This is certainly NOT a problem that is specially linked to HyperCard. We have it always when importing any 8-bit data from old Macs. These are more generaly the specials of the extended Macintosh codeTable (here: char 173) and the differences to Latin-1 (or HTML entities, where ­ is ­ the optional hyphen) etc. "!=" is a good solution (as it is one out of the ASCCI 7-bit range). _______________________________________________ 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
