I have an Excel spreadsheet which contains Korean characters in who
knows what encoding -- I'm assuming it's UTF-8 since I can copy and
paste it into vim or textedit or whatever just fine. I can then
insert those characters into a database I know is UTF-8 and that works
just fine.
However, when I run the following script that presumably does the same
thing, I get all the Korean characters replaced by the letter "a". Is
there a way to force an encoding when copying or pasting with
AppleScript? Am I missing something else?
Thanks in advance
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
activate
open (choose file)
activate object sheet "Sheet1"
copy range range "A1:G1000" of active sheet
end tell
tell application "TextEdit"
activate
open (choose file)
tell application "System Events"
keystroke (the clipboard)
end tell
end tell
--
Jason
