Foreign characters in file names

[index at kenjikojima.com]

Hi Thomas,
If you are on Mac OS, you can use AppleScript.

This is for two bytes file name of UTF8 text.

on mouseUp
   put "choose file with prompt" &quote&quote&return into asScript
   put "set openFile to result"&return after asScript
   put "try"&return after asScript
   put "read openFile" & return after asScript
   put "on error"&return after asScript
   put "close access openFile"&return after asScript
   put "display dialog "&quote&"Error is occured."&quote&return after asScript
   put "return"&return after asScript
   put "end try"&return after asScript
   do asScript as appleScript
   put the result into tUTF8Text
   delete char 1 of tUTF8Text
   delete char -1 of tUTF8Text
   set the unicodeText fld 1 to uniencode(tUTF8Text,UTF8)
end mouseUp
