Readline() ignores some characters

[Rostrox]

I have the next code: . . StreamReader inp = new StreamReader(@"c:\inp.txt"); Tx1.Text = inp.ReadLine(); inp.Close(); . . inp.txt contains "¡¡¿¿Test??!!" and after reading line, Tx1 has = "Test??!!" The ¡ and ¿ were ignored!! The same thing occurs with ñ, á, etc. What is happenning? Best regards

I guess the problem is come from Unicode Encding. Use other cunstructors of StreamReader which you can specify Encoding type in them. Mazy No sig. available now.

I made: StreamReader inp = new StreamReader(@"c:\inp.txt",System.Text.Encoding.UTF7); Tx1.Text = inp.ReadLine(); Inp.Close(); and it worked. Thanks. However, it is the firts time I experienced this kind of problem. I live in South America. Now, ¿should I change all my thousands of programs to include this encoding parameter? or is this possible to change it any kind of global parameter? Thanks for your help

As far as your programs wants to work with Unicode world ,I think you should apply these change to them. Mazy No sig. available now.
