Percent % not displaying when loading text from a textfile.

[doorman]

Hello,

I´m trying to display text from an external text file. I don´t seem to get the percent character "%" to display. I set the System.UseCodePage to true. What could the problem be ?

Thanks,

hi,

Make sure the font you're using has the percentage sign.
If you've embedded the font, make sure the percentage sign has also been embedded.

If you trace it, is it being traced correctly?
Is the text field big enough to accommodate the percentage sign?

Other than this... I really don't know...

Can't see what using System.UseCodePage may have to do with it...
As we're on the subject, read Colin Moock's against the use of System.useCodePage .

Thank you for your reply.

To display the percent (%) character from an external file use the escape code. So instead of typing % type %25.

would be
