This error likely resulted from the mismatch between the specified encoding and the file's actual contents. >What could I have done? One thing I'd hope BBEdit could do for me (I >hope) is show me which characters in the file are UTF-8 gremlins, but >that can't happen if it refuses to display the file. Recent versions provide a "Read As" popup in the warning sheet, which you can use to select a different encoding. Alternatively, you can use the "Read As" popup in the Open dialog to open the selected file(s) with a specific encoding. (Though I can't be sure without seeing the file :) probably choosing Latin-1 or Mac Roman would've worked.) >(By the way: _Is_ there a way to get BBEdit to flag characters in an >ASCII file as UTF-8 gremlins?) Text -> Zap Gremlins with the "Non-ASCII" characters and "Replace with code" options. (I use this a lot... :-) Regards, Patrick Woolsey == Bare Bones Software, Inc. <http://www.barebones.com> P.O.
