Android Question Letters formatting (file format UTF /ANSI )?

[hookshy]

I have some problems with testing if the input word contains a letter .
The code below adds words to a list upon a letter identification criteria like this :
I promt user: Enter a word with the letter c
Test if the new input word contains letter c and save the word else prompt error.

I have a list of letter saved in a file named listac formatted UTF-8 that contains letters :B,C,D,F,G,H,J,L,M,N,P,R,S,Ş,T,Ţ,V,Z
file here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/pdbxanfzu1unq9r/listac.txt

I use format UTF-8 to be able to display diacritics like Ş Ţ,


Question or problem: The code works great for all letters except B !
What is with this letter that the code does not accept it ? or with me .
In log after entering B it shows correctly but the loop condition does not see that the letter is actuall B
and displays the message box please enter word with letter B


If I use format ANSI then the letter B works as well but I can not display Ş Ţ so it does not help me much

B JUST BEAT ME THIS TIME .
Thanks for helping

add.Show("New word with letter: "&xtoc,"Save","Cancel","",Null) 'CUSTOM DIALOG SHOW

If add.Response=-1 Then

    Log("newlit.text"&newlit.Text.ToUpperCase)
 
    If newlit.Text.ToUpperCase.Contains(xtoc) Then
     
        lista.add(newlit.Text.ToUpperCase) 'saves the new word to current list
        save_word(position) 'save routine like: File.WriteList(File.DirDefaultExternal,"b.txt",lista)
     
        afisare_lit ' shows words list in scrolview

Use the debugger and check the value of xtoc. Is it really B?

 

[hookshy]

I tryed and it shows B
I guess it is something with the format

I inserted the code below when reading another file ... because I had problems with first word in the file so I guess it is the same problem with the
letters files where B is the first entry .

lista is a list of words from a file format UTF-8

If level=0 Then
word=lista.Get(level)
word=cuvant.SubString(1) ' fixed bug
Else
word=lista.Get(level)
End If

I will test more and comme with the results .

It is solved with the code below but it would be interesting to know who it works and how android reads the UTF-8
file format.
I use this statement to read basic list from file
listaclist=File.ReadList(File.DirAssets,"listac.txt")


If I will find out I will share but I do not now much about how android read file formats and how IDE is involved in reading . If this is an issue that I do not now how to control .
thanks you for your help

If row=0 Then
xtoc=xtoc.SubString(1)
End If
