Hi Klaus As I understand, the OS X shell assumes text is UTF-8 encoded whereas Livecode on OS X assumes text is MacRoman encoded. (I'm guessing you're running this on a Mac).
So you need to convert the UTF-8 to MacRoman. With LiveCode 6.6, I believe that involves converting first to "unicode" (actually UTF-16) and then to MacRoman. I took a quick look at Devin Asay's Unicode tutorial - http://livecode.byu.edu/unicode/unicodeInRev.php It seems you need to do something like this, assuming you have a "spare" field hanging around: set the unicodetext of field "temp" to uniencode(tResultFromMDFind,"UTF8") get the unicodetext of field "temp" put unidecode(it,"English") into tWhatIWanted I realise that the English seems a bit odd for German but I think it's a LiveCode synonym for what Unicode calls "Roman" languages. Hope this helps.
