How to save a file in UTF with BOM?

[Alan_K]

QTextCodec::setCodecForCStrings(QTextCodec::codecF orName("UTF-8"));
QTextCodec::setCodecForLocale(QTextCodec::codecFor Name("UTF-8"));
QTextCodec::setCodecForTr(QTextCodec::codecForName ("UTF-8"));

Is not working. How to save a file in UTF-8 with BOM. :confused:

what exactly is BOM?

[Alan_K]

My program generates a HTML file in UTF-8 format. I want to later edit this file in notepad++, but it must be in UTF-8 with BOM (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte-order_mark). This will allow me on Polish characters.

do you get the correct encoding disregarding the BOM?
can you put the BOM in manually?

do you get the correct encoding disregarding the BOM?
Yep, I have UTF-8.


can you put the BOM in manually?
Yes, but I want it to be automatic.

You are maybe looking for QTextStream::setGenerateByteOrderMark (http://doc.qt.nokia.com/latest/qtextstream.html#setGenerateByteOrderMark)
