10.4: List contents of .zip archives with Automator
BIZARRE! When I invoke this automator action I get a textedit (or even Textwrangler) display with 'foreign' (as in japanees or gibberish). Even when I try and display the file in another application, except PathFinder the contents aren't ASCII. Has anyone else seen this? Do I have some issue with my deafult character set?

That's odd. You're the second person that has mentioned a problem like this. The only thing I can think of to check would be to look under TextEdit -> Preferences, and see what font is set as default for plain text files.

I'm also getting the chinese giberish. I tweaked the preferces for TextEdit to make the default text files and the encoding of text files to be Western-1. However, I'm still getting the giverish. Jumping to the command line I see:
That is not what i changed the default too, and even if it was, I would assume TextEdit should be able to read back in what it wrote. I'm a bit stymied as to what the problem could be. I'd like to use this method as this is the prefered way to do it. However, I found a work around. Steps 1 and 2 are mostly the same as above, except you change #2 to:
Another change I made (but I tested with your original unzip -l) was to use atool which makes this this automation more useful as the atools recognize a large amount of archive formats. (And yes, that was really the 666th command of that shell, I honestly didn't doctor that.)

The problem might be in TextEdit's preferences. I had that problem once when I had TextEdit set to force plain text files to open as UTF-8 instead of an automatically-chosen encoding. You might try changing the setting to automatic. To do it, hit command-comma in TextEdit, choose the "Open and Save" tab, and under the heading that says "Plain text file encoding", choose "Automatic" for the item marked "Opening files:" |
