Writing a text file with non-english language

[gerrtunk]

My problem is that the ´´ ,ñ,etc, give errors. Im opening a file with open and .write in it.

Have you tried both text mode and binary mode? ('w' and 'wb')

*hugs*

You may need either save it in Unicode (UTF-8) or Western European (ISO-8859-1) coding, just choose the one that suits your unusual character typing needs.

Ruby, OK, RGSS uses $KCODE = "U" by default AFAIK.

what is the iso code and hoe i changue it?

Iirc, you should be able to do this simply:

whatever.write("This is a string", "w")

However I have no idea how you actually change encodings by saving from RMVXP... I still suggest you use utf-8, as I had a bunch of problems using different other files in RMVXP... utf-8 works flawlessly (given the required font characters are installed).

As for the ISO code, it's simply a normed way to save a text document as. it's not a number you have to put anywhere, as it's more or less the name.

RMXP/VX is using UTF-8, and it cannot be changed. AFAIK KCODE can't be changed.

Anyway, you just need to save your text file as UTF-8 rather than ANSI, in the Save Dialog when editing your textfile with notepad.
