aqFile.WriteToTextFile inserts 3 chars at begining

[shrap]

Hi,

I have this simple code in JScript:

  aqFile.WriteToTextFile("c:\\tmp.txt","text",aqFile.ctUTF8);

and the result is attached. I guess it is a bug or am I missing something?



Regards

David

Hi David,



These three bytes are a signature (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark) that the file is in Unicode format (as specified in your code). So the behaviour seems to be correct.

Oops. I must look dumb now 😉 However, our application does not write BOM into UTF-8 files (since it is not mandatory) and thus when I compare such two files, these 3 chars are extra. I suppose there is no way how to tell TC not to write these 3 bytes, is it?

Hi David,



Try

aqFile.WriteToTextFile("c:\\tmp.txt","text",aqFile.ctANSI);
