Title: Writing to file as UTF8 with BOM ?
Hi,
I have an application that requires an import file encoded as UTF8 with a leading BOM.
After examining some working files with proper encoding in BBedit I have concluded that the BOM seems to consist of three characters, so I thought I could just concatenate those with the actual data and write to file, like this:
set myBom to ((ASCII character 239) & (ASCII character 187) & (ASCII character 191))
set myString to "Hej Hå"
set myCS to myBom & myString
set myTestFile to (open for access file "Macintosh HD:Users:richardr:Desktop:tjong.txt" with write permission)
write myCS to myTestFile as «class utf8»
close access myTestFile
However, neither that, nor any other combination I can think of seems to do the trick.
What am I missing?
Thanks in advance
// Richard
