Hello,
I have a txt file which has a few lines of special characters:
This is A line from the text file:
٦-ŧُ ʍ ѥ ޘ²ů 'ۣ б*'с ',, ꎏЏ
When I use
sr.ReadLine (where "sr As StreamReader"), it is not giving me this line
at all, it gets cut and the characters are totally different.
But when I try a real text file with normal characters, it reads
everything correctly.
How can I read a file, one line at a time and be able to give me the
correct data in VB.NET?
Thanks in advance. You help would be greatly appreciated.

What you are reading is a binary file, not a text file. The binary data may
contain the ascii values of 13, 10, or 0. All of which (i believe) will
keep the StreamReader from reading the full line...
What you should do is read a byte at a time, up to the first ASCII 13. Then
see what data the byte-array contains.

Have you tried instantiating the StreamReader class instance using the
constructor that accepts an encoding parameter? http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143456.aspx

Is there a quick way to read a file with any format?
Thanks again

Thank you for your feedback. However, when I tried
sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(sF ileName,
System.Text.Enc oding.ASCII)
It give me "????....."
Basically they are ASCII between 128 and 255. What should I be using,
or how should I declare it in order to get those characters back?
Thanks in advance.

'StreamReader' interprets the file as UTF-8 by default. Maybe the file has
been saved using another encoding such as Windows ANSI with the system's
default code page. Note that you can pass an encoding to 'StreamReader'' s
overloaded constructor. To obtain the system's ANSI encoding, use
'System.Text.En coding.Default' .

ASCII is a 7-bit encoding, this means only character codes 0 through 127 are
defined. You may want to try 'System.Text.En coding.Default' for the
system's ANSI codepage or other encodings in 'System.Text.En coding'. Note
that 'Encoding.Unico de' means UTF-16.

I'm using a StreamReader to read in several lines from an ASCII file. I'd
like to know the StreamReader's "true" position-- that is, the number of

MyStreamReader.BaseStream.Position, but this always seems to return a
multiple of the StreamReader's buffer size (which seems natural-- as I
understand it the StreamReader reads from the underlying stream in discrete...

Can anyone tell me why this code doesn't work for setting the pointer to the
begining of a file stream?
This is driving me crazy.
At the end of Main1, sString2 is the second line of the file, as if the Seek
never worked.
Shouldn't sString1 and sString2 each contain the first line of the file?
To fix this (as in Main2), I need to create a new reader. Is this
documented behavior, or is this a bug??

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
