saving unicodetext

[scotttyang]

So here, I am finishing a Chinese App and wanting to save the unicode in a fld to a .txt file, and I just get gibberish...eg

 set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Documents")
put the unicodetext of fld "scrollfield" into URL ("file:mylist.txt")

or

 set the defaultFolder to specialFolderPath("Documents")
  set the unicodetext URL ("file:mylist.txt") to the unicodetext of fld "scrollfield"

and the file won't save.

Any ideas of my syntax that won't let me save unicode field into a .txt file?

Hi Scott,

Try this:

Code: Select all

put uniDecode(the unicodeText of fld "scrollfield", "utf8") into URL ("file:mylist.txt")

And when it's time to read, don't forget to uniEncode the content first.

Hope it helps...


Best,

that would have taken me another 10 hours just to figure that one out! thanks!
