Hi,

How do I accept an answer?

Thanks Dmitry!

Is that documented?

Hi Tomas, 

thanks,

I checked , and I see that TranslateTable seems to set BOM ,

Because when I run the following two examples,

the files I got where identical

method 1:

Set stream=##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
Set sc=stream.LinkToFile("c:\temp\UTF8ExampleWithBom.txt")
Set stream.BOM=$C(239,187,191)
Do stream.TranslateTableSet("UTF8")
Do stream.Write("Hello שלום")
w stream.%Save()

method 2:

Set stream=##class(%Stream.FileCharacter).%New()
Set sc=stream.LinkToFile("c:\temp\UTF8ExampleNoBom.txt")
Do stream.TranslateTableSet("UTF8")
Do stream.Write("Hello שלום")
w stream.%Save()

Thank you Tomas,

to clarify-

 Set stream.BOM=$C(239,187,191)

and 

Do stream.TranslateTableSet("UTF8")

are not equivalent , correct?

but TranslateTableSet does set the BOM ?

Thanks,

Nael

Hi,

It did work after all..

When I changed the command

Do stream.Write("Hello " _ $CHAR(955) _ "!")

to a command containing English and Hebrew letters, I got a UTF8 encoded file.

Thanks for your help!

Thanks a lot for your quick answer Alok!

I tried it, it didn't work - 

I just got a file containing-

"Hello !"

And the file is ANSI encoded.

I guess Its because we have special translation tables, and I don't know the details of that configuration.

I just thought- if its that easy to do with XML files, why not with regular files?

Nael
