Problem using ReadLine() with StreanReader

Hi

I am using the object Stream Reader to read Files. The method ReadLine()
does not read the character ñ o Ñ.

What Can i do?

Helpme please

thanks

Macisu

It does not work

StreamReader sFile = new StreamReader(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII);

byte[] bytes =
System.Text.Encoding.ASCII.Getbytes(sFile.ReadLine(:ToCharAr ray());
s=System.text.Encoding.ASII.GetString(bytes);

s is wrong,

Ideas?

RE: Problem using ReadLine() with StreanReader

Hi Macisu:
Please try to use UTF8 encoding
==>StreamReader sFile = new StreamReader(ASCIIEncoding.ASCII);
to:
StreamReader sFile = new StreamReader(System.Text.Encoding
..UTF8);

Help you,Help me.

Re: Problem using ReadLine() with StreanReader

Marcisu,
As Marshal suggets, ASCII does not include the ñ & Ñ characters, as ASCII is
a 7 bit encoding. You need an 8 or 16 bit encoding to read ñ & Ñ.

In addition to trying the UTF8 encoding I would recommend the Default
encoding, as that is the encoding that is specific under your Windows
Control Panels.

Something like:

| StreamReader sFile = new StreamReader(filename,
System.Text.Encoding.Default);

Hope this helps
Jay
