I'm afraid you were dreaming ;)
I'm aware of 2 third-party solutions
- Unicode Checker, a scriptable app: <http://earthlingsoft.net/UnicodeChecker/>
- has' TextCommands Scripting Addition:
<http://freespace.virgin.net/hamish.sanderson/index.html>
But I'm with Emmanuel: why not just write as «class utf8»? (You'll probably
still need to URL-encode though, which the above tools can do for you.)

I suspect you are thinking of the 'textutil' command, see 'man textutil'
in your terminal.

Built-in, no. As Emmanuel says, you can avoid a lot of the hassle by
using UTF8 (if that's an option); then you only have to encode &<>
(plus " and/or ' within attribute values). That said, you should
still use an osax/awk shell script/whatever to do the substitutions,
rather than a TID-based find-and-replace routine, since AS's list-to-
unicode-text coercions are buggy and frequently fail silently on non-
ASCII characters. e.g. For awk:
awk '{ gsub("&", "&"); gsub("<",
"<"); gsub(">", ">");
print }'
Not particularly fast if you're calling it lots of times via 'do
shell script', but will do for modest use. If you also need to encode
non-ASCII characters you should probably call into a Unicode-aware
language like Perl or Python and use that, although the additional
overhead will make it slower still.
On the osax/scriptable FBA front, you could use something like
TextCommands <http://osaxen.com/files/textcommands1.0.1.html>, which
includes a Unicode-aware 'encode HTML' command. Much faster than
using 'do shell script', though it's an FBA so not quite as fast as
an osax. I don't know of any Unicode-aware osaxen for converting text
to HTML entities, however, so if TextCommands isn't fast enough for
you then [unless you can find one] you might want to consider using a
different language - powerful, efficient text/markup munging is not
one of AS's fortes, unfortunately.

And of course if you use Smile you can use its encode / decode
entities commands and its encode64/decode64 commands as well.

Matt;
The following code...
tell application "FileMaker Pro Advanced" to tell document "Test"
to
tell table "Table1"
create new record
end tell
with a test database set up with two databases, two tables and two
layouts, each pair named "Table1" and "Table2" ...
creates a record
in Table2, not Table 1.
It doesn't seem to matter what I do, unlike many other operations
"create new record" only seems to work in the currently visible
layout.

Works !! Great !!
Simple and efficient.
OK, Emmanuel, You win !

kai probably nailed the end goal.
True that Yvan's previous reply left off the 'r', but that wasn't the
real problem.
It's going from AS date to shell date in seconds and then back to AS
to validate.
The following reports the same time OMM but it is WRONG:
set d to (current date)
set dstr to d as string
set istr to ((d - (time to GMT)) as «class isot») as string
set r to (do shell script "echo 'puts [clock scan {" & istr
& "}]' |
tclsh")
set t to (do shell script "date -ur " & r)
{dstr, t}
