    Hi there,

    I would like to read the .prj files for a special tool, but the special characters (non-ASCII, or backslash) are encoded in a strange unknown way.

    For example: Backslash is saved as +AFw-

    So a saved path in a project looks like this: 

    Code: Select all

    [FilesU - Temp]
0=Temp1
1=C:+AFw-Users+AFw-Public+AFw-Documents+AFw-Test.txt
    Has anyone an idea on how to convert those sequences back to "normal" text, except testing each and every character to get the result?

      The file is written in Unicode (UTF-7) and you are reading it in ASCII. See this reference.

        Oh... strange that UE doesn't open it's own file with the correct encoding then.

        I figured out with setting the Advanced->Code page to "65000 (UTF-7)", it shows the data properly.

        But easy to read it then with an external tool anyway, thanks for the hint!  :)
