I have an apex trigger that creates a text file on input of a PDF file.  It works fine except for one bit.

 

 

textbody = 'CODEPAGE:819'+' \r '+
'COMMENT: Begin Prolog'+' \r '+
'COMMENT: Customer Identifier – GFF'+' \r '+
 
Creates a textbody of 
 
 CODEPAGE:819 
 COMMENT: Begin Prolog 
 COMMENT: Customer Identifier â€" GFF 

 
As you can see.  '-' is producing a value of  –.  Search as I might on the forums, I can't find any reference to how to declare a Hyphen in a Textbody Call.

Got it.
 
changing 
 
 
'COMMENT: Customer Identifier - GFF'+' \r '+
 to
 
'COMMENT: Customer Identifier '+'-'+' GFF'+' \r '+
 Addressed the issue (though I'm not savvy enough to say why.  The spaces apparently get read by the Textbody method logic in a funny way.
