Hi for the mooc I'm working on a srt to vtt converter. 1 00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,440 Hello.

This week, we'll get to the heart of the matter, 00:00:10.600 --> 00:00:12.160 align:middle about syntax especially. It works more or less. Now I face the problem that the files people provided me have different encodings. (I guess) because when I do not treat the input (for example withLinuxLineEndings) I get some CRs after the conversion eventhough I copy some file content and all the line ending I output are lf (or can be customizable. I cannot apply garbage in gabrage out because the files should work. So I thought that I should just convert first the string I read using withLinuxLineEndings so that all cr, crlf are converted into lf. But since files have different encodings I end up something to issues too many lf. Does any of you have an idea how to handle this. I did not find a way to know the encoding of a file (not the bom) just the file ending. Stef
