I have some output from a shell script that is supposed to be regular
text and if I move it into most text editors, it looks, feels and
acts just like regular text. But apparently it's not. I need to
move the text into a window of Microsoft Word (version 10), and it's
producing errors like "Can't set every text of window 1 to ..."
What's going on here?
If I convert each character first to an ascii number and then back to
an ascii character, then it works fine, but that's not practical.
Is there an easier way to coerce this string to a regular ascii
string?
My script says:
set str to result ---result of shell script
tell application "Microsoft Word" to set text of window 1 to str
