At the moment I have the following apple-event which works fine: $evt = AEBuildAppleEvent("TECx", "Conv", typeApplSignature, "MACS", 0,0,"'----':ã$stringä,'frmE':ã$incodeä, 'toE ':ã$outcodeä"); (wrapped for easy reading) Now, I wan't to make the text $string safer with TEXT(\@) or TEXT(@), but cannot figure out how to do it. $incode and $outcode don't need to be made save. I would be happy for any hint. Thanks, --Andreas Marcel ***** Want to unsubscribe from this list? ***** Send mail with body "unsubscribe" to mac-perl-request@iis.ee.ethz.ch
