Re: transposing comma problem

Answers to all questions:

* As it is shown by screenshots, is clear that I am using 6.2 (and 5.2)
Editors to implement codes.
* Certainly, I do not copy from a pdf. I am writing (typing) inside the
Editor directly.
* error: 'chcp' undefined near line 1, column 1
* PowerShell Output:
[image: image.png]
No error.
* Hanging when trying to recognize the character code occurs every time
(several times).

Thanks,
Hamed.
