How do you preserve the accents of a dragged text?

Hi all,
I have a card with a field where you can drag a file or drag some text from another application (e.g. Text Wrangler). The text is html code and you get plain text.
Well, when I drag a html file all works great, but when I drag the same text from the file the accents are missing.
I place here the code stripped from non-related parts. Hope to not removed important things.
Specific code:
Code: Select all
Case A. Dragged html file
if "files" is in keys(the dragData) then put last item of line 1 of filesPathList into theFilePath
put URL ("file:" & theFilePath) into textToProcess
Case B. Dragged html code
if "text" is in keys(the dragData) then put (the dragData["text"]) into textToProcess
Common code
Code: Select all
set the htmlText of the templateField to textToProcess
put the text of the templateField into fixedText
reset the templateField
set the unicodeText of field "outputField" to uniEncode (fixedText, "UTF8")
Any small or great help or info will be greatly appreciated

This is as it appairs if I drag the file over the field (you can see that the accented letters are missing):
Code: Select all

iPod
iPhone

iTunes

I hope others can help

Thank you jmburnod,
I think the great difference here is in those two lines:
Code: Select all
put URL ("file:" & theFilePath) into textToProcess
put (the dragData["text"]) into textToProcess
Maybe the accented letters are missed when putting the dragData in variable... who can say...

OK, I done some more tests and learnt that the dragData text is already accent-compliant, instead the text I get from the file has to be fixed.
So, to solve the problem I use this for the text I get from file:
Code: Select all
set the unicodeText of field "outputField" to uniEncode (myText, "UTF8")
and I use this, from the text I get from dragData:
Code: Select all
put myText into field "outputField"
Thanks to all of you that have read the topic and tried to guess a solution!

try with ISOToMac function.
Example.
put ISOToMac (URL ("
http://yoururl.com")) into fld "field"
