Tap.Applescript vs french accents
Aug 13 2013 | 11:02 am
Hello
Here is the problem : trying to catch infos from songs playing in Itunes via an applescript played by tap.applescript in max, I can't receive accented vowels (you know we have some in french…)
The script by itself works well in AppleScript Editor and the accents are ok in the result window.
May be the tap object is not build to deal with this.
I tried a lot of thing but none worked.
Do you have a clue ?
Thanks
Charles
the script is joined
the test patch is here :
- Aug 13 2013 | 11:06 amThe Script did not follow for security reasons I zip It and voilà :

I could find that they have some weird ascii codes (136 with atoi but -113 with toascii for example !). I used a combinaison of atoi + regexp + itoa to recover the original letters It works for the french accents at least - I mean àáâäçèéêëîïôùúûü You can customize the patch for the ones in your own mother's tongue.That's better than nothing… waiting the tap object to speak foreign langage or UFT8 at least (but I don't know if that's the problem)
