DataExporter, CSV, encoding

[rdeoliveira]

Hello,

When i use the dataexporter with the csv type, the encoding is incorrect :

Code: Select all

<p:dataExporter target="myDatatable" type="csv" fileName="myCsvFile"
	encoding="utf-8" />

My Datatable :

• Beauté 1
  Beauté 2
  Beauté 3

When i open the csv file, the accents are displayed in a wrong format :

Code: Select all

Beauté 1
Beauté 2
Beauté 3

There is no problem with type="Excel"

Hi,
i had same problem with these special signs (czech). What helped was changing the encoding value to "cp1250". If this will not help try different encoding (ISO-8859-2).

How have you opened the exported/saved file? If you use for example OOffice or Excel, you can choose in which encoding exported data should be shown. If you use a "good" editor instead it will often appear in the right encoding.
