Hi,

reading a textfile with the ReadLine method of a Streamreader objects the
resulting string does not contain the special characters from the source
file: e.g. Paragraph § and all the umlauts are missing.

Is there a work around or solution for this problem?

Thanks in advance
 
If you are using any special encoding format, then you need to specify that
when you open the stream.

Dim sr As New StreamReader(fs, Encoding.GetEncoding(1256))
