Hi All, I have a utility that takes a text file saved by Apple's Mail, reads it and processes it. The problem is that if there are any weird characters in the original email, Mail saves it as UTF-16 (I think). This opens fine in TextEdit, but in Rev, I get the characters all spaced apart. e.g. instead of the email containing "Subject:", it contains " S u b j e c t : " which completely messes up all subsequent processing.
If I UniDecode the text, it comes good except for a weird character at the start which I can handle, but is there a neat way to detect the encoding of text before I start? I suppose I can just look for the word "Subject" and if it isn't there, uniDecode and try again, but it seems there should be a way to detect the encoding of the text itself. Does the weird stuff at the start give me any clues? Checking the ASCII codes, the text starts with ASCII 254, ASCII 255, space and then the first character of my text. Perhaps that's my answer, but will they always be 254 & 255 or does that vary with the encoding? Any ideas?
