Read text file - encoding problem

[okalinic]

Hello, I am using Read text file activity, but have a problem with encoding for special characters Č, Ž, Ć, Š, Đ. I tryed with “utf-8”, but it doesn’t work.

Does anyone have an idea how to solve the problem and what encoding I should use for it?

Problem with encode

@Guille267 I’m not sure this will solve your issue, but give a try Read text file and store the data in a string variable Then use assign activity to convert the standard characters to utf-8 Then write it back to the text file and check if it is written as expected The assign command is system.Text.Encoding.ASCII.GetString(system.Text.Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(str))

Unfortunatelly, it doesnt work, now “???” is shown instead of special characters…

HI,

Can you share the file which has same encoding? It’s no problem if dummy data.
