Sorry, Francis, I see you have looked at macToIso() :)
If I put this in a button script:
on mouseUp
repeat with n = 1 to 31
put numtochar(n) into tChar
put n & "=" after tList
put mactoiso(tChar) into nChar
put chartonum(nChar) & cr after tList
end repeat
put tList
end mouseUp
I get
1=138
2=154
3=166
4=173
5=178
6=179
7=185
8=8
9=9
10=10
11=188
12=189
13=13
14=190
15=208
16=215
17=221
18=222
19=240
20=253
21=254
22=22
23=23
24=24
25=25
26=26
27=27
28=28
29=29
30=30
31=31
So if you chose your delimiters from the 22 - 31 range, they should
survive the macToIso() function.
Best,
Mark
ps. I'm really surprised at the above result. I'd assumed that
MacRoman and CodePage whatever were both ascii up to 127...

Hi from Paris,
I am in the process of delivering standalone stacks developed
on my Mac, to my family (some French, some English)........
(why do they all use PC's - when life begins with a Mac ?).
I have multicard stacks with many text objects (some in French).
When I run the stacks on the PC, all of the accents turn my
text into gibberish.
I have three possible solutions ...... :
1 - remove all accents from my text objects. What is the
quickest way ? (but then I get hassle from my French family)
2 Convert all my text data to PC (ISO) - Mark Schonewille
suggests using MactoISO.
3 - Create 2 .txt files, one for Mac execution, and one for PC
execution. In my Export/Import scripts, I decide which to use.
However, as I'm in standalone mode, I load my (empty) stack
from a .txt file, and store the updated .txt file on exit.
I use Record and Item delimiters numtochar(184) and numtochar(189)
in my .txt file, as these characters never occur in my stack data.
How do I convert all Mac text (with accents) to PC format, without
touching these delimiters.
This is more a call to our French friends who may have had this
problem, rather than a search for efficient coding. But, I will
take all helpful answers.
-Francis
