Thanks to all who replied. I finally got it right using UTF8.
Just one more question about this - does Rev unicode support not handle case
sensitivity? Or is there something I need to do? My scripts won't match a word
if it is capitalized, but my no- unicode apps of course do.
It's not a huge tragedy if caseSensitive = false doesn't work, but it would be
nice.
While I was experimenting with workarounds I came upon something that I am very
curious about. I was trying to handle this forward filter text matching by
first putting the text in question into invisible fields. The actual script is
matching texts stored in custom properties. I know using text is much slower
but I found something crazy slow. In a script of about 600 lines, this is the
relevent part;
if item 16 in Q <> empty then
repeat with g = 16 to 22 step 2
put item g in Q into fld "expTemp"
repeat with i = 1 to the num of words in fld "expTemp"
if item 1 in Q is not in eOutput then
put empty into fld "wordTemp"
select word i in fld "expTemp"
copy
--select after text of fld "wordTemp"
paste
delete char 1 to 2 in fld "wordTemp"
if char 1 to tNum in fld "wordTemp" = fld "search" then
put item 1 in Q & tab & item g in Q & tab & g & cr after eOutput
end if
end if
end repeat
end repeat
the inactive line --select after text of fld "wordTemp"-- causes glacial
slowness when it is active. When it is inactive, the entire script runs to the
end in about 220 milliseconds, but of course doesn't deliver the desired
result. This is in comparison to about 35 milliseconds using your unicode
suggestions, which I am very pleased with. But if that line is active, I do get
the desired results, but it takes 34 SECONDS!
So out of curiousity, how can inserting the cursor in an empty field add 34
seconds to a simple script? The script is unusable of course, but for future
reference, just wondering.
Cheers,
Lars
