UTF8

[standay]

What is the simplest way to load a file with specific encoding? On most editor components I use I can do it this way:

Code: Select all

memo.Lines.LoadFromFile('test.txt',TEncoding.UTF8);

What I did with the SRichView was this:

Code: Select all

  ms := TStringStream.Create('', TEncoding.UTF8);
  ms.LoadFromFile(FileName);
  ms.Position := 0;
  SRichViewEdit1.ActiveEditor.InsertText( ms.DataString );
  ms.Free;

That works but is there some easier way I'm missing?

Also, is there a way to make opening and saving text files as UTF8 default?

Thanks!

The simplest way is to specify 65001 in the CodePage parameter of the text loading methods.

Loading:

Code: Select all

  RichViewEdit1.Clear;
  RichViewEdit1.LoadText(FileName, 0, 0, False, 65001);
  RichViewEdit1.Format;

Inserting at the caret position:

Code: Select all

  RichViewEdit1.InsertTextFromFileUTF8(FileName);

or

Code: Select all

  RichViewEdit1.InsertTextFromFile(FileName, 65001);

Thanks Sergey, I'll give this a try later today.

Yes, all these worked, thanks. Also used:

Code: Select all

SRichViewEdit1.ActiveEditor.InsertTextFromFile(FileName, TEncoding.UTF8.CodePage);

Which works too.
