Hi everyone,

I have a little problem in importing xml data to filemaker.

On macintosh (Mac OS 10.35), when I try to import the data I have this following error message

"exception occurred Type: Transcoding exception

Message Could not create a convertor for encoding : iso-8859-8"

If you have an idea/solution please tell me ..

Thanks

I don't know the technical details about encoding. But I don't see "iso-8859-8" in the rather extensive list in the text editor BBEdit. The closest is "iso-8859-7", which is Greek. It could be a foreign language; it could be something common on Windows (but I don't think so).

So, what to do? You could get a real text editor, such as the free TextWrangler (BBEdit's little brother, http://www.barebones.com ). Then you could see and change the encoding of the XML file.

You could also try explicity changing the character code in the XSL stylesheet, which you'd need to translate it to FileMaker fmpxmlresult format (you can't just import someone else's plain XML straight). I don't know if this would work though. Are you using an xsl file?

XML is often "utf-8", to avoid these kinds of problems. But people often ignore this.

Umm, The problem is a little bit different.

The error message is occurring only on macintosh (Mac OS X).

On PC it's works....

Perhaps because it's WINDOWS encoding?

;D

Actually, a google for "iso-8859-8" reveals HEBREW

Can you actually read the XML in a text editor on OSX?

What do you have in your XSLT for encoding? What do you have for your languages in OSX? Lots of lovely variables here!!

you're right.

The language is "hebrew"

I attached the XSLT file (renamed to .txt)

the link of the XML is

here

If you can take a look , It will be nice.
