Streamreader doesn't read the line properlyHello,
I have a txt file which has a few lines of special characters:
This is A line from the text file:
¤Ù¦³‡-áŧÐþ®ÎÙ¡©ÌÄð‰äûñ·èãûóÂʬ‡Šœ†£ÜÆÜÑ¥ŽÆþ†ÓÖÁ€À¤ÃÞ˜æ²ÐůêÁ¿ö'÷·Û£¨™üˆ¾©÷±ëªÐ±'±ä±Ñ¬ˆõÏ ðüŽ¥üŠÙ',,™±¯Ø·‡±¦êŽÍÐÞã¢×®
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 should do is read a byte at a time, up to the first ASCII 13. Then see what data the byte-array contains. HTH, Mythran Is there a quick way to read a file with any format?

sr As StreamReader = New StreamReader(sFileName, System.Text.Encoding.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.

You may want to try 'System.Text.Encoding.Default' for the system's ANSI codepage or other encodings in 'System.Text.Encoding'. Note that 'Encoding.Unicode' means UTF-16. -- M S Herfried K.

Note that you can pass an encoding to 'StreamReader''s overloaded constructor. To obtain the system's ANSI encoding, use 'System.Text.Encoding.Default'. -- M S Herfried K.
