I must also say that last time I did some serious programming job about 20 years ago on Atari ST. In the meantime, just something simple in Filemaker Pro. So, please keep this in mind. Thank you. Now, let's back to my problem. I have some really simple App, with TaxtArea1.text, and 3 buttons. With first button, user can choose text file, and in most cases it will be Windows CP-1250 (Central European) file. Code I used for this (just important part): Code: t=TextInputStream.Open(ff) t.Encoding=Encodings.WindowsLatin2 TextArea1.text=t.ReadAll t.Close At this stage, all Central European characters are recognized and displayed proper way in TextArea1. Second button is doing some manipulation with text itself, nothing special (removing empty lines, number format conversions, etc), and finally it converts text to UTF8, because I need target file in that format. Code: s=ConvertEncoding(TextArea1.text,Encodings.UTF8) TextArea1.text = s Dummy, but doesn't matter, I made this unnecessary steps to trace what is going on. Anyway, text is converted to UTF8, and all Central European characters are still good. Finally, third button is Save button, and it should save TXT file. Code: Dim f As FolderItem Dim fileStream as TextOutputStream Dim output as String = ReplaceLineEndings( TextArea1.Text, EndOfLine ) f=GetSaveFolderItem(output,"Test.txt") If f <> Nil then fileStream=TextOutputStream.Create(f) fileStream.WriteLine output fileStream.Close MsgBox "File saved" End if Result is Test.txt file. Problem is: Compiled EXE for Windows works good, all characters in final Test.txt file look goog even in Notepad, and file is UTF8 format (tested). However, on Mac version, all Central European characters are lost. Just to have a better picture, I will give a couple examples: Instead of "Å¡" I have "â°", instead of "ž" I have "âæ", etc. (everything without quotes, of course) More interesting, when I open the same file (created on Mac, with wrong characters) on Windows, everything is fine (except line endings, but that's not important). So, I can open that file in Notepad, save it without any change as a Test2.txt, for example, open it again on Mac, and file is now good. What I'm doing wrong? I need this to work on Mac without going to Windows. p.s. Sorry if I made some mistakes in English, I'm not a native Enslish speaker. Thank you.
