character encoding question
Posted: Tue Oct 20, 2009 11:57 pm
In Czechoslovakia, the "Application Data" folder on Windows XP is called "Data aplikacÃ". So, when we get specialfolderpath("26"), the path looks something like this:
C:/Documents and Settings/Username/Data aplikacÃ/OurFolder/
In Rev, all works fine. But when we create a regular text batch file:
put tCommands into URL ("binfile:" & theBatchFileLoc())
the Czech character is transformed into this:
C:/Documents and Settings/Username/Data aplikacÌ/OurFolder/
and the system cannot find the path.
Obviously we are messing up the character encoding when we write the text file and the (one character, in this case) is changed. Has anyone run into this or know how to preserve character encoding in our text file?
