Hello, I have a file exported from an older genealogy program A, which I want to import into another genealogy program B. Program B is pretty new and modern and is supposed to support Unicode.
When directly importing that exchange file, all special chars get corrupted in program B. When reading the export file into a field of a LC 8.0 program and writing the field with LC via: put fld "Out" into URL "file:myFile" and importing that LC file into program B the special chars are still corrupted. My thinking was, that in the moment, you get data into a field in LC 8.0, LC converts it automatically into Unicode and so it would be also Unicode, when writing this field into a file. I am also using UltraEdit as an editor. Opening the exported file I can convert the data "from ASCII to UTF-8 (Unicode editing)". If I do that with the exported file, all special chars are fine, when importing the file into program B Do I still have to convert data with LC 8? Where am I thinking wrong? Thanks for a push into the right direction Tiemo _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
