Re: Writefile illegal characters ?
This WebDNA talk-list message is from 2004
It keeps the original formatting.
numero = 60583
interpreted = N
texte = > [Writefile TéST.txt]TEST[/Writefile] Just because the filesystem supports extended ASCII characters doesn't mean that all applications will (or even need to). In particular, the character you use above is not portable (since it depends on a particular character mapping). If you typed that same %E9 on a machine using a German or Russian character set (non-unicode I mean), it would be something completely different. You could try using a Character Entity Reference: [Writefile [UnURL]TéST.txt[/UnURL].txt]TEST[/Writefile] but I wouldn't expect that to work either. I18N (Internationalization) is perhaps the hardest thing to get right, apart from correctly handling L10N (Localization)...
