Ah, one more thing...I'm sure we've been here before on this forum but I've been away from LC for a while.
The 'unicode crapola' issue seems to show up in text files imported from Filemaker. These text files look fine in Textmate, but I always see this distortion when imported into a livecode field. I see this in my own stack creations and modTableField as well. I think the major problem is the 'fancier' versions of the Quote characters and the apostrophe, although there might be other characters. I guess I have to "filter" the input. Is there a function that 'simplify' or 'stupify' the text to look right in LC? Or do I have to search and replace 'certain' ones to fix the problem. Sorry if this has been covered a multitude of times... I have to re-import the text back into Filemaker at some point so it has to work round-trip. thanks sqb On Thu, Feb 25, 2016 at 4:06 PM, stephen barncard < stephenrevoluti...@barncard.com> wrote: > I'm exporting data out of Filemaker because I'm doing a tape archive and > need to do things like a multiple non-contiguous search of all records from > a dialog box and FM won't do that.
