Hi, all. I'm stymied in my efforts to save a field of Unicode text to a text
file. I'm working with Windows (7) and the latest version of Livecode.
The field has Unicode text in it which which I can readily copy and paste
into Word and Wordpad and preserve all of the Unicode characters. But if I
try to save it to a binfile I simply cannot get the correct text.
If I code
put the unicodeText of fld "x" into url theFile
it seems to not recognize that the fld is already Unicode text, and outputs
each character with a space after it as if it has tried to create Unicode
text from simple text. So the file is garbage.
But if I code
put fld "x" into url theFile
I also don't get the Unicode characters rendering correctly in a textfile.
What alternative is there to output this Unicode text to a Unicode text
file? Thanks.

Outputting (Save) as RTF text is rather a good way to go.
