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?

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.
