Hey chaps, Im trying to write a text file to the file system, but it *must* have an exact byte order as per this: http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/54161.htm http://support.adobe.com/devsup/devsup.nsf/docs/54162.htm Ive been looking at the Iconv elements of ruby, and Array.pack but im really not sure how best to ensure that it is the correct byte order? Or that the carriage returns are correct. What are peoples thoughts? Thanks Tim -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
