Extended ASCI Encoding

[Stelrad Doulton]

Hi,

Does anyone know what number to use with GetEncoding for 8 bit ASCI?

Cheers

Is this what you want?

Stelrad,

There is not 8 bit ASCI

There are code tables like the 437

A sample
\\\
Public Shared Sub main()
If File.Exists("C:\Test2\Text.txt") Then _
File.Delete("C:\Test2\StringText.txt")
Dim stw As New StreamWriter("C:\Test2\StringText.txt")
stw.WriteLine("123âäfabc")
stw.Close()
Dim Str As New StreamReader("C:\Test2\StringText.txt")
Dim arrInput As Byte() = _
System.Text.Encoding.GetEncoding(437).GetBytes(Str .ReadToEnd)
Str.Close()
End Sub
///
I hope this helps,

Cor

Hi yeah,

I know about code tables. I wanted to know if there was an encoding which
corresponds to "Extended ASCI". I am not sure if this is even an ANSI / ISO
standard but I have a printer which seems to match what I have found on the
web about the character mappings which they call "Extended ASCI".

Code tables *are* "extended ASCII", as far as such a term is valid.

There are several different code tables which could be meant by that
though. I suggest you find a code table which matches what your printer
uses, and use that.
