Hi list,
I have a serie of text files in UTF-8 format for which I need to do some
processing in LC,
and then save to a single text file also in UTF-8.
I am using the following code :
open file tpath for UTF8 read
read from file tpath until EOF
close file tpath1
--put it into tfile
put textdecode(it,"UTF-8") into tfile
-- processing
open file tpath2 for UTF8 write
write liste_credits to file tpath2
close file tpath2
If I use "put it into tfile" instead of "put textDecode...", the text
content is full of typical
gibberish (such as "√¶" instead of "æ").
I thought the latest LC versions could process UTF-8 natively. So why is
"textdecode" necessary
to obtain special characters in their true form ?
Thank you in advance.
