Hi,
I am tring to understand the basics of text encoding.
I wrote the following code :
Dim f As FolderItem
Dim t as TextOutputStream
f = GetFolderItem("Preferences.txt")
if f.Exists then
t = f.AppendToTextFile
else
t = f.CreateTextFile
end if
t.write ConvertEncoding(Editfield1.text, Encodings.UTF8)
t.close
When I write in editfield1 the following accentuated text :
é à è ç !!!
If I open the Preferences.txt file with TextEdit, I get :
?© ? ?® ?ß !!!
The preview in the finder shows the text properly, and so does NeoOffice...
I tried UTF16, MacRoman without any luck with Textedit.
So, the question is : What shall I use to be sure that any
Wordprocessor/Text Editor will display my file correctly on Mac, on
Windows and in a multiplatform way?
Is there somewhere in a text file that we can specify the encoding used
at the creation, so the Wordprocessor will know?
TIA,
Youri
