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}
I’m not too familiar with the use of AppleScript within XCode. So far
as the ObjC version goes, if you give a value of 1 for error, it will
fail; nil or 0 are OK.
- (void)applicationDidFinishLaunching:(NSNotification *)aNotification
{
NSString *some_text = @"你好";
NSString *file_path = @"/tmp/temp.txt";
[some_text writeToFile:file_path
atomically:1
encoding:4 /* or NSUTF8StringEncoding */
error:0 /* or nil */];
}
As regards the ‘call method...’ AppleScript, if you can’t resolve the
problem, you can always use the traditional way as below (tested and
verified). Whether you are using BBEdit or TextEdit to display the
files, either app will open in the default encoding you have specified
in your preferences. In BBEdit you can “reopen using encoding...”; in
TextEdit you will need to change your open and save prefs and then
reopen. You should not use a BOM with UTF-8 files, but if BBEdit (and
probably TextEdit) reads a BOM in a UTF-16.. file it will respect the
encoding. I recommend you set your default encoding in BBEdit to UTF-8.
script ASAppDelegate
property parent : class "NSObject"
on applicationWillFinishLaunching_(aNotification)
set _path to "/tmp/temp.txt"
set _text to "你好"
try
close access _path
end try
set _fd to open for access _path with write permission
set eof _fd to 0
write _text to _fd as «class utf8» -- or as unicode text (for
UTF-16)
close _fd
end applicationWillFinishLaunching_
-- ...
