Re: Getting TextEdit to Recognise UTF-8 Output [solved]

Bingo.  Completely and utterly solved.  Thanks Gus!

I was writing to the file with:

[[textStream dataUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] writeToFile:[sheet filename] atomically:YES];

Now, I'm writing with:

[textStream writeToFile:[sheet filename] atomically:YES encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding error:&error];

When using the latter, TextEdit picks up the encoding, no problem.
