Hi Devin,
This doesn't work for me (Mac OS X 10.4.8, Rev 2.7.8).
The # is replaced by n instead of n-umlaut.
Right, after I sent this message, I discovered that the first # in
the field does not get replaced by the n-umlaut, only an n. It works
for every other # after the first one. (Go figure!) Here's a
workaround that worked for me:
on mouseUp
get "#"&fld "poundfld"
put numToChar(110) & numToChar(204) & numToChar(136) into tChars
replace "#" with tChars in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
delete char 1 to 2 of fld "result"
end mouseUp
Does this work for you?
Thanks for keeping me honest!
Devin
Signe,
You can still do it without one of these methods. Let's take your
case as an example. Say you have a field "poundfield" that
contains your text with # for each n-umlaut. Now create another
field, say field "result", and set its textFont to a unicode font
as in #1 of my first post, below. Now create a button with the
following script:
on mouseUp
get fld "poundfld"
replace "#" with "nÃà" in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
end mouseUp
Barring any automatic Mac to PC character substitutions (by Rev or
by your mail client,) this should result in the #'s in your
poundfield being replaced by the character you want. If it doesn't
work as posted here, the three characters in the 'with' part of
the replace statement are ASCII-110 ASCII-204 ASCII-136. So you
could generate them reliably by doing this:
on mouseUp
get fld "poundfld"
put numToChar(110) & numToChar(204) & numToChar(136) into tChars
replace "#" with tChars in it
set the unicodeText of fld "result" to uniencode(it,"UTF8")
end mouseUp
Hope this saves you from a kludge. ;-)
