I have the following routines which encode accented characters into their HTML entities. All works fine for example on an English system.

That's certainly not the reply you are expecting, but are you sure that it would not be better for you to switch to UTF-8? You would write your accented characters as they are, the only change is that you have to declare "UTF-8" as the encoding.


Here in France we do have big problems of accented characters like you have, and it has been a true delight when we were able to switch to UTF-8. I shall provide more details if you think you need some.

Furthermore, switching to UTF-8 makes it natural to switch (later, if you need so) to XML and/or XHTML.

Emmanuel,

Thanks for your reply...

But in Xcode, even if I set the format to UTF-8 for the applescript file in my project, the same problem occurs.
Am I missing something?
This problem only seems to occur when the user is on a Swedish system.


Regards,
Guy
