write-file should add parameter to specified character

[freewinger]

NL use utf8 character set to save data by default.

write-file and read-file function can't specifie character.

In my work environment need to switch in the language in many character.

I also found out that our lack of manual conversion character encoding functions, such as

iconv

.

So This  makes me very pain.

Hoping.....

write-file will always write the true binary original content regardless of the character set of your platform.



What exactly is the problem your are seeing? Can you give an example? Perhaps your problem is of a different nature? And what version/platform of newLISP are you using?

I think we need a "iconv" func

Just like Linux kit.

iconv -f UTF-8 -t GBK file1 -o file2

(write-file "result_utf8.txt" (first (parse str "rn")))
;maybe
;(write-file "result_cp936.txt" (iconv "utf-8" "gbk" (first (parse str_cp936 "rn"))))
;(write-file "result_cp936.txt"  (first (parse str_cp936 "rn")) "gbk")

Maybe the OP was talking about the name of the files rather than the content?
