Hello
This is probably an easy issue for experts but Google didn't help.
I need to read a text file that contains addresses formatted thusly:
... and write them into this:
The data contains East European characters.
The following code works mostly, but if I don't specify any codeset for the output, it's saved as ASCII (DOC charset), while I get a compile error if I add "Encoding.UTF8" ("Error 1 Overload resolution failed because no accessible 'New' can be called with these arguments").
Does someone know what must be done for VB.Net to handle UTF8 as expected?
Thank you.

etc.Code:
Address1, Address1, Address1
Address2, Address2, Address2

Code:
Dim objReader As New StreamReader("c:\input.utf8.txt", Encoding.Default)
'BAD : ASCII Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter("c:\output.utf8.txt")
'Compile error
Dim objWriter As New StreamWriter("c:\output.utf8.txt",Encoding.UTF8)
Dim Line As String
Dim WholeFile As String = Nothing
Do While objReader.Peek() <> -1
Line = objReader.ReadLine
If Line.Length = 0 Then
WholeFile = WholeFile.Substring(0, WholeFile.Length - 2)
WholeFile = WholeFile + vbCrLf
RichTextBox1.Text = WholeFile
Else
WholeFile = WholeFile + Line + ", "
End If
Loop
objWriter.Write(WholeFile)
objWriter.Close()
objReader.Close()Thank you.
