Mac: RB 2007 Release 1
If I create a string
SomeString = "cat" + Chr(140) + "mouse"
The MacRoman character for 140 is a little a with a ring above
it character
I can look at it in the MsgBox and it will look as I might
expect: with the little a with a ring above it character
sitting between the cat and the mouse.
Now I can create text file with TextOutputStream that contains this
string.
If I look at this file with BBEdit or whatever, it looks as I might
expect. (as it did in the MsgBox)
Now I can import this text file with TextInputStream and assign it
to a string and look
at that string in the debugger or in MsgBox.
It will not work. The Chr(140) fouls things up. The debugger might
show a ? and the
MsgBox nothing at all and variations of this theme for that character.
Now, you can work around this by assigning Nil to the Encoding of
the text input stream
tis.Encoding = Nil
It will then work OK. But I do not understand why it does not work
in the first place.
If the default encoding in RealBASIC and in TextOutputStream and
TextInputStream is
UTF-8 why are not the TextOutputStream and the TextInputStream
"symmetric"
That is to say why don't you get back out what you put in?
