You have the same problem, when the script contains german umlaute (äöüß). These will also be removed from the script, when you open it. When you copy the script into the edit window, these chars are processed correctly.

Did you open the file as UTF8, UTF16 or ANSI?

I was opening the script using UTF-8. Having now tried UTF-16 the characters 0x91 and 0x92 are read correctly.

James, can you please try again with utf-8? Does it work now? If not can you please attach the file you tried to open to this bug entry? Mike

I have now installed version 1.1.15. Using the attached file "Insert.sql" I get the following results: ANSI Correct UTF-8 Missing Apostrophes UTF-16 File does not load at all

The attached file is encoded using ANSI and hence it loads fine using the ANSI option in the open dialog. Since it is ANSI encoded it does not load well with any of the Unicode settings. So what do you expect? If you want to load this as UTF-8 file then convert it first to UTF-8 (e.g. by using Notepad). Btw. The editor is smart enough to detect a UTF-8 encoded file even if you specify ANSI in the open dialog (provided the file contains the recommended BOM header, which is usually automatically inserted by the text program, e.g. Notepad does this).
Description: When *opening* a script that contains apostrophes within a string, the apostrophes are removed. This does not happen when running the script from the command line or if you paste the script into the Query toolbar. A string in SQL is contained within the characters 0x27 so the popular bulletin board software phpbb replaces apostrophes with characters 0x91 and 0x92, but these are removed by Query Browser when opening a script. This is a problem because in phpbb, strings are used as a Primary Key ('_search_wordlist' table) and by removing these characters "duplicate entry" errors are given when trying to run the script (e.g. if 'becoming' exists as a primary key and '‘becoming’' has its apostrophes removed). How to repeat: try *opening* a script with an insert command containing data with 0x91 and 0x92 characters, e.g. INSERT INTO `table` VALUES ('‘becoming’'); Suggested fix: Allow Query Browser to read files with 0x91 and 0x92 characters.
