Damien GIRARD Hi Damien, Other than the earlier suggestions of htmlText and UTF-8, you can always change the encoding attribute at the start of your XML-file: ?xml version=1.0 encoding=ISO-8509-1? That's what we use at work to preserve special characters when exporting data from our PROGRESS databases. Hope this helped, Jan Schenkel.

Hi Damien, you can use some tricks. You can make a UTF-8 (unicode) enabled XML by setting it's encoding attribute to UTF-8, then pipe your unicode content to it. If you want this to display on Rev text fields then you need to set the unicodetext prop of the field, using put won't work. You can convert the diacreticals characters to their HTML entitities (by getting the htmltext prop of the field), escape the ampersand char and put the thing inside the XML, remember to convert back before setting the HTMLText prop of a field. You can create your own tagging routine (this is tedious, but it works). Cheers andre PS: did I helped?

Thanks, I will try (setting the UTF-8). Girard Damien PS: If this work, you helped me.

Re: Use french special caracters in an XML file.
I didn't understands. I encode characters with UniEncode, and I put them after in the XML database. Put in return, When I get what I have wrote in the database, I have got only the first char. For exemple, this text : toto, I have got only this written in the XML file t I think I have forget something.

The docs says that you should uniDecode your variable content before entering it into a XML Node... I think you might be happier by using the htmltext property... this will free you from unicode hell. This would work fine even if you pipe the contents of the xml database to a browser. cheers andre -- Andre Alves Garzia 2004 Soap Dog Studios - BRAZIL http://studio.soapdog.org ___ use-revolution mailing list use-revolution@lists.runrev.com http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
