Binary to utf 8 converter
The next stage is to save the F.utf16 BLOB variable to the file system as a file named utf16_output.
#Binary to utf 8 converter update
To update the F.utf16 BLOB variable with the contents of the F.utf8 BLOB variable, enter the following expression in the Expression Editor (as shown in the image below), and then click OK: In the Name column, select the F.utf16 BLOB variable that you previously created. In the Flow Data Configuration dialog box, click Add. This will result in a corrupted file because of the lack of UTF-8 support.

In the Name column, select the F.utf8 BLOB variable that you previously created. In the Action column, select Update from the drop-down list. To begin the conversion process, you need to load the binary BLOB file from the file system using the File2Blb function. Then, create a logical variable called F.log under the same tab. Open the Flow Variables repository and create two BLOB variables called F.utf8 and F.utf16. Now, create the variables that you will use in this example.
Then, create a logical variable called F.log. There, create two BLOB variables called F.utf8 and F.utf16. To create the variables that you will use in this example, open the Flow Variables repository. Save it in UTF-8 encoding under your \Magic\projects\ folder. To convert a binary BLOB with UTF-8 content to a Unicode BLOB, you need to use the UTF8toUnicode function.Ĭonverting a binary BLOB with UTF-8 content to a Unicode BLOB using the UTF8toUnicode function:įor the purpose of this example, begin by creating a binary BLOB file.
