"É" not getting converted to two bytes correctly.
- by ChrisF
Further to this question I've got a supplementary problem.
I've found a track with an "É" in the title.
My code:
var playList = new StreamWriter(playlist, false, Encoding.UTF8);
-
private static void WriteUTF8(StreamWriter playList, string output)
{
byte[] byteArray = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(output);
foreach (byte b in byteArray)
{
playList.Write(Convert.ToChar(b));
}
}
converts this to the following bytes:
195
137
which is being output as à followed by a square (which is an character that can't be printed in the current font).
I've exported the same file to a playlist in Media Monkey at it writes the "É" as "É" - which I'm assuming is correct (as KennyTM pointed out).
My question is, how do I get the "‰" symbol output? Do I need to select a different font and if so which one?
UPDATE
People seem to be missing the point.
I can get the "É" written to the file using
playList.WriteLine("É");
that's not the problem.
The problem is that Media Monkey requires the file to be in the following format:
#EXTINFUTF8:140,Yann Tiersen - Comptine D'Un Autre Été: L'Après Midi
#EXTINF:140,Yann Tiersen - Comptine D'Un Autre Été: L'Après Midi
#UTF8:04-Comptine D'Un Autre Été- L'Après Midi.mp3
04-Comptine D'Un Autre Été- L'Après Midi.mp3
Where all the "high-ascii" (for want of a better term) are written out as a pair of characters.
