Percentage character not read from txt file

[Zim]

Hi Gents
I have a text file that has a % symbol in it, but wlog and file.read can't see it. Is there a way around this?

Thanks

What is the exact content of the file?

The % has a special meaning in html so this could be the problem

[Zim]

Thanks for the quick responce!

try$ = file.read$("/data.txt",9,6)
wlog try$

or


wlog file.read$("/data.txt",9,6)

data.txt

Try to remove the 9,6 and see

[Zim]

percentage and spaces don't show up.

[cicciocb]

Use the debug window to see the content of the variable or use print

[Zim]

print file.read$("/date.txt") --> 12345678999full (should read 123456789 99% full)

no errors in serial window

print "12 3%" --> 12 3% ( print function does show spaces and %)

Are you using the ESP8266?

I cannot reproduce the problem on the ESP32, i've just tried with Wokwi and WLOG "%" works
