Hi all,
I'm trying to bring some sense into a problem saving text files either in UTF8 or UTF16.
so I use either a
call method "writeToFile:atomically:encoding:error:" of someText with parameters {savePath, true, 4, 1}
or a
call method "writeToFile:atomically:encoding:error:" of someText with parameters {savePath, true, 16, 1}
Depending on OS and application which reads the file this either works or doesn't work.
For example I can open one of the text files in TextEdit and it shows up fine with all special characters, using another app special characters are screwed up (saving with UTF8)
Using UTF16 sometimes causes with some apps a total screw up of all characters while others work fine.
Any ideas for a workaraound. I've searched the web how to add a BOM to the files, but haven't found anything.
Any ideas out there?
Regards
Andreas
