You are right.
I should be more specific but i was too tired with this problem over and over and even irc help didn t come successfull.
a) The new txt file is a normal txt file which i try to save normayll in windows as 'utf8' although something tells me it keeps saving it as 'iso-8859-7' or cp1253. The javascript has nothign to do with it. Its that i ahve this feeling that windows saves differenty the filenames and different the file names contents(encodings iam talking)
b) Characters like ? ?? ??? ? / ??? ? ???
c)The other files are .txt files i ceated in windows and then tranfered then to linux to transorm them form 'what_on_eartch_win_encode_them' => 'utf8'
d) The last file i had problem with was only created in xp and tried with wordpad to be saved as 'utf8' which i dont i beleive the contents saves ok in utf8 but the filename itslef saves in greek-sio
e) Page that i retrived the source is: http://www.adslgr.com/forum/archive/index.php/t-34485.html
Lets hope this helps, cause those bloody encodings and the way windows saves filenames and filename contents are giving me headaacke months now.
