If the file is UTF-8 or ANSI, the above should work. UTF-8 was designed to be backward compatible with ANSI. One of the beauties of UTF-8. But yes, with other encodings it's a problem. And exactly the reason I think TStrings and the whole FPC for that matter should start supporting Unicode somehow. And that's why I urge all core FPC developers to try and finalize a Unicode design. Otherwise you leave it up to developers to keep adding such shitty hacks which could cause more issues in the long term - instead of solving issues.
