Problem solved. When I looked in to the file, it's not unicode but a range of ANSI characters that not every app can render. Specifically not all email apps can render the characters between 0x80 and 0x9f - which is where the smart quotes fall (code page 1252). I've thrown together a C# app that ...

No problem. WeBuilder is such a terrific product that I'm not going to stress over something as trivial this.

Thanks

That's what I want to do - I was looking for a more automated way of doing it than scanning the text myself - it's inevitable that one or two errors will creep in when you do that kind of thing manually. I may well throw together a 'preview' prgram of my own that doesn't support unicode and copy ...

Will give it a try, thanks.

I'm using WeBuilder 2008 to edit htnml email documents. The original email is a Word document that is sent to me. I copy and paste (using PureText) the text from Word in to WeBuilder - that gives me the plain text that I then format. The problem is that Word uses "smart quotes" and fiddles around ...

Glad it works for you. I gave up in the end. Nothing I did would get it to work with multiple files selected, so I now start WeBuilder by right clicking on one and then drag and drop the rest of the files I want opened. I can only assume something wrong with my Windows set-up since no one else seems ...

Ok, something strange must be happeneing here. I added your debug option and creaed a new "edit with editor" option that calls your program to open an html file. When I select a single file and use this option, it opens in WeBuilder. I do not get a message from you. If I open several files, nothing ...

Just for info;

I just wrote a small test program and associated it with html files. If I pick a single file, my test program gets called. If I select more than one file, the test program isn't even run.

Thats for trying, but I got nowhere. If I fire off a single file, then it opens without problems. If I select five or six files, then I get the hour glass for a few seconds then the pointer returns, but no application starts or file opens. My guess is that Windows Explorer is doing something strange ...

There must be something screwed up on my PC then. I set-up the "edit" association to open using WeBuilder and still nothing happens. I looked at UltraEdit to see how it does it and that installs a specific shell extension, so I guess it's not as straight forward as a command association. It would be ...

It's not that kind of situation. When I first build a site, I build the home page and first product page by hand. That gets me the initial layout and allows me to tweak the style. Once I've done that, I switch to DreamWeaver to build the structure of the ste and generate templates, from which I ...

Having got over my initial "Ugh!" reaction, I can see how that would work and, as you say, it's better than nothing. Thanks.

If I right click on a single HTML file in Windows Explorer and select Open With WeBuilder, the file opens fine. If I select several files and then right click and select Open With WeBuilder, nothing happens; WeBuilder doesn't start and no files open. Anyone know how to get several files opened at ...
