We support more than 80 different character encoders. Of course, you should first know what encoder is being used, after that, it is easy to use a different encoder. Consider: '/tmp/foo.txt' asFileReference readStreamEncoded: #utf8 do: [ :in | in upToEnd ]. '/tmp/foo.txt' asFileReference readStreamEncoded: #windows1252 do: [ :in | in upToEnd ]. '/tmp/foo.txt' asFileReference readStreamEncoded: #latin1 do: [ :in | in upToEnd ]. ZnCharacterEncoder knownEncodingIdentifiers. #windows1252 asZnCharacterEncoder. If you could post a small example of your file, I could try to help. It will probably be #windows1252 or #latin1. HTH, Sven
