Open and save text file in proper encoding Topic is solved

[BriHecato]

I'm working on little editor that change few values in txt file.

Opening with FileRead, jobfile, %path%
changing with StringReplace, jobfileready, jobfile, %changethis%, %changetothat%
Saving with FileDelete, %path% and FileAppend, %jobfileready%, %path%

But i've noticed that when in source jobfile are local characters then saved file is messed up and later it doesn't work where it should. Otherwise everythig works smoothly.

How to open and save keeping the original encoding (i'm not sure if it is ANSi or UTF-8) ??

FileEncoding

If you do not know the original encoding of the file then noone does - it's not stored anywhere.
You could check for the UTF-8 BOM and check if there are any characters that break the UTF-8 rule though.
You could also write an analasys that analyses the raw data and decides on a specific encoding.
