when i need to implement a console app to read and write the french characters in different document type, such as html, txt, and rtf.
since i uses the File.ReadAllText method to load the content into Memory, if i use the ReadAllText method without the Encoding parameters. the french content will be unable to maintained. it will cause the output of write operation with some weird characters.
string fileContent = File.ReadAllText(signatureTemplateFileName, Encoding.Default);
after the content was loaded, then the content will be wrtie to a new file based on the file format.
for HTML file, we should use
Unicode Encoding
using (FileStream fs = File.Open(signatureFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs,
Encoding.Unicode))
{
writer.Write(fileContent);
}
}
for RTF file, we should use
Default Encoding
using (FileStream fs = File.Open(signatureFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs,
Encoding.Default))
{
writer.Write(fileContent);
}
}
for TXT file, we should use
Unicode Encoding
using (FileStream fs = File.Open(signatureFileName, FileMode.Create, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None))
{
using (StreamWriter writer = new StreamWriter(fs,
Encoding.Unicode))
{
writer.Write(fileContent);
}
}
