AW: Don't understand unicode handling

[Tiemo Hollmann TB]

Bonsoir Thierry,

thank you for the helpful link, with your help, I found the right
conversion, though I don't understand what is going on :)
For my issue the solution was not to use uniEncode() when importing the file
into LC, but just putting the file into a field.
But using uniDecode() when exporting it from LC.

I think my problem is that you don't see what type of coding a file has. If
you have to handle with unknown data, you just have to try the different
combinations of encode/decode/do nothing with the data, because a file has
no label "I am UTF-8".

Thanks
Tiemo

Hallo Tiemo,


from: http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4071/l/12304-how-do-i-use-unicode-in-rev


To import text from a UTF-8 file and display it in our stack we just need to
read it in, uniEncode() it and then display it as we learnt earlier.

*put* url ("file:greek.txt") into tUnicodeText

*set* the unicodeText of field 1 to uniEncode(tUnicodeText,"UTF8")

If we want to export text from our stack we simply go in the other direction

*put* uniDecode(the unicodeText of field 1,"UTF8") into tUTF8Text

*put* tUTF8Text into url("file:greek2.txt")



Guess it's what you need....


Regards,

Thierry
