Re: Guessing the encoding of a test file...

[peterwawood via use-livecode]

PaulIf it would help, I could make a very crude Rebol command line script to 
read a file, guess the encoding and print the encoding. It would give a crude 
way to compare the results against your current routine.Rebol is easy to 
download and doesn't require installation but is 32-bit only so the macOS 
version  won't run on macOS Catalina.PeterPS Once again sorry for the top 
posting.

via use-livecode wrote:> PaulI wrote a simple function to guess the encoding of 
a file but in Rebol not LiveCode. I'm not sure how it compares with your 
current function in terms of accuracy. It is being used by a company which does 
a lot of text processing. (Though I don't know if that is a good reccomendation 
or not). The method I used is explained in the brief documentation 
-http://www.rebol.org/documentation.r?script=str-enc-utils.r]. The rules could 
be used to create a LiveCode function.PeterPS Sorry for top posting, I'm 
replying from a mobile app.Peter,Thank you. While I would have loved to see 
this as a LC script for comparison to my own routine, this is the sort of 
replies I was looking for. Other routines I could compare mine to for seeking 
possible improvements in my own 
code._______________________________________________use-livecode mailing
