Narwhal: write data

[cacaodev]

hey list,

I'm trying to support NSNib in nib2cib. In Apple nib files, NSNibs are represented as base64 data.

Inside NS_InitWithCoder: i can get the correct data with the correct bytes array. Then i need to write it in a file in order to nib2cib again the resulting nib.

I tried this:

    var utf16String =  CFData.bytesToUtf16String(data.bytes());

    require("file").write("NSNib.nib", utf16String, { charset:"UTF-16" }); // UTF-16 because ibtool requires it. right ?

But unfortunately i don't get the excpected content. The file exist but some characters differ from what i get using NSData writeToFile: and ibtool says the file is corrupted.  It's hard to say why: because of the bytes->string conversion or the writing process.

Is there something obvious i'm missing here ?

Another possibility would be to write data directly from the bytes array to avoid any problems with encoding. Is there a way to do this in narwhal ?

I meant plutil says the file is corrupted when i try to convert it to a property list. The sub nib is already in a compiled format.

self-answer: 

It's just require("file").write(path, bytesArray, options);
