Hi !
I download XML files from the Internet that are windows-1252 encoded. I
do not see how to specify for a field that the text is encoded this way
so that it displays correctly.
Certainly a newby question.
Thanks for your answer.

Hi Laurent.
If you want to display the readable text from these files in a Rev field
on a Mac (which I'm guessing is what you're doing), you can translate it
to Mac Roman using the isotoMac() function.
Despite this function's name (and despite what it says in the
dictionary), this built-in function converts from ansi (a.k.a.
Windows-1252) to Mac roman.
There is a nearly-symmetrical function MacToIso() for converting back again.
Be careful to only use these to convert user-readable text as it can
mess up certain of the low-ascii control characters that are sometimes
used as delimiters in data. You shouldn't find any of those in XML though.
