I've read all of the archived messages I could find looking for a way
to coerce the unicode text I'm getting from iTunes into plain ASCII.
After none of the many methods listed worked for me, I finally figured
out from Chris Nebel's message:
http://lists.apple.com/archives/applescript-implementors/2004/Feb/
msg00039.html
that when folks in those threads were talking about ASCII plain text,
what
they *really* meant was MacRoman (or some other extended encoding)
8-bit chars.
IS there any way within applescript (other than calling out to a python
or perl
script with 'do shell script' ) to coerce a unicode string into ASCII ?
I have an iTunes script which gets the artist of the current selection
( or playing tune ) and does a lookup at our music library, but the
search
doesn't like (for example) the o-with-circumflex in "Antônio Carlos
Jobim"
