Hello to all!

I am attempting to read Ascii files into Scheme. For some reason unknown to me, accented letters (ExtendedASCII) are ignored.

I am using the following statements:


(read inFile) will properly read words with punctuation.

But lines like :

Lods: redevance féodale
Tourer: préparer pâte feuilletée 

will be read in as :

Lods: redevance fodale
Tourer: prparer pte feuillete 

Labelling of layers/channels/LayerGroups, in stand-alone scripts I have programmed, have shown no difficulties with accented letters.

What is missing from my code above?

Thanks in advance,

Nicolas Beaudet

P.S.

One big question is the actual encoding of your file. Is it ISO-8859-15 (where the accented French characters are encoded in one byte) or UTF-8 (accented characters are encoded on two bytes).

See attached ZIP for


using either encoding. More luck with one or the other?

Hi!
Converting the source file in UTF-8 has solved the reading of tokens!
Thank you so much.
