This is exactly what I've been dealing with for a week. You need two steps :
first check the platform and if it's Windows then run macToISO on the string.
After that your existing conversion to UTF8 should work.
Aha, good tip, thank you.
On reflection though I think I'm going to adopt a modified version of Peter's
suggestion; use HTML entities in the 'constant' string to be unambiguous but
readable, passing it through a function called "HTMLtoUTF8" so that bit of the
script looks clean - and then do a nasty dirty implementation of that
function, that just handles the two entities I currently care about and throws
an error if invoked on anything else.
I'm all about the elegance, me.
thanks to all who responded,
Ben
