Problem here is that one of your unicode characters may contain the newline
character and therefore Rev is returning the wrong line offsets (because the
chunk stuff is still working in ASCII mode). Support for unicode chunks is
planned in the near future but you can look at 'Unicode Text Manipulation
Samples' in the developers contributions library for sample scripts to roll
your own unicode compatible parsing routines.
I would also suggest for this sort of things getting the unicodetext of a
field, modifying it, and then resetting it.
Thanks Tuviah. I downloaded the stack and using the functions from the stack now have the text inserting on the correct lines:
put uniEncode (tNewMovieName & tab & pMoviePath, "Japanese") into tNewLine
put unicodeText of field "movieList" into tMovieList
put CountUnicodeLines (tMovieList) + 1 into tNextLine
if (tNextLine > 1) then put uniEncode (return, "Japanese") after tMovieList
put tNewLine after tMovieList
set unicodeText of field "movieList" to tMovieList
To parse shift JIS files, and get as unicode you can useAlso, how do I get the proper encoding to use for a string which I get from answer file? My system is English but the string has Japanese encoded characters and it appears it has to have the language setting as Japanese when encoded?
put uniencode(textoffile,"japanese")
Okay, but how do I determine what to do at runtime? On my system I have three different file names that I am testing with:
1) All english characters 2) All japanese characters 3) Uses european characeters (�)
If I use uniEncode (myfileName, "Japanese") then cases 1 and 2 work but not 3.
If I use uniEncode (myFileName, "UTF8") then cases 1 works but not 2 and 3.
If I use uniEncode (myFileName, "UTF16") then cases 1 and 3 work but not 2.
So how do I determine which encoding to use on a string so it displays correctly? Or is there an encoding that I am missing which converts correctly every time? I am still very new to unicode so I apologize if I am missing something obvious.
Thanks,
