How to handle every character within a 'StreamReader'?

[francescomoi]

Hi.

I want to make a script which reads a file and shows its contents:
------------
using (StreamReader sr = new
StreamReader(objResponse.GetResponseStream(),
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding("iso-8859-15")))
{
result = sr.ReadToEnd();
sr.Close();
}
return result;
-----------

It works fine, but it doesn't show euro symbol ('x80') correctly.

I want to handle every character and, when it's 'x80' I can convert it
to 'EUR' word.

How can I handle every character within a 'StreamReader'?

Thank you very much,
--F

Have you worked out whether that's due to how you're reading it or how
you're displaying it?

Well, you could read a character at a time - but it may be
significantly more efficient to read a chunk at a time (using
Read(buffer, index, size)) and only act on buffers which have
problematic parts in them.

Alternatively, unless the files are particularly big, you could read it
as you already are doing, and then just use String.Replace to replace
the Euro cahracter with "EUR". Not as efficient, but really simple.
