@liveCode
You should read all replies carefully and ask if you don't understand them!

I tried the solution that was there but it did not help

Again . . .

Unicode compliance?

Name of font?

Version of Windows?

Hmmm, see attached screenshot!?

I downloaded yout text file, opened it with TextEdit on my Mac and imported it
into an LC field with my above mentioned script. Looks really OK to me.

How can I get the user to select the file?
I tried this code and it did not work ...

Code: Select all

on mouseUp
   answer file "file:"
   
put url(it) into tText
put textdecode(tText,"UTF-8") into fld 1
end mouseUp

Is this for mobile? Answer file and ask file don't work there.

On desktop you need to add the file designator:

Code: Select all

put url ("file:" & it) into tText

This works if the text in the file is in English but if it is Hebrew then it leaves the field blank

Did you try with your own test file you had posted -> טקסט לדוגמא.txt ? That worked for me as you can see in my posting.
What exactly did you script? Why are you always so miserly with infos?

Why are you always so miserly with infos?

Possible answers:

1. The OP wants other people to do their work for them.

2. They have a very limited understanding of computers and computer programming . . .

(think "what is RTF?")

I asked the OP to attach their original text file, and they did NOT, they attached something different.
