Question

I try to read txt file with next content:

I using this method to read txt file:

public string ReadFileContents()
{
    //this verse is loaded for the first time so fill it from the text file
    var ResrouceStream = Application.GetResourceStream(new Uri("Files/info.txt", UriKind.Relative));
    if (ResrouceStream != null)
    {
        Stream myFileStream = ResrouceStream.Stream;
        if (myFileStream.CanRead)
        {
            StreamReader myStreamReader = new StreamReader(myFileStream);
            //read the content here
            return myStreamReader.ReadToEnd();
        }
    }
    return string.Empty;
    }

This method return to me next string with wrong symbols:

How I can correctly read txt file??

Answer 1

How are you showing the text? Maybe it’s the printing code rather than the reading code.

Also, is the BOM correct on the file? I believe the first 3 bytes specify the encoding type. Are they correct for this encoding?
