No German Umlaut Characters when reading from text file



No German Umlaut Characters when reading from text file klammerauf
1/24/2005 10:06:03 PM
flash data integration: According to tech note tn_14143 it is necessary to convert special characters
in text files in URL encoded form.

This works for some special characters like the trademark sign (%E2%84%A2) or
some nonspecial characters like 'a' (%61). But it doesn't work for german
umlaut chars like %E4, %F6 or %FC.

See http://formeater.de/7117/7117_trebuchet2.png

Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I can answer this by myself.

It is important to choose the right charset in the underlying HTML file.

For example:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

There are no german umlaut characters if the charset is for example "koi8-r"
