Hello all
I asked a similar question just some weeks ago but now the problemis a
little different.
The problem regards german umlauts (a,o,u with two dots on top).
I read out info from a MAC plist file (INFO = settings file for WIN
users !) with the "default read" shell command and put
the result into a variable. When the variable contains umlauts and I
display it I get:
- for Peter Muller (where the u, would have two dots on top)
- Peter M\334ller
If I look inside the plist file with the "Property Llist Editor" the
name appears
correct on 10.3, 10.4 and 10.5, but if I fetch the name with the
"default read" shell command
I always get the above.
I searched with google and found out that this is ISO 8859-1 but in
oktal format
eg. umlauts o returns \326, u returns \334, a returns \344 etc.
Is there a way to change this automatically to utf8 with Revolution?
I tried dozens of variants of uniencode and unidecode but got nowhere
also isotomac did not help.
Can anyone help ?
Cheers
Rolf
