#94 AstroGrep cant seem to search for japanese characters properly

[Anonymous Anonymous]

I am using 4.4.5 and the program seems to be unable to search for japanese characters in some instances.

For example, the program can find the search term "説明" just fine. When i tell it to search for "資金加算" however, it does not seem capable of finding it. The only option i have is "search subfolders" and it is a normal .txt file so it is not excluded by default.

The file in question has the line as :

#define_instruction "", @game_資金加算 , call, @game_money_add() //

When i search for 資金加算, the program cannot find it even though i am looking at it in Notepad++. I made a new text file and put "資金加算" by itself and the program can find it, but for some reason it cannot find the above line.

It is not capable of finding "@game_資金設定" either.

If possible, please provide the following:

1. log file (Help -> Log File) during that time.
2. The actual file that contains the text not found
3. After the search, can you open up the Messages log (View -> Status Messages), locate the file search that is having the problem and tell me what the Details column says. The value column should say something like Searching [file name] and the details will say something like Unicode (UTF-8) [WinMerge].
4. Open the file in notepad++ and look at the bottom right area in the status bar and report the current encoding value. Should be the 2nd entry from the right.

Thanks.
