Hi all,
as the subject says, I am trying to export addresses to the VCard
format 3.0.Lots of german adresses with umlauts etc.!
But whatever I try, I cannot figure out how to encode the strings :-/
I thought that:
put uniencode(fld "vcard","UTF8" into url("binfile:...)
would do the trick, but nada.
Mac "Addressbook" does not want to import them and "TextEdit" does
not show the umlauts,
although I open the files manually and select "Textencoding:
Unicode UTF8" in the open dialog.
Assuming the text in the field is "plain Rev text", and that you
need to export UTF-8. I think it's a two-step process.
put uniEncode(fld "vcard") into tVar ## create 2-byte unicode
put uniDecode(tVar, "UTF8") into tUTF8Var ## decode to UTF8
put tUTF8Var iinto url ("binfile:" & etc.)
OH YEAH! That's it!
Shows up correctly in TextEdit and imports fine into AddressBook.
Thanks a million times, you are my hero!
Please remember: NO capes! :-D
