File encodingHi everybody, I'm trying to create some text files in c#. I have not to
put the encoding preamble bytes at the beginning of the files, 'cause the unix software that reads my files gets some troubles with the preamble. How cna i do that?I know that using StreamWriter will alwais generate those bytes... Thanks Lorenzo <lorenzo.visca***@gmail.com> wrote:

If you don't specify the encoding, StreamWriter uses a UTF-8 encoding which doesn't include the preamble. If for whatever reason you need to specify the encoding, you can create a new instance of UTF8Encoding which doesn't include the preamble - just use new UTF8Encoding(false) -- Jon Skeet - <sk***@pobox.com> http://www.pobox.com/~skeet Blog: http://www.msmvps.com/jon.skeet If replying to the group, please do not mail me too lorenzo.visca***@gmail.com wrote:
