Re: [fpc-pascal] TIniFile.WriteString gives file with BOM, bad

with FPC trunk it converts .ini file to UTF8 BOM! Bad, because then my
code reads this .ini file and it cannot find its 1st section:
BOMCHARS[ref] is not found, only [ref] is found in original file. So
I will disable the writing of BOM in TIniFile alltogether.

Can you add TIniFile.WriteBom property? it's not quite enough, I need to disable it globally in entire app (I have ~10 ini objects), so additional global default is needed (like Lazarus has global variables). -- Regards, Alexey ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

>> 2) if BOM is there, allow ReadString to find section at the file begin: I can read/write IniFiles with BOM with fpc r43847, with and withoud DefautSystemCodePage := CP_UTF8. Sorry, my mistake-- TIniFile can read this BOM file, but my software cannot: a) I've fixed one place where my app reads ini files via TextFile. b) I canNOT fix another place where PYTHON library reads ini file (Python has module for ini files). c) So yes, I want to disable BOM writing at all. -- Regards, Alexey ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal

TIniFile might benefit from a WriteBom (Boolean) property ? -- Bart ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
Re: [fpc-pascal] TIniFile.WriteString gives file with BOM, bad
TIniFile manually adds the BOM to the first Line. Then SaveToFile is called, which (if FEncoding = Utf8) will add the BOM again? Bart ___ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org https://lists.freepascal.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
