I have a page which reads the the first line of every *.txt file in a
certain directory of mine to use as the Text property of a HyperLink
Control. However, in one of my recently added text files in the directory it
is using all but the ellipsis character (this is the last character in the
line, but it does the same thing when I place the character in other
places). For example, here is what the line looks like in the *.txt file and
the generated HTML code:

*.txt File:
Whate.ver you say.

HTML Code:
Whatever you say

When I create the text files, which I do in Windows Notepad on Windows XP
Pro SP2, I enter the character using the ALT+0133 key combination. Even if
ASP.NET did not recognize this character, I would at least expect it to put
some character in it's place, even if it was not the one I wanted. When
reading the *.txt file I use the System.IO.StreamReader.ReadLine() method. I
am assuming the fix has something to do with the character sets I am using
when creating and/or reading the *.txt files, but I was unable to find the
character set that Notepad saves the file as. Can somebody help me here?
Thanks.
