ReadAllText, special charactersI use the following code: Dim enc As System.Text.Encoding = New System.Text.UnicodeEncoding(False, False) Dim a As String = Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.ReadAllText(Application.StartupPath & "\Avkon.r03", enc) Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.FileSystem.WriteAllText(Application.StartupPath & "\Avkon.r05", _ a, False, enc) And the weird thing is that some ß are read out OK but others are simply left out. If I set throwOnInvalidbytes to True, then i get an error of course... kenny wrote:

I'm far from an expert on Unicode; is there some external resource you can use to validate your files? -- Larry Lard Replies to group please Well, I am absolutely sure that the file is ok. And if it would be not, why
only some chars cannot be read out? Or is there perhaps a way to read files independent from the encoding?

Eszett should be represented by the same bytes (the Eszett is Unicode 00DF it appears, so the two bytes will be 00 and DF in some order). If the file is corrupted, one will be wrong. Of course, the problem might be somewhere else. Instead of using ReadAllText, you could try reading the file a line at a time, and seeing which line causes the problem. If even that doesn't help, maybe read the file into a byte array using a BinaryReader, and then try decoding it one character at a time... -- Larry Lard Replies to group please
