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 _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
