I am having trouble creating and writing to a text file in ASP (classic) on an IIS server. I need the text file to be UTF-8 but it will not happen..., any ideas?

What exactly is the problem? You cannot read it with asp code later. or you cannot read it in some type of text editor?

When i was working with my AJAX, the XML files needed to be created with UTF-8 encoding... so, bellow is the code to create a blank file with above character set...


Private Sub CreateUTF8File(FilePath, DummyData)
Dim objStream
Set objStream = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Stream")

objStream.Open

objStream.Position = 0
objStream.Charset = "UTF-8"

objStream.WriteText DummyData
objStream.SaveToFile FilePath
objStream.Close

Set objStream = Nothing
End Sub

Thanks a lot, I will try that. Earlier on I used this:

set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject")
Set act = fso.CreateTextFile(Server.MapPath(file_being_created), true, true)

act.WriteLine("<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""utf-8""?>")

And, well, it spits out the text file correctly although it is never a UTF-8 file which I also need.
