Hi list
I've made a soft which create a texte file
The problem is that if this text file is saved on a Pc and then read
on a mac, some characters are not readable
How can I make a script that saves a text contained in a variable to a
text file with the same characters on mac AND on windows ?
Yves,
The problem is that Mac and Windows use different character sets for
characters > ASCII 127. The Mac's character set is called MacRoman and
Windows uses Windows-1252, which is nearly identical the the standard
ISO Latin 1 (8859-1).
Check out the macToISO and ISOtoMac functions in the dictionary. They
let you convert upper-ASCII characters so they display properly on the
current platform.
