Question

Non breaking space AppleScript

I'm replacing text from text frames within an illustrator file. Strings are pulled from an XML.

My problem is that the strings within the XML contain non-breaking spaces that are not carried over Illustrator when writing the text in the text frames.

Is there a way to write non-breaking spaces from AppleScript to text frames in Illustrator?

Thanks!

What if you put in unicode string "\u00a0" ?

Thanks for your reply!

I tried your suggestion but it just printed the string "\u00a0" in the text frame.

Before I also had tried   and   but this just printed a regular space.
