Hi All,
I am still working on this after a night of sleep. The original Author used
Applescript and it has been a while since I have worked with AS.
I think that he is calling this when he writes out the file.
set the target_file to the target_file as text
set the open_target_file to open for access file target_file with
write permission
if new_file is true then write (ASCII character of 254) & (ASCII
character of 255) to open_target_file
write this_data to the open_target_file starting at eof as Unicode
text
close access the open_target_file
return true
I think that my problem when I write new files back out is that I don't
write an ASCII Characters and I am using UTF versus Unicode.
How do I write an ASCII 254 and ASCII 255 at the beginning of the NSString
that I am putting in the file I want to be read back in at a later date? '
