Is this really true? My impression is that characters >128 are different in the "ASCII" character sets on Mac and Windows.

Hi Derek,

Even if you are using diacritics, as they are called, there is no reason to use unicode. Only if the text you are exporting contains Arabic, Polish, Bulgarian etc characters, which are not in the ASCII character set, you might need to use unicode.

Does your text contain characters that are not in the ASCII character set? If you are exporting as XML, you may have to use the htmlText instead of plain text.

Best,

Mark

I'm having a little trouble importing a tab deliminted text file
(saved from excel), having rev organize it, then saving it out as an
xml file.
The import and text manipulation works just fine, but when it comes
time to export the data out to text files, all the foreign characters
(accents, umlauts, etc,) get converted to squares or questions marks.
Initially I tried straight open, write, and close file statements.
Then I tried unicodeText and uniEncode/uniDecode statements and it's
still a no go.
Is there a tech sheet somewhere that's explains more about how runrev
deals with special characters?
Any insight would be appreciated!
