Look up textEncode and textDecode in the dictionary. Text from or to a file needs to be decoded or encoded since LC 7.

Hi list,

I have an xml file with lots of non-western characters
(greek, arabic, japanese...). I need to convert these
data into sql requests to insert into a DB.
For each node, I need to pick only some attributes, so
I wrote a script that :
- opens the file as utf8
- processes each node
- writes a file as utf8 with the processed data.

My problem is that all non-western characters appear as
???? in the final file.
Should I use unidecode for each revXMLNodeContents ?
What am I missing ?

Thank you in advance.
jbv
