Hi Chaitanya,<br><br>Yes, this is using the C/C++ API, the functions I am using are declared in <b>gdal.h</b> and <b>ogrsf_frmts.h</b> respectively. I am using WinXP 32bit (UK English locale) and a version of GDAL 1.6.2 that I compiled for Win32 using the supplied nmake script files for VC8. The specific filename that is causing me problems is this one; <i>"découpage_geographique.TAB"</i>. If I remove the 'é' character in that string and replace it with a normal 'e' the file opens without any problems. <br>
<br>Any help would be appreciated.<br><br>Best Regards,<br>Louis.<br><br><br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 4:10 PM, Chaitanya kumar CH <span dir="ltr"><<a href="http://chaitanya.ch">chaitanya.ch</a>@<a href="http://gmail.com">gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Can you provide the details of the OS you are working on? Also, some sample file names that caused you problems will come handy.<br>
I presume you are working in C/C++.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Mon, Aug 31, 2009 at 6:37 PM, Lodewijk Pool <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:louis.pool@gmail.com" target="_blank">louis.pool@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi All,<br><br>I'm having problems opening Raster and Vector Datasources that have filenames and paths with special characters. I'm using GDALOpen for Raster sources and OGRSFDriverRegistrar::Open() for Vector sources, the strings I pass for the filenames are UTF-8 encoded. Does anyone know whether these functions support UTF-8 encoding, and if not, whether there are any other API entry points that do support UTF-8 and/or UTF-16?<br>
<br>Thank you in advance,<br>Louis.<br><br></div></div> _______________________________________________<br>
