One way would be to simply (and rather painstakingly!) build arrays (storable as customPropertySets) as look-ups for each code page, such that you could then do:

repeat for each char c in someText
  put codePage850[charToNum(c)] after someTranslatedText
end repeat

This might make for a useful library - the code page points are on Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850

Having said that, according to the docs (for numTChar())," On Mac OS systems this is normally the Macintosh character set; on Unix systems, this is normally ISO 8859; on Windows systems, this is usually Code Page 1252, a variant of ISO 8859."

So on Windows, you may not need to translate cp1252, and on Mac the macToIso() function may do the job.

Best,

Mark

Hi all,

anyone got a pointer how to read text in those formats and get it to display correctly? (including umlauts and stuff.)

Cp850, Cp437, Cp1252

All the best,

Malte
