Hey Axel,
Many thanks!
If I knew all of that before it silently slipped through the splinters of my mind's eye. :)
Playing around a bit...
It's worth running `locale` in the Terminal for contrast:
LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_COLLATE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MESSAGES="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_MONETARY="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_NUMERIC="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_TIME="en_US.UTF-8"
LC_ALL=
* On my U.S. English System.
A couple of worthwhile pointers here.
do shell script "export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8; locale;"
It looks like this will solve some of the problems I've had from time to time.
`gsed` (4.2.2) handles this encoding issue without external adjustment:
set _text to "Bonjour « hello » world" do shell script "echo " & quoted form of _text & " | /opt/local/bin/gsed -r 's/[«»]/•/g'"
--> "Bonjour • hello • world"
I found a localization-sensitive method on one of the Alfred forums which should please Yvan.
do shell script " export LC_ALL=\"$(defaults read -g AppleLocale).UTF-8\"; echo " & quoted form of _text & " | sed -E 's/[«»]/•/g'; locale "
