Hello,

I am trying to insert unicode text into xml using the XML Edit action, but unfortunately, the non-English portions come out as gibberish. Furthermore, the variable itself looks gibbereish in the watches pane (I tried both loading the variable from an INI file, and simply setting its value through the wathces pane).

How can I handle unicode variables?

&nbsp;

Thank you

Hi  
  
FinalBuilder is not yet unicode compliant so this may not be possible at this time. You may be able to achive this using VBScript.
