safari i've wrote a script in order to identify and copy text from html
source.


but there is a trouble with source coming from this kind of site:
http://www.lastampa.it/redazione/cmsSezioni/economia/ 200707articoli/24000girata.asp


When i try to get text from html, the "'" become "?"
Example

tell application "Safari" to copy (source of front document) to testo
set dadove to (matchPos of (find text "<div class='articologirata'>" in
testo)) + 29
set findove to matchPos of (find text "</div>" in testo starting at dadove)
set body to (extract string testo from dadove to findove)

Didn't see the problem here, but at a guess you're using the Satimage osax which isn't Unicode-aware, so any characters that can't be represented in your system's primary encoding are converted to "?" instead. Try using a Unicode-aware alternative, e.g. TextCommands <http://osaxen.com/files/textcommands1.1.2.html>, and see if that fixes the problem.
or just use "ufind text" instead of "find text"
