I wonder what the data would look like if you used a shell() command (or some
other non-LC-code means - via a process maybe) to read it. Like so:
on mouseUp
answer file "Import Password Text File" with type "Text|txt"
if it is not empty then
switch the platform
case "Win32"
replace "/" with "\" in it
put shell("type" && quote & it & quote) into fSource
break
default
put shell("cat" && quote & it & quote) into fSource
break
end switch
examineImport fSource
else
exit mouseUp
end if
end mouseUp

Phil,
Binfile doesn't make any difference. I did monkey with the unicode settings and
they were unpredictable. For 8bit unicode the text all came in as special
characters. If the text file was 16 bit then it looked OK except it didn't
parse correctly into the table. Some of the cells had both their information
and the next one in the same cell.
Of course I also don't know how to tell what the file is and I think most files
are 8bit.
Gee, this is so close but I'm stumped.

Hi Bill,
What happens if you get the file using "binfile" instead of "file"? And then
you might have to monkey with unidecode() or something. I bet Devin Asay can tell you in his sleep.
Seems to me "binfile" would prevent any char translation, though it would also
prevent line-ending translations.

Thanks to the beta testers they discovered a problem that I don't know how to
fix…unicode.
If the text file contains german umlaute ü,ö,ä. And these characters are not
imported correctly. The ü (u umlaut) for example becomes √º
Here is the code:
on mouseUp
answer file "Import Password Text File" with type "Text|txt"
if it is not empty then
put "file:"& it into vPathToFile
put URL vPathToFile into fSource
examineImport fSource
else
exit mouseUp
end if
end mouseUp
on examineImport vPasswords
put vPasswords into field "fPasswords"
end examineImport
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Bill Vlahos

I'm looking for people to test the import of passwords into InfoWallet from
tab-delimited or comma-delimited(csv) text files. These would be files exported
from whatever existing password management program you might be using.
If you are interested and don't already have a license for InfoWallet, simply
download the trial version from the web site and send me an email so that I can
send you the new update. The trial version doesn't have any limits on the
number of records so it will work fine for this test.
As an incentive to test this today (January 22, 2012), anyone who can test and
send me the results today will get a free license for InfoWallet.
