If you opened it first in a hex editor, wouldn't that show you the encoding?--Jonathan

Paul,
Thanks for your very comprehensive statement.
So, what is the best practice when reading a file in AppleScript that you did not write, and you do not have any authoritative information about its encoding?

- When you READ from a file, the reader must be use the SAME Unicode ENCODING, or you'll get strange results. Sometimes the reader can guess what the encoding is, sometimes not.
