Hi,
I am reading a text file using a StreamReader in C# but the reader is unable
to handle some of the characheters.
Using the default encoding the program cannot handle accented characters. I
tried opening the file using other encodings e.g. UTF7.
UTF7 fixed the accents but cannot hadle the plus sign x2B. I am also having
problems with the Euro symbol x80 and quote x92.
How do I read this file correctly?
Is this problem caused by the encoding?
Is there a way to determine the file's encoding at runtime?
How else can I find out the encoding?
Thanks
Colin

If your file is using 0x80 for the Euro symbol, that should help to
narrow it down...
Have you tried using Encoding.Defaul t? That's not the same as the
default encoding for StreamReader when you don't specify an encoding.
(It's the default encoding for your computer, instead.)
How do I read this file correctly?
By specifying the correct encoding.
Is this problem caused by the encoding?
Almost certainly.
Is there a way to determine the file's encoding at runtime?
There are ways you can try to guess it heuristically, but nothing
foolproof.
How else can I find out the encoding?
Well, what generated this text file to start with?

Thanks Jon.
You got in one. Encoding.Defaul t fixed on my my machine.
Should have spotted that one.

The idea here is relatively simple: a java program (I'm using JDK1.4
if that makes a difference) that loads an HTML file, removes invalid
characters (or replaces them in the case of common ones like
Microsoft's 'smartquotes'), and outputs the file.
The problem is these files will be on disk, so the program won't have
the character encoding information from the server.

Hello everyone,
Wide character and multi-byte character are two popular encoding schemes on
Windows. And wide character is using unicode encoding scheme. But each time I
feel confused when talking with another team -- codepage -- at the same time.
I am more confused when I saw sometimes we need codepage parameter for wide
character conversion, and sometimes we do not need for conversion. Here are
two examples,

I have an application that reads data in from a text file and stores it in a

Hello folks,
I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed.
This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
