Ah, thanks for the information. That should make dealing with UTF-16 and maybe 32 a lot easier. You've confirmed my suspicions about the other encodings; I didn't know that for sure, though. That's too bad, I guess. But, if there's no real solution, it makes my job as a programmer a lot easier and I can be at peace. :) I figure giving them the option to enter a secondary encoding to try for if UTF-8 doesn't work is a good idea. Right now it's just in saved settings, but I'm thinking about having a window pop up when this happens, allowing them to select one (including the current locale, I suppose—maybe that should be the default, but I'm guessing for this program, most of the txt files used will not have originated on their computers). _______________________________________________ Vala-list mailing list Vala-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/vala-list
