Thanks for this. If I set the file as ISO-8859-1, it works. However, is there a way I can write these foreign characters whilst keeping the file UTF-8?

If so, how do I do this? If I add the UTF-8...

Thanks for the responses.

Cheers Kheun, that's helpful.

What I need is a little more complicated than that though, because the two absolute paths will not always be on the same branch. For example, I might pass...

Okay Andreas, thanks.

If anyone has already written anything like this, it would be a real help if you could show me the function.

For example,...
