Hello!
I would like to export strings of text containing extended
ascii characters, with Macintosh encoding. The following
code works for most characters:
Export["outputfile.txt", myString,
"Lines",
CharacterEncoding -> "MacintoshRoman"]
but it gets the following four greek letters wrong:
1) lower case pi, which turns up as literal \[Pi]
2) capital omega, which turns up as literal \[CapitalOmega]
3) capital delta, which turns up as literal \[CapitalDelta]
4) lower case mu, which turns up as literal \[Mu]
Capital sigma and capital pi come out correct, though.
What can I do, other than hand-editing the resulting file?
My version is "4.1 for Power Macintosh (November 2, 2000)".
Thanks in advance for any help!
