I'm trying to load ASCII files that contain characters from the French
language in a way that is independant of whatever Locale the machine is
configured to use.
So If I have machine who's default Locale is "en-US" and I open some
french text like this:
[C# exaple that has the same behaviour in any .net languages]
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("C :\\someFrenchFi le.txt");
string strInput = sr.ReadToEnd();
Suppose the file contains this:
"Le Québec en été."
the characters that I get in strInput are:
"Le Qu?bec en ?t?."
If I change the default Locale in the Control Panel and use
Encoding.Defaul t in the StreamReader's constructor parameters, I get the
right characters in strInput:
"Le Québec en été."
What I'd like to be able to do is load the french string with the right
characters regardless of what's the machine's default Locale. What's the
way to programmaticall y decide what Locale to use with all ASCII strings?

Your stream reader is missing something important for the second parameter
use System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII
otherwise it should eb unicode i believe.
This should helo you

If you know what's the code page of the file you can try to set
StreamReader's CurrentEncoding property to ASCIIEncoding with the CodePage
set to file's code page. [Warning! haven't tried it myself :)]
OTOH if you want to read arbitrary file in arbitrary language I'm afraid
it's not possible... (or, at least, I don't know the way...)

Assuming you mean accented characters, that's impossible. ASCII doesn't
contain any accented characters.

I forgot to mention that I've tried that and the result I get is:
"Le Qubec en t."
It removes all accentuated characters from the string.

What you want is probably ISO-Latin1 also known as ISO-8859-1, which
contains the French accentuated characters. So, you should specify this
encoding when you open the StreamReader.
Bruno.
Could you tell me how to do that in code? I find the SDK documentation
on this topic to be a bit confusing.

If it contains anything non-English (such as accented letters), it's not
ASCII.
What you have is some kind of extension of ASCII, and there are many such.
Try:
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader("C :\\someFrenchFi le.txt",
System.Text.Enc oding.GetEncodi ng("ISO-8859-1") );
string strInput = sr.ReadToEnd();

Is it really ASCII (as in DOS / OEM), or is it ANSI (as in a regular
Windows file)??
If it's ANSI / Windows, try using System.Text.Enc oding.Default. Works
for German umlauts for me :-)

Yeah I think what I was talking about is ANSI. I never understood the
difference between the two so I assumed they were two different names
for the same thing.

Hello,
I tried to read in some large ascii files (200MB-2GB) in Python using
scipy.io.read_array, but it did not work as I expected. The whole idea
was to find a fast Python routine to read in arbitrary ascii files, to
replace Yorick (which I use right now and which is really fast, but not
as general as Python). The problem with scipy.io.read_array was, that it
is really slow, returns errors when trying to process large files and it...

Many thanks for those who responded to my question of "putting greek char
into C string". In searching for an solution, I noticed that there are more
than one version of "Extended ASCII characters"(No. 128 to 255) . e.g., in
one version No. 224 is the symbol alpha, in another, it's a "a" with a ` on
it... How come?
