I still do not know how to do this correctly. But I have something that seems to work for the moment. Using #asUTF8Bytes f nextPutAll: (writer write contents asUTF8Bytes). Now the file is in UTF-8 and normal size. Jimmie On 09/13/2017 12:02 PM, Jimmie Houchin wrote:
Hello,
I am attempting to read and write an XML document.
Currently I have parsed the document successfully. I have basic navigation and have learned how to modify the XMLDocument.
Now I want to write the modified document back to the file system. What I have tried so far is:
writer := XMLWriter new. xmldoc document writeXMLOn: writer. writer stream. f := File openForWriteFileNamed: '/home/jimmie/xmldoc.xml'. f nextPutAll: (writer write contents). f flush. f close.
It does write an xml document to the file system. However, it has exploded in size. The original is 28mb and is in UTF-8. The newly written file is 112mb and is UTF-32.
I do not know why the change in encoding or how to correct or manually set the encoding.
Any help in understanding how to correctly write an XML document that I have read and minimally modified would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Jimmie
