Hi Fredrik,
When you're using unicode, you need to use the unicodeText properties
all the time. Instead of putting a field into a variable, you do this:
put the unicodeText of fld "importedData" into tData
The problem now is that tData is not plain text. If all characters in
your text can be converted to ASCII characters, you may convert your
UTF8 stream to plain text:
put unidecode(uniencode(tFile,"UTF8"),"English") into tData
Let us know whether this works for you.

Hi there,
I'm writing a small application that's supposed to keep track of
different tasks for certain people at work. I'm using a datagrid to
present the data and simple text files for storage. The problem is
that I tend to lose the characters åäö and ÅÄÖ (which we use a lot
here in Sweden).
At first I simply loaded a tab-delimited file into the dgText of the
datagrid but that didn't work.
After searching around on the forums/mailing list I found some code
for handling UTF-encoded text and thus I changed the "Open file"-
code to something like this:
set the unicodetext of fld "importedData" of card "Data" to
uniencode(tFile,"UTF8")
put the fld "importedData" of card "Data" into tData
And then I set the dgText to tData. This worked fine until I started
messing around with making some columns into presenting calculated
values only. Since I didn't need to save the data in those columns
to any file I started using the dgData-property to only save & load
specific fields instead.
The problem is that now I lose my special characters. They simply do
not appear in the text. They're still there in the text file, just
not in the "importedData"-field and thus neither in the datagrid. I
have no idea why my first solution suddenly stopped working. The
text file is in the "UTF-8"-format.
Does anyone out there have any good ideas of how to work with text
with special characters? Or perhaps you can point me toward a
previous thread with useful info. Right now I know nothing about
character encoding except that they make my life more difficult..
sigh.
Thanks,
Fredrik Andersson
