Hi Nicolai, The FileSystem API is a bit inconsistent, yes.
This is how you can use it: (FileLocator temp / 'foo.txt') writeStreamDo: [ :out | out binary. (ZnCharacterWriteStream on: out encoding: #utf8) << 'élève' ]. (FileLocator temp / 'foo.txt') readStreamDo: [ :in | in binary. ZnCharacterReadStream on: in encoding: #utf8) upToEnd ]. (FileLocator temp / 'foo.txt') binaryReadStreamDo: [ :in | (ZnCharacterReadStream on: in encoding: #utf8) upToEnd ]. There is no #binaryWriteStreamDo: The API around File is more correct, IMHO. Does this help ? What exactly is your question ?
