International Text

Chris Beach · May 23rd, 2004, 05:28 AM

I have filenames that I am reading into a list box, some of the file names contain international characters ie:

Code:

RÃ¶yksopp - Melody A M - 01 - So Easy.mp3

I then want to write these files to a text file but they are coming out as:

Code:

RÃÂ¶yksopp - Melody A M - 01 - So Easy.mp3

I use:

Code:

sr.WriteLine(lstMP3.Items[x].ToString());

where sr is a StreamWriter object.
I've looked through the help and the beginning c# and pro c# books but have gotten rather confused.

I think I have to pass IFormattable or something to the ToString but not sure how.

I guess there is no problem in save/read file, problem should be at display time. Did u try ti change the font?! do u print at console or its sdispaling at Windows form?

HTH.

:) Actually it was at the save point, the filenames displayed in a listbox correctly.

I had to change the way I used the StreamWriter by adding a Text.Encoding.Defualt paramater...unicode, ascii, utf7/8 didn't seem to work but defualt did...which is slightly odd.

But I did manage to fix it.
