Does anyone know how to specify the character encoding when response.write()-ing a CSV file from a Suitelet?  E.g.
```var file = nlapiCreateFile(filename, 'CSV', csv);
file.setEncoding('windows-1252');
response.setContentType(file.getType(), filename);
response.write(file.getValue()); ```

oh wait let me try `response.setEncoding('windows-1252');`

well that changes the encoding but not how I want, lol

just need to be able to deal with `é` and such

that doesn’t work at all, you just get a file with the contents `nlobjFile` lol

it’s ok I got it working with my solution above

the fun part was setting the encoding conditionally depending on the User-Agent

its pretty weird, but files loaded from the file cabinet can be directly written by responses

yeah this will never go in FC, it’s just a file generated on-the-fly

now I need to make the change in my SS2 version, whee

someday  I’ll get around to deprecating all our SS1 stuff
