writing to file trouble Hi,
i'm having a problem trying to write text to a plain-text file. the thing is that the script works fine if there are no 'weird' characters in the text (in my case, Lithuanian characters). any clues?
part of the script:
var myFldrName = myDoc.filePath;
var myTextName = myDoc.name.split(".indd").join("_.html");
var myFile = File(myFldrName + "/" + myTextName);
var fulltext = "";
....
myFile.open("w");
myFile.write(fulltext + "
");
myFile.close();
thanks for help in advance.

Re: writing to file trouble What you need to do immediately after opening the file is set its encoding. This is described on page 541 of the InDesign CS2 Scripting Reference under File object properties/encoding with all the encoding details on page 553. Exactly which encoding you need might take some experimentation.

Re: writing to file trouble thank you Dave. but i only have InDesign Scripting Guide :/
Re: writing to file trouble Which version of InDesign are you using? If CS, look in that guide in the JavaScript section under "About Files and Folders".
