Hello Jan,
Tahnks for your help.
I tried the ISOToMac() function and it works well with BBEdit files
saved in
Unix/Win format... but it also converts standard Mac text files :(
So is there a way to know how the text file was encoded before
applied the
ISOToMac function ?
Something like:
open file myTextFile for read
read from file until EOF
If RevolutionTellsItsWinEncoded(it) then
get ISOToMac(it)
else
-- do nothing, don't translaste it
end
Zax,
The first thing that comes to mind is to check the line ending
characters of the text file somehow. If lines end in LF (ascii 10)
the file is *nix; if they end in CR (ascii 13) they are Mac; and if
they end in CR+LF (ascii 13 + ascii 10) they are DOS/Windows. See the
dictionary for the return, lf and cr constants for more information.
