Hi everyone!!!Actually I’m having some problems with the JS API (in conjuntion with accented vowels and other special chars) when I’m reading the content of a .txt file. My code opens a file that is placed in an Alfresco Space, like:var file = companyhome.childByNamePath(“NAME OF THE TXT FILE”);Then

Finally I’ve found a solution. The problem is related with the encoding of the file: if you update a plain txt to the system via CIFS (like I was doing), it takes as default the encoding UTF-8.

Then if you want to process it with symbols like accents and other special chars, the best that you can do is encode the file as “windows-1252” before processing the file.

If you add this modification to the previous code, it will look as:

var file = companyhome.childByNamePath(“NAME OF THE TXT FILE”);

file.properties.content.encoding = "windows-1252";

var content = file.content;
var doc = companyhome.childByNamePath(“NAME OF THE DOC FILE”);
doc.properties[“NAME PROPERTY”] =content;
doc.save();

See ya,
