Reading txt files in Metro and reading txt files in Metro

Reading txt files in Metro and reading txt files in Metro

Case 1: txt is in Utf8 format.

Read code: IList <String> lines = await Windows. Storage. FileIO. ReadLinesAsync (file); // read normally

 

Case 2: txt is not in utf8 format, for example, GB2312.

Using (var stream = await file. OpenAsync (FileAccessMode. Read ))
{

Encoding encoding = Encoding. GetEncoding ("GB2312 ");

StreamReader reader = new StreamReader (stream. AsStream (), encoding );

Char [] chars = new char [stream. Size];

Reader. ReadAsync (chars, 0, chars. Length );

String text = new string (chars); // convert it to string

}

The text format must be known. Otherwise, there is no way. Metro does not know how to read the text format. Please leave a message if you know.
