ITextReader.Encoding

Syntax

Encoding: CodePage;

Description

The Encoding property determines a text encoding to read from a file.

Comments

In order text is displayed correctly, the encoding determined by the Encoding property must match with that of the saved file.

Example

Executing the example requires the text file: C:\file.txt.

Add a link to the IO system assembly.

Sub UserProc;
Var
    File1: IFileInfo;
    TextR: ITextReader;
    s: String;
Begin
    File1 := New FileInfo.Attach("C:\file.txt");
    If File1.Exists Then
        TextR := File1.OpenTextReader;
        TextR.Encoding := CodePage.ANSI_Cyrillic;
        s := TextR.ReadString(10);
    End If;
    Debug.WriteLine(s);
    Dispose File1;
End Sub UserProc;

After executing the example the console window displays the first 10 characters in the ANSI_Cyrillic encoding from the file.txt file.
