Read text file and Windows-1252 problem

[bruno40 (fourchette)]

Hello,

On reading an ANSI file with “Read text file” activity, we have problem with encoding “Windows-1252” :

It always fails with error :

One or more errors occurred. (‘Windows-1252’ is not a supported encoding name. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method. (Parameter ‘name’)) (‘Windows-1252’ is not a supported encoding name. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method. (Parameter ‘name’)) (‘Windows-1252’ is not a supported encoding name. For information on defining a custom encoding, see the documentation for the Encoding.RegisterProvider method. (Parameter ‘name’))

“Windows-1252” has been copy/paste from Supported Character Encoding
It seems “iso-8859-1” is a workaround.

Please, help,
Bruno
