I use it this way...

Calculate lvSerialTextFile as con(lvDrv,lvDir,'Serial.txt')
Do lvFileObj.$openfile(lvSerialTextFile) Returns lvError
Do lvFileObj.$readcharacter(kUniTypeAuto,lvSerialText) Returns lvError
Do lvFileObj.$closefile()

Subject: $O6 - file import problem

Dear all,

I want to import a csv file into Studio 6, however having trouble with the encoding. Its native format is UTF-8, however 'Read file as character' results in a strange looking Thai or Chinese character set when imported.  $root.$prefs.$importencoding is set to kUniTypeUTF8

When I convert the csv file to ANSI and try to import it (encoding set to AnsiCentralEuropean) Omnis crashes.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Mischa
