I make a program that want to read texts into collection class. The program need to know whether the text file is in unicode or not. What is the vb.net code to test whether a text file is in unicode or not? Is there a vb.net code that allow me to read text file without worrying whether it's unicode or not?
View 1 RepliesI ran across my first unicode data, and I am not sure what to do with it. I read the unicode text from a binary file using the ReadBytes method, because ReadChars threw an exception when it tried it. Well, long story short, I have found a way to work with the data, I can convert it using a small Function I wrote, which goes something like this: [Code] And this works wonderfully. It just throws away anything not in the ASCII range, including the BOM at the start of the unicode data.
But I would guess that this method is not very universal and probably not the best way. Are there any VB functions available to do this sort of thing? I was able to find something called Text.Encoding, but there didn't seem to be a reverse of that not that I found anyhow. Any ideas?
I am trying to use Microsoft.VisualBasic.FileIO.TextFieldParser for parsing any format of tab delimited text file that user may have and show the data in web page in tabular fashion.I have sample tsv file with text qualifiers such as quotes saved in different encoding styles for different platforms such as pc, unix, mac saved using textpad. and I am trying to parse these using TextFieldParser. It works for all PC files but fails for mac.
View 2 RepliesI am trying to convert text inputed in a text box to unicode. I need to the program to process each letter and return "the letter = the unicode" in the label.
For example, if the user enters "apple" the lable would read: a=65 p=80 p=80 l=76 e=69
I know the AscW command will return the Unicode Integer but I only know how to do the conversion for single letters
The code below only processes the first letter and only returns the code, not "the letter = the code"

View 7 RepliesI have a problem reading ID3v2 text identifier tags when they are encoded in unicode. If i update the tags using winamp the tags are encoded in UTF-16 with BOM. When i try to read the tag i step through each byte and use chr(byte) to get the character that that byte represents. But when the bytes are unicode i get some characters (shown below) as the first two characters:
The remaining characters are correct, it's just these 2 first ones.
What are these for? and how can i get rid of them or read the bytes as unicode characters? i've tried reading the ID3 website and many other sites too but i don't know what to do. i can check the text-encoding byte in that tag frame to determine whether or not the tag is encoded in unicode or ISO-8859-1 but i don't know what to do next.

So I'm in the final stages of finishing a program I've been working on for nearly a year now, and this is basically my final hurdle. The Save dialogue is working beautifully, with 'flags' in order to switch it over from the regular input into text boxes to the Listbox input protocol.
However, I'm having a *** of a time getting it to take lines from the text file and put them in the proper text box. Here is an example file:

So with the sample file I provided above, in the textbox named callNameText would appear "SHOWNAME", and so on and so forth. With this build, I get a NullReferenceException on the "Me.Controls(strboxNames(i)).Text() = strAllText(ati)" line.
