Hi,
I can't find out, how to detect the characterset of a text file. Orders I
receive by mail have the same structure, but are created on different
systems, like DOS, Windows, Linux. So the characterset may be different.
After importing these file, the results may be different, because of the
fact, that characters like ä, à... of a DOS-created file are not the same
compared to a Windows-created file.
Do you know a way how to detect the characterset of a text file in order to
convert this file correctly?
Thank's and regards
Jari

Hi Jari,
For simple text file, as far as I know, there is information about the characterset used.
You have to either guess the characterset or try to find out from who or what made the text file.

Hi Morten,
I could map e.g. sender of text file to characterset used by this sender.
Would prefer a solution with detection of characterset: sender could change
his PC, OS and this would mean, that definition would have to be changed as
well.
Thank's - Jari

The problem is that two users could send two identical files, but mean
entirely different things by them. There are some character encodings
which can be detected as the *likely* encoding for a file, but it'll
never be 100% accurate.

Why does HttpWebResponse.CharacterSet always return ISO-8859-1? I am
accessing a Chinese Web site (http://cn.yahoo.com) -- View Source in IE shows
the character set to be "gb2312", but the HttpWebResponse shows it to be
ISO-8859-1. Websites like www.cnn.com also show the character set to
ISO-8859-1
Here is the code snippet:
string pageAddress = "http://cn.yahoo.com";
HttpWebRequest req = (HttpWebRequest)WebRequest.Create(pageAddress);

Hello,
is there any way how to detect string encoding in Python?
I need to proccess several files. Each of them could be encoded in
different charset (iso-8859-2, cp1250, etc). I want to detect it, and
encode it to utf-8 (with string function encode).
Thank you for any answer

Folks,
I have a text file which contains some XML. In its XML header, it
claims to be of UTF-8 encoding - however, it's really not, it's a ANSI
/ Windows-1252 / ISO-8859-1 encoding.
Trouble is: when I deserialize objects from that file, all the German
umlauts and other special characters get dropped, some even cause
deserialization errors.

Hi group,
I could use a bit of guidance on the following matter.
I am starting a new project now and must make some decisions regarding
encoding.
Environment: PHP4.3, Postgres7.4.3
I must be able to receive forminformation and store that in a database and
later produce it on screen on the client (just plain HTML).
