iOS Question StringsUtil LoadCSV issue

[iCAB]

Hi All

The attached file is generating an error with B4I (but not B4A) when loaded using the code below

lstLanguageStrings = StringUtils1.LoadCSV(File.DirAssets, "language_strings.csv", ",")

Any feedback is greatly apreciated

 

[Erel]

Can you post the error message?

Hi Erel, here is a little background to help.
The original file contains strings used by the application to display various messages. I was able to narrow down the issue to the line I kept in the attached file. I believe it is related to the 3 dots in "This is a test…", if you remove the dots the file will load

Thank you for the great support

Here is the error message.

StringUtils.LoadCSV expects the file to be encoded in UTF8. Your file is encoded in a different encoding so there is an error.

You can use File.ReadString2 to load the file. Try it with "Windows-1250" encoding. Then save it to a temporary file with File.WriteString.

Sure I will do, but can you please tell me how come the same file works with B4A no problem

Thank you

Android is more forgiving when it tries to decode bytes into string. If you check the result you will see that the 3 dots character was not decoded properly in your B4A program as well as it also assumes that the file is encoded with utf8.

Thank you, it makes perfect sense why the "..." were not displaying properly
