and here is what i use to load data…

[added AppleScript Tags for ease of use – ACB]

set FileContent to (((path to home folder) & "rdiff-logs:local:" as text) & mydate & ":" & mytime & ".txt")
set FileContentTmp to FileContent as alias
set FileContentShow to read FileContentTmp
set contents of text view 1 of scroll view 1 of window 1 to FileContentShow

and i have tryed using this to, with same res


set line_1 to "test æ"
set line_2 to "test ø"
set line_3 to "test å"

set the_text to ""
set all_lines to {line_1, line_2, line_3}
repeat with i in all_lines
	set the_text to the_text & i & return
end repeat

What version of Mac OS X are on? What language do you use on your system?

Hello, im using Leopard, and im from Denmark, so danish…

#4

have you tried this?

set FileContentShow to read FileContentTmp as «class utf8»
#5

Yes, and if i use that i can’t build :confused:

#6

hmm - it should … I have tried it here and it loaded all scandinavian and german accents I tried.

an other way to load a UTF8 encoded text file into a text view was this:

call method "setString:" of myTextView with parameter (call method "stringWithContentsOfFile:encoding:error:" of class "NSString" with parameters {myFilePath, 4, null})
#7

uhm must be doing something wrong, dont know the call method

here a simple demo project showing both solutions …
