C# File.ReadAllText Encoding.Utf8

Question

I try to read string from a HTML file. Here is my code:

string result = File.ReadAllText(@"C:\temp\invoice.html", Encoding.UTF8);

Since the character set of the html file is charset=windows124, the result value does not come as utf-8

The result value contains;

 �</span><br>BAH�EL�EVLER<span>

Answer 1

Based on the location specified under your profile, I assume you mean windows-1254 (Turkish)?

Try:

Encoding turkishEncoding = Encoding.GetEncoding("windows-1254");
string result = File.ReadAllText(@"C:\temp\invoice.html", turkishEncoding);

For reference, see the encodings-list under: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.text.encoding?view=net-6.0
