Hi there

I have tryed and tryed, but with no luck.

I have some files in Unicode mostly UTF-8 and with 
them I have no trouble.
 
But the UTF-16 files are making me loo my last to hair

For UTF-8 I use TMemoryStream->LoadFromFile and then
MultiByteToWideChar and WideCharToMultiByte 
learned here in the NG and it works grat.

When I load a UTF-16 file into the TMemoryStream
it is totaly crap.

I have a hex editor and when I open the same file
in that the first to bytes are FF and FE the next 
is the first real character in the file < after 
that a 0 ? 0 x and so on everything looks as expected.

I realy hope sombody have an example on how to 
read a UTF-16  plain text file

Thanks in advance
Asger

Hi there

As it turned out, it was the wrong type of files I was trying 
to read I was opening some *.xls files instead of *.xsl.
The files I was opening is binary file, not for me ;-)
