Great. Tried to do that before, but for some reason I didn't go quite far enough. <thinking-out-loud> (For some reason, I don't do well with "natural language" programming. I seem to have trouble knowing how far to let the computer think for me, or something.) Now I have the vicious cycle I expected -- can't load the text file in TextEdit for some reason. (I'll check with Hexdump in a minute.) Once I load it in Project Builder, I'm stuck, because Project Builder assumes that the encoding was UTF-8 unless there's a BOM. No way to tell it it was Shift-JIS. Let's see, there was a trick that worked for fields I saw on the Japanese users list, let's see if I can dig that out. Or maybe use this as an excuse to buy BBEdit. </thinking-out-loud> Oh, and thanks, Klaus, Malte, and Fumitaka. I'll check those scripts tomorrow, because I'm going to need a fair amount of automation with this conversion. <off-topic> > What does Alpsgiken do?

Mostly, it's electronics design work, but we have a software group that's busy defining itself and getting into the black. (Used to have two groups, and I guess I need to change my sig, as soon as I find out what the English version will be.) I've been helping with web apps in php and perl, but we have a customer that has some Hypercard stacks, and I'm the designated Mac guy, I guess. </off-topic> -- Joel Rees, programmer, Systems Group Altech Corporation (Alpsgiken), Osaka, Japan http://www.alpsgiken.co.jp _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
