Yes, thanks for the fast response. > What exactly is your question ? > I am looking at the issues with FileList, there are some parts that don't work anymore (see FileList>>#contents, it calls some unimplemted methods), and it uses TextConverter and somoe parts of the older File api. It looks like most other (newer) parts are using ZnCharacterReadstream for encoding, but I couldn't find a way to use it together with FileReferences (most parts of the FileList already operate with the newer FileSystem API. > > Sven > > > On 4 Feb 2017, at 12:09, Nicolai Hess <nicolaih...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > Hi > > How can I specify the character encoding when opening a readStream on a > FileRerefence. > > > > I found this, that works: > > > > | readStream fileContent | > > readStream := (File named: aFileName) openForRead. > > fileContent := ZnCharacterReadStream on: readStream encoding: encoding. > > fileContent upToEnd asString. > > > > But if I try to do the same with a readStream from a FileReference > > > > | readStream fileContent | > > readStream := aFileName asFileReference readStream. > > fileContent := ZnCharacterReadStream on: readStream encoding: encoding. > > fileContent upToEnd asString. > > > > I get an error SmallInteger DNU #asciiValue, > > > > this is because, in the first method, we create a binary filestream, and > if we > > use readStream from a FileReference, the stream is a MultibyteFileStream. > > > > How can I us ZnEncoder for a readstream from a FileReference? > > > > (and is it on purpose that both readStream method > (openForRead/readStream) > > return different kinds of binary streams?) > > > > > > nicolai > > >
