save XML in unicode format

[Gert]

Hi,

I want to save xml files with textnodes in it containing special characters. So the xml has to be saved as unicode (which is also used by flash)

How can I do this?


example:

var file_stream = new FileStream(getAppDir() + "\log.xml", "w");
file_stream.writeUnicodeString("<?xml version=\"1.0\" ?><f><n>b¨¦¨¤st</n></f>")
file_stream.close();

This does not work: the extra nulChar at the end generates an error of you want to view the xml using IE (required).

Any ideas?

tnx

function toUTF8(string)
{
  var i;
  var stream = new StringStream;
  
  for (i = 0; i < string.length; i++)
  {
      var code = string.charCodeAt(i);
      
      if (code < (1 << 7))
      {
        stream.put(code);
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 11))
      {
        stream.put((code >> 6) | 0xC0);
        stream.put((code & 0x3F) | 0x80);
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 16))
      {
        stream.put(0xE0 | ((code >> 12) & 0x0F));
        stream.put(0x80 | ((code >> 6) & 0x3F));
        stream.put(0x80 | (code & 0x3F));
      }
      else if (code < (1 << 21))
      {
        stream.put((code >> 18) | 0xe0);
        stream.put(((code >> 12) & 0x3f) | 0x80);
        stream.put(((code >> 6) & 0x3f) | 0x80);
        stream.put((code & 0x3f) | 0x80);
      }
  }
  
  return stream;
}

var file_stream = new FileStream("c:\\log.xml", "w");
file_stream.write(toUTF8('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><f><n>中国</n></f>'));
file_stream.close();
