLOSE(h1%)
CLEARFLAGS KAlwaysWriteASCIIFiles&
and when I�ve looked into the created File "Filename.txt" (ASCII) I�m getting:
Text Line 1: xxx (<- xxx representing 3 times hex value 1A instead of the character ���)
Text Line 2
However, if I use remove the SETFLAGS KAlwaysWriteASCIIFiles& I�m getting
an UNICODE-File with the correct:
Text Line 1: A��
Text Line 2
My problem is now, that I want to write the german extended characters right (e.g. �=196 dez)
AND that I want to write in ASCII-mode instead of UNICODE-Mode.
I�ve tried to use BINARY Mode (altering value $122 in Line 2 to $102) for output,
but here SETFLAGS KAlwaysWriteASCIIFiles& don�t seem to work, and
I haven�t success outputting a carriage return (CHR$13) and a linefeed (CHR$10)
in this BINARY Mode.

Hi Luzie !
had same problem here, want to write a runtime tracing-tool to write some vars and messages to a ascii-file. to run on PC-emulator or symbian device.
attached you will find my workaround.
some codelines "unicode to AScii converter" found in vCal a tool from http://www.freepoc.org - (thanks to Malcolm Bryant)

Hi,
thnaks for your reply / program.
I�ll have a look at it in my next spare time,
and then reply here. Yet I used another (very slow)
workaround, which I then will also post here.

Hi,
I think the best option is to use binary mode and instead use the Buffer.opx and the Convert.opx for text handling.
When using binary mode, you should *not* use
SETFLAGS KAlwaysWriteASCIIFiles&
When you have created and manipulated your binary buffer, just use
IOmode%=KIOModeReplace% OR KIOFormatBinary% OR KIOAccessUpdate%
IOOPEN(hOutFile%,Location$+KOutFileName$,IOmode%)
IOWRITE(hOutFile%,pBuffer&,BufferSize&😉
Since it is Ascii, BufferSize& should be equal to BufferLen&
Check also dpNote 18 and 19 for some further ideas about conversion and binary buffer handling of text.
