Unicode

[Judith]

Hello everybody!

Does anybody know how I can open a Unicode-encoded
textfile and get the correct content from it? I'm aware
of the Forms 2.0 Object library, but it won't display the
correct characters either, there seems to be something
going wrong when reading the lines of the file already.
Currently the result I get is e. g. "±ÅÄÌÂ" for the
Greek word "autos" (alpha-ypsilon-tau-omicron with tonic
accent-sigma) if the file is unicode-encoded. With a UTF-
8 encoding, the result is "αÏ.Ï"ÏOÏ," for the same word.
I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.
If you can help, please send me an e-mail at
(e-mail address removed)
Thanks!

Judith

I'm using Microsoft Visual Basic 6.0.

Not much help from me, but this is a VB.NET ("dotnet", see group name)
group. Older VB versions are handled at one of the microsoft.public.vb.*
groups.

This is a VB.NET language group. Post your VB6 related questions to one

I'm sorry. This was the group I got redirected to from
the VB 6 documentation & download center.
