I can read text files created by Nisus Writer Express in both Rev 2.1.2 and 2.2.
This is very encouraging and I am most curious to know how you manage to do this. I am able to read text files created by AbiWord, AppleWorks and MS Word but NWE files continue to elude Revolution's detection. (The names of these files do not contain any special characters.)
I have the same question as Sarah. Is the problem not being able to see the file in the file selection dialog, or not being able to read any data from the file?
If it's the former, then don't specify a file type when using the "answer file" command. (The scripts in my last mail should both work.)
If you can't read any data from the file, then I can't help, but I'd check the script that reads the file.
I've tested the following ways of encoding the NWE file (the file format is uniformly "Text"):
Automatic UTF-8 ASCII Unicode Western (Mac OS Roman)
Nothing works. How do you save your files?
I don't use Nisus Writer Express regularly. (I keep updating in the hope that it will one day reach its former glory of Mac Classic days.) But for this test, I saved using "automatic". But I noticed some strange behavior. After saving as text and then editing a little (adding styles, etc) and then doing a regular save, the file wouldn't show from answer file in Rev when using "TEXT" as the file type. But this only happened once. I tried repeating the procedure and this time it showed. It looks like there are may be some gremlins in the way Nisus sets the file type on saves.
