B4J Question Unicode file to text file

[alienhunter]

Hi ,
i got a file that is unicode , how do i convert this to plain text file to be able to read it with a textreader
This file comes form WMIC ( Windows Management Instrumentation Command-line (WMIC))

The question is which encoding is this text file using? It is impossible to say from the text you posted.

Have you tried File.ReadString(...) ?

Hi
yes i did

they say out in the web this is "All output files are unicode text"

You can use this code:

Dim b() As Byte = Bit.InputStreamToBytes(File.OpenInput(File.DirAssets, "c325d.txt"))
Log(BytesToString(b, 4, b.Length - 4, "UTF-16LE")) 'it skips the 4 BOM bytes.
