Question

I have a question- when I export my data to text, my text file is not created properly- bullets are messed up.
I have tried to use actual bullet or byte bullet; does not work!

Could you advise on what I’m doing wrong?

public void createFile()
{
    String Body;
    String TAB = "\t";
    String RETURN = "\r\n";

    Byte[] buffer = new byte[] { (byte)149 };
    string bullet = Encoding.GetEncoding(1252).GetString(buffer);

    Body = TAB + bullet + TAB + "TEXT1" + RETURN;
    Body = Body + "•" + TAB + "TEXT2" + RETURN;
    System.IO.StreamWriter file = new System.IO.StreamWriter(@"c:\fname.txt");
    file.WriteLine(Body);
    file.Close();
}

Ok, I needed to specify different encoding:

        String correctString ="•";
        System.IO.StreamWriter ansiWriter = new StreamWriter(@"c:\file.txt", false, Encoding.GetEncoding(1250));
        ansiWriter.WriteLine(correctString);
        ansiWriter.Close();
