How do I import a text file in Hebrew?

[liveCode]

I try to import a text file in Hebrew but everything uses
This is the code I put:

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   answer file "" with type ("text files|txt|tTXT" & return)
   if the result = "cancel" 
   then exit mouseUp
   else
      put it into theFilePath
      put URL ("file:" & theFilePath) into fld "word"
   end if
end mouseUp

But Hebrew is becoming an unfamiliar language
It becomes something like this:

Try using RTFtext.

What it means?
How do I use it?

RTF = Rich Text Format

I wrote my simple Hebrew statement in LibreOffice and saved it is RTF format.

I mentioned RTF as a possibility in an earlier posting on the same
topic.

But I want to import TXT files only and not RTF

[richmond62]

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   put empty into fld "ff"
   wait 10 ticks
      answer file "Choose a TXT file to import"
   if the result = "cancel" then
       exit mouseUp
   else
      set the text of fld "ff" to URL ("file:" & it)
   end if
end mouseUp

No obvious problems round here.

Nothing OBVIOUSLY wrong with your script either.

I think you should check the format of the file you want to import carefully.

It does not work
And the type of file is plain text

Maybe that's something to do with Windows.

All my work is using MacOS.

Is it possible for you to send me the file in ZIP format?

That's your LiveCode stack.

Can you send me your TXT document?

I wonder if you are using a Unicode compliant Hebrew font.

HOWEVER: that is NOT the TXT file you posted a picture of in your
original posting.

Spot-On, Klaus.

At least 2 people weren't paying attention, and 1 of them was me.

Though I'd be interested to know why I was having no problem with my Hebrew document.
