Hi,
I'm trying to create and append unicode strings to a utf-16 text file.
The best I could come up with was to use codecs.open() with an
encoding of 'utf-16' but when I do an append I get another UTF16 BOM
put into the file which other programs do not expect to see :-(
Is there some way to stop codecs from doing this or is there a better
way to create and add data to a utf-16 text file?
Well, there's nothing to stop you opening it "raw", as it were,
and just appending unicode encoded as utf16.
<code>
s = u"The cat sat on the mat"
f = open ("utf16.txt", "wb")
for word in s.split ():
f.write (word.encode ("utf16") + " ")
f.close ()
</code>
