 Posted: Fri Jun 25, 2004 10:54 am Post subject: How can I create, fill and save an utf-8 encoded text file? |
 |
|
Hello,
I write an export of a complete Writer doc into a special xml format. Therefore, the xml-file should be utf-8 encoded. At the present we use a simple file output via freefile, that do not save as needed.
How can I open a file, writing strings in it and then save it as an utf-8 encoded text file? I found the xTextOutputstream, that seams to be usefull, but I could not found any code example.
Thank you for your help

do you know which encoding your own filter uses? When we need utf8 from a program that doesn't support it, we send the file through iconv afterwards.
see
http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?1+iconv
Our OO saves in utf8 format, do you have more details on your filter?
there is probably a windows version, too

Hello zap,
thank you for your replay. I'm not shure, wich encoding is used. I'm working on a windows XP system, and the file that receives the data is opened by the following procedure:
| Code: | Sub InitExportFile
if FileExists(gsExportXML) then
Kill gsExportXML
end if
giExportXML = Freefile
Open gsExportXML For Output As #giExportXML
End Sub
'writing into the export file with:
'Print #giExportXML, "Hello world"

I do not know, which filter that method uses. Probalby it would be a better idea to open a XTextOutputStream in OO-Basic, that supports Filter settings. As I red in the Developer Guide, the utf-8 filter is the default setting. Unfortunately, I do not know how to write a working code for opening that stream, what means, creating a new local file, and then to send data to this file (I'm trying the whole day now - it's a little bit frustrating).
Regards, Harry
P.S.: Your "iconv" solution might run, but how to implement this in OO-Basic? |

The xTextoutputStream interface has the following description:
| Quote: | Interface to write strings to a stream using a special character encoding.
This interfaces allows to write strings to a stream. The character encoding to be used can be set by setEncoding() . Default encoding is "utf8". |
This means we don't have to set any Encoding cause utf8 is already the default.
The following code should do what you want:
| Code: |
fileAccessService = createUnoService("com.sun.star.ucb.SimpleFileAccess")
textOutputStream = createUnoService("com.sun.star.io.TextOutputStream")
'now open the file..
outputStream = fileAccessService.openFileWrite(<yourFileName>)
outputStream.truncate()
textOutputStream.setOutputStream(outputStream)
'now write something into the file
textOutputStream.writeString("This is utf-8 format.")
'and don't forget to close it..
textOutputStream.closeOutput()
|
Hope that helps.
Christian
