10.4: List contents of .zip archives with Automator
Authored by: magnamous on Aug 02, '06 02:15:01PM

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:"

If your setting is already marked "Automatic" then try clicking the item in the list called "Customize Encodings List..." and choose the one marked "Western (ASCII)". Perhaps then the results will show up correctly.

Just FYI, though: generally it's best to keep the setting on Automatic. Otherwise, plain text files in other encodings won't show correctly. If yours doesn't work on Automatic, I have no idea what the problem might be.
