Reading the File contents along with Wild characters

Hi,

I am trying to read the file contents using
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.IO.File.ReadAllText
After reading the file contents the special charaters (á) gets replaced with some garbage characters like "?".
To elliminate this I have used encoding along with above method
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
  1. System.IO.File.ReadAllText(strFile, System.Text.Encoding.ASCII)
But still it is not working.Can anybody have the solution for this

Hi Amol,

We need to read the file as per encoding type of the source file. If encoding type is unknown then we can use 'System.Text.Encoding.Default'

for example.

System.IO.File.ReadAllText(FilePath, System.Text.Encoding.Default)



Regards,
Sagar
