Hi all
In my C# program I need to read a file, which is exported from a DOS
program. So words such as "Afløser" (with special danish characters) is
read like "Afl�ser" .
How do I decode/encode DOS formatted strings to the right ".net" format.
Cheers

Hi,
try to take a look at the System.Text namespace. It contains classes
for encoding/decoding text
from/to different code pages. You should guess which encoding your
file uses (i.e. unicode, utf8, etc...)
and the uses the appropriate method of the encoding classes.
Ask if you need more help!
Bye.

Find out which code page your file is in - it may be 437, but it may
not be - different systems used different code pages.
When you know the code page, use Encoding.GetEnc oding(codePage) and
then supply that whatever method you're using to read the file.

Thank you Jon and Ciccone
It took me quite some time to make it work, until I realised, that I needed
two different encodings, one for reading the file, and another for writing
back to the new file (it's a file conversion program).
But with your help and a lot of patience and fooling around, I got it to
work.
Thanks! This thread has been closed and replies have been disabled. Please start a new discussion. Similar topics | |

I have got formatted files. All of these file takes this form:
obj1 method1 obj2 string1 obj3 string2 argument.
Of course, each file can have maximum fields as shown above, or
minimun fields
like this:
obj1 method1.
For example, file1 can be like this:

I have some log files I need to process via VB.NET and C# based applications.
I read the entire contents of each file individually into a string variable

Can anyone please provide a method using string conversions or Regex...

Hello group,
The following code is an attempt to perform URL-decoding of URL-encoded
string. Note that std::istringstream is used within the switch, within
the loop. Three main issues have been raised about the code;
1. If characters after '%' do not represent hexademical number, then
uninitialized value variable 'hexint' used - this is undefined behavior.
2. This code is very inefficient - to many mallocs/string
