using the openTextFile method of fileSystemObjectDate:
Thu, Mar 18, 2010 1:37:22 pmHi all,
I'm trying to use openTextFile, and I'm finding it has a parameter for
specifying the format of the file you want to read: either it's ascii or
unicode. when I try and read an ascii file having specified unicode, it
yields trash. And the reverse is true.
I'd like this to be able to work regardless of the type of encoding of the
file, does anyone have any suggestion as to how I can achieve this?
thanks.
Chip
