Even when I pass the ANSI encoded file or UTF7 encoded file into this StreamReader object, it always return the UTF8 encoding code page!! irrespective of the encoding of the file "C:\TestFeeds\test.txt". Here the code segment always returns UTF8 encoding code page (i.e.

If the file is not BOM but only UTF8 encoded, then need to perform some action to this file.

NET Core 3.0 (depends on, but since with this version, it’s in shared framework) The interface and other classes has been resigned so it's easier to use and better object oriented design (OOD). Which are ports of the Mozilla Universal Charset Detector. This package is based on Ude and since version 2 also on uchardet, Detect character set for files, streams and other bytes.ĭetection of character sets with a simple and redesigned interface. Implementations of this interface use various heuristics to detect the character encoding of a text document based on given input metadata or the first few bytes of the document stream.
