Re: Help with file writing in Applescript ---weird characters

Easy! Your applescript is generating macwestern text, and you want it to output utf8. see the change to your script below.


Hope it helps, it helped me.

on write_to_file(this_data, target_file, append_data)
try
set the target_file to the target_file as text
set the open_target_file to ¬
open for access file target_file with write permission
if append_data is false then ¬
set eof of the open_target_file to 0
write this_data to the open_target_file as «class utf8» starting at eof
close access the open_target_file
return true
on error
try
close access file target_file
end try
return false
end try
