Aw: $O6 - file import problem

["Stephan Wüseke"]

   Hi Mischa,

   did you try using FileOps (External Component)? You can specify the encoding
   here:

   Do oFops.$openfile(%%filepath)
   Do oFops.$readcharacter(kUniTypeUTF8,%%content)
   Do oFops.$closefile()

   Where "oFops" is a (local) variable from type object and subtype "FileOps"..

   HTH,

   Stephan

   Betreff: $O6 - file import problem
   Dear all,
   I want to import a csv file into Studio 6, however having trouble with the
   encoding. Its native format is UTF-8, however 'Read file as character'
   results in a strange looking Thai or Chinese character set when imported.
   $root.$prefs.$importencoding is set to kUniTypeUTF8
   When I convert the csv file to ANSI and try to import it (encoding set to
   AnsiCentralEuropean) Omnis crashes.
   Any help would be greatly appreciated!
   Mischa
