The actual command I used was <set the unicodetext of fld "ProcessedFile" to uniencode(fld "ProcessedFile, "UTF8")> (extraneous "the" in my first example) I had no problems with this. In fact, it processed a file with about 300,000 lines in just a few seconds. And then save the field much like this: > > put uniDecode( the unicodeText of field "Processed File", "UTF8" ) into > URL ("file:"&kFile2) > I tried some variations of this but was not able to save the file from within LC and still have the Kanji viewable in TextEdit. I guess you didn't read the part about teaching to the imbecile because the rest of your explanation was way over my head. But thanks for trying. I would still like to find a way to do this from within LC. -- Regards, Howard Bornstein ----------------------- www.designeq.com _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
