Reading foreign letters from text files

The typical foreign letters in the text file I read are missing. Has it
something to do with the declaration of the file?
Dim sr As StreamReader = File.OpenText(" c:\MyFile.txt")

You might want to try opening the file specifying the charset. For instance
create a new StreamReader using the system's default ANSI charset:

vb.net:
Dim sr as StreamReader = new StreamReader("c :\myfile.txt",
System.Text.Enc oding.Default)

c#:
StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(@" c:\myfile.txt",
System.Text.Enc oding.Default);

Hi, I've got a problem with regular expressions and strings containing Swedish characters (åäö). I basically have a PHP script that highlights certain words in a text. I found the code attached below in the commented manual at php.net. It works great for all words that do not contain Swedish characters. The words that do contain åäö will not be highlighted.

I'm trying to process a collection of text files, reading word by word. The program run hangs whenever it encounters a word with an accented letter (like rôle or passé) - ie something that's not a "char" with an ASCII code in 0..127 I've searched the ANSI C++ standard, the internet and various text books, but can't see how to workaround this one. I've tried wchar_t and wstring without success. But rather than spending lots of time on...

I like to make foreign letters to appear in the textarea. For instance, when typing the letter 'a' on the keyboard, the Japanese letter &#+12449; would appear in the textarea. Could somebody insert a simple code in following program? I will follow suit from there. <style> body { font-family:arial;} textarea { font-family:"lucida sans unicode"; }

I have a paragraph of text pasted into a word document, it's in Polish, complete with polish characters. They show up just fine in word, but the program I use for web page programming, HomeSite, won't translate it. When I paste the text into the code, the special characters are missing. If they would show up there I could use the Replace Special Characters feature to change it to the proper code, but it won't even paste into it...

Hi, I've made an input page in asp.net and the records are saved BUT without the 'foreign letters' like é, ä, ü and so on!? What could be the problem? My SQL database accepts these letters without problems, so it has to be asp.net who deletes them while inserting the record into the SQL database. The field in the database is defined as varchar(250).

Hi, I was wondering how I could read, char by char letters from a text document. I'm making a game, and I have decided this method is probably the easiest way to make maps with collision ect. I the file is 48x27, so overall 1296 charactors need to be read, and the images drawn on screen, they then need to be read directly to check for collision, the only code I have found so far is to read each charactor in series. Incase I explained...

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. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: 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,...
