Hi, Try saving your .txt file as UTF-8, you will find that in the **encoding** drop down(where it says ANSI) Cheers SteveD ---

hi thanks for the reply meanwhile i’ve seen a tutorial here and already find out that thing about utf-8 the only thing i’ve done diferently is that i don’t need to save my text files in utf-8 format i simply put //!-- UTF-8 on the begining of each text file and save it as ansi format and that’s it thanks anyway
