How to read a Unicode data saved as ASCII in notepad file as txt ?
I tried using streamReader but it is not showing Unicode data.
eg.
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(te st.txt)
{
string line;
// Read and display lines from the file until the end of
// the file is reached.
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
{
Console.WriteLi ne(line);
}
Console.Read();
} 3 2487

Do you mean ANSI rather than ASCII? If so, pass Encoding.Defaul t as a
parameter for your StreamReader constructor.
If it's truly saved as ASCII, you won't have any accented characters
etc, and it should read fine as UTF-8.

Hi,
I'm not sure I understand the phrase 'unicode data saved as ASCII' - I
guess either the text is ASCII-encoded, or else it is Unicode-encoded?
No matter what, you need to specify an encoding in your code, e.g.:
System.IO.Strea mReader sr = new System.IO.Strea mReader("test.t xt",
System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII)
or
System.IO.Strea mReader sr = new System.IO.Strea mReader("test.t xt",
System.Text.Enc oding.UTF8)
You can also try out different encodings from the intellisense if you
don't know how your file is encoded. If your text still looks funny,
try posting a sample. Hope this is any help.

Well, if it *is* in UTF-8 then you don't need to specify the encoding
- UTF-8 is picked by default by pretty much all the .NET classes (in
this case the docs aren't terribly clear, unfortunately).
You can also try out different encodings from the intellisense if you
don't know how your file is encoded. If your text still looks funny,
try posting a sample. Hope this is any help.
Note that if we do end up seeing a sample, it's probably best to post
the hex version of it - just posting the text will involve other
encoding conversions, which kinda defeats the point...

I've been working on a project that will help me save some time. It
basically reads a URL and saves it to disk as an html file. In other
words, I just wanted to make the automated version of "Save As -> HTML

I use XMLHTTP component for this task. I created 3 functions:
readURL: Reads the given URL using Microsoft.XMLHTTP component and
returns the content.
