Hello, list:
I'm writing a routine to import text from files that were generated
by a REALbasic app. I have a few questions about NSString and Unicode
and am hesitant to admit my complete ignorance of the subject.
Regardless, here goes! ;-)
1. I'm assuming UTF-8 (as in stringWithUTF8String:) is Unicode. Is this
true?
2. If I use NSString's "initWithContentsOfFile:", I assume whatever
encoding the text file was created with is what you get into the
NSString. Is this correct?
3. If I create an NSString based on the contents of an NSTextView, what
encoding IS it?
4. Assuming the text file's contents were anything but Unicode, how
would I convert it?
... the reason I ask is because I'm getting odd behavior (unpredictable
to the point that I can't yet even put an explanation into words) when
trying to work with these files after import until they're opened and
re-saved with an NSTextView. It took me a few days just to figure out
just what the problem *was*, let alone how to solve it. Any help would
be greatly appreciated.
