HTML source code Non-English character issue

[ARAS]

Hello all,

When I use this code for getting the source code of a local html file, some of the Turkish words containing İ,Ç,Ğ,Ş letters becomes like ›,«,–

Code: Select all

put URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html"  into Field 1

Any ideas?

Instead of "file:" try "binfile:"

Instead of "file:" try "binfile:"

Hi FourthWorld,

Sorry for the late reply.
Unfortunately it didn't work

Try:

Code: Select all

set the unicodeText of fld "Field 1" to uniEncode (URL ... , "UTF8")

put URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html" into Field 1

Hi Marek,

Am I doing sth wrong? I've gotten an error says expression bad factor near ":/".

Code: Select all

set the unicodeText of fld "Field 1" to uniEncode (URL file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html , "UTF8")

Should be:

Code: Select all

set the unicodeText of fld "Field 1" to uniEncode (URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html" , "UTF8")

The direct path (not put into variable) should be inside quotes.

Thanks Marex,

The code works now, but now the instead of showing weird characters, it deletes those characters.

Check if your file is UTF-8 coded. Could you attache it (zipped)? For my UTF-8 text files it's working correct.

Hi Marek,

I have checked the html codes. I have seen this lines.

Code: Select all

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1254">
<meta http-equiv="Content-Language" content="tr">

Therefore, it is windows-1254 I believe.

Do you have any solution for windows-1254?

When I use this code, I get the letters "ç,ş,ğ" correct, but "ı" and "İ" disappears.

Code: Select all

 put URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html"  into Field 1
put ISOtoMAC(fld "Field") into fld "Field"
   

Marek, by the way, I am sorry. I was at work when I last reply. I can't upload the file because it is work related.

I know it would be much more easier to solve the problem.

ARAS, I'm sorry, but I have no idea how to work with windows-1254 charset. But I hope it's possible some conversion of such text to unicode, which is supported by LC.

Thank you Marek. I appreciate your help.

A couple of suggestions:

1) make sure the field you are putting the text into is using a font that can display the characters appropriately - i.e., a unicode font.

2) the documentation for the 'uniEncode' mentions 'Turkish' specifically as an encoding type - have you tried using that instead of 'UTF8'? The documentation page for the 'uniEncode' function is here:

http://livecode.com/developers/api/6.0. ... uniEncode/

3) If the file contains simple HTML, you may try using the HTMLText property, instead of the unicodeText - sometimes it's easier. The documentation for the 'htmlText' property is here:

http://livecode.com/developers/api/6.0. ... /HTMLText/

I hope this helps!

Hi icouto,

Thanks for the suggestions and links.

1. I changed my font to Calibri, which works with Turkish, but I didn't work.
2. uniEncode Turkish didn't work. It just puts different characters for Turkish characters

Code: Select all

put uniEncode(URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html","Turkish") into Field "Field"

3. I used the code below, it doesn't put the words properly(and still problem with Turkish characters)

Code: Select all

set the HTMLText of field "Field" to URL "file:/Users/Aras/Developer/detail.html"

if you can't send your work related html, so please send some other file, which also doesn't work in similar way. You can also edit your file so we can't see "secret" data.
