Hi all!
I am building an xml file and writing it out…
I have the following:
set txt_var to "<DAZzle Start=\"PRINTING\" Prompt=\"NO\" OutputFile=\"/" & order_id & "-OUT.xml\" Test=\"YES\" SkipUnverified=\"YES\">
<Package ID=\"1\">
<MailClass>" & mailclass & "</MailClass>
<FlatRate>" & flatrate & "</FlatRate>
<DateAdvance>1" & dateadvance & "/DateAdvance>
<WeightOz>" & weight & "</WeightOz>
<TotalPostage/>
<Stealth>TRUE</Stealth>
<Services DeliveryConfirmation=\"" & deliveryconfirmation & "\" InsuredMail=\"" & insured_mail & "\"></Services>
<Value>" & theValue & "</Value>
<Description>" & theDescription & "</Description>
<ToName>" & contents of data cell "recipient_name" of j & "</ToName>
<ToCompany></ToCompany>
<ToAddress1>" & contents of data cell "ship_address_1" of j & "</ToAddress1>
<ToAddress2>" & contents of data cell "ship_address_2" of j & "</ToAddress2>
<ToCity>" & contents of data cell "ship_city" of j & "</ToCity>
<ToState>" & contents of data cell "ship_state" of j & "</ToState>
<ToPostalCode>" & contents of data cell "ship_zip" of j & "</ToPostalCode>
</Package>
</DAZzle>
"
set filen to order_id & "-IN.xml" as string
set fileRef to (open for access file filen with write permission)
set eof of fileRef to 0
write txt_var to fileRef
close access fileRef
The problem is that when it runs, and I open it in BBEdit, it shows upside down question marks in front of EVERY letter including the spaces.
i copied the character and BBEdit shows it as \x00
How do i get rid of this PLEASE
thx
Jann
