Hi,
If I look at the folder in question in the finder is says "Blank &
Jones", and if I select the file in iTunes and do a "Show File in
Finder" then it takes me to the file ok.
However, when I read the Database file the weird characters are
present. At a Guess I'd say there was a non-showing character after
the & which is being interpreted as #38; As far as I can tell this
is the only file that has this problem so I'm tempted to just write
it off as one of those things. I'm a bit worried in case it comes
back to bite me though.
Just did a search on the database and *wherever* there is an
ampersand "&" character is is followed by #38; This MUST point to
something! Just not sure what!
I am looking into this a bit deeper now.
All the BEst

However I now have a another weird problem, I have a field that
represents a file path, in this case the path is:
/Users/Dave/Music/iTunes/iTunes Music/Blank & Jones/Addicted
To Trance (Disc 1)/11 DJs, Fans And Freaks.mp3
However a "if there is a file" fails on this path. When I look I
can't see the & in the file name. I'm guessing it's something
to do with UTF16 vs UTF8 or something, but I'm not sure how to
resolve it. The database I am writing is set to UTF8 which AFAIK
is the only option for SQLite.
Any ideas what how to overcome this problem?
1) Is the & part of the filename?
2) Can you type the filename "by hand"
3) Do you need the ENTIRE filename or is the "/Users/Dave/Music/
iTunes/iTunes Music/" part common to all the files? If it's
common, you might consider saving this part in a separate variable.
4) If you look at the htmlText (you might have to put the path
into a field variable to do this, is the & there?
5) This might be an OS issue (i.e., the OS is playing with the
displayed text). Have you tried getting the length of the string
before and after putting it into the field? If it's translating
the code & into a single character, the displayed length should
be shorter than what you've typed (by 4 characters I think).
6) Just for my own curiousity, what IS &?
