The weird characters are the code for special characters in HTML

Browsers will decode these so the view of the page will see only
the single
character represented. Your program has to do the same thing as a
browser,
parse the file paths to detect and convert these codes.
Eric Chatonet wrote a web page tag cleaning routine that did just this
(quite a while ago). I cannot remember which stack it was, but
this would
be a repeat loop where a whole set of these html entities will be
converted.
Perhaps he will chime in and remind us.
Ken Ray has very good info on how to detect the platform and adjust
the file
path to work in Rev.

About half way down the page are some goodies
Thanks a lot, I took a look I'm not sure which article you are
referring to. Which section is it in?

Also, you should use the following:
if not(there is a file tPathFilename) then answer "ooops"
if not(there is a folder tFoldername) then answer "ooops"
Hope this is of more help. I thought you were trying to move data
in and
out of Sql.
I was and am, I thought the weird characters were caused when writing
to the database, but it turns out to be a PC/Mac issue.
