[Pharo-users] How to detect encoding of a file

Hello, We have a problem using Moose because we have files which we don't know the encoding. Currently we have this implementation to get the content of a file: completeText self fileReference exists ifFalse: [ ^ '' ]. ^ self fileReference readStreamDo: [ :s | [ s contents ] on: Error do: [ [ s converter: Latin1TextConverter new; contents ] on: Error do: [ '' ] ] ] But, we have a problem because we have currently some files at Synectique in ISO-8859-1. The problem is that #contents is able to read some of the files without throwing an error, but the content is not right because it is not the good encoding. Thus I wonder if it is possible to get the Encoding of a FileReference in Pharo to be able to read the file with the right encoding? Something like the bash command `file -I myFile.txt`. -- Cyril Ferlicot https://ferlicot.fr http://www.synectique.eu 2 rue Jacques Prévert 01, 59650 Villeneuve d'ascq France
