Reading unicode text file

[bayenCPG]

Thanks Paul! Got the file openned perfectly.

Matthew: can't seem to get your suggested setup to work. I'm using "Read Binary File.vi" with a 1D array of U16 as data type, but keep getting error 116 (Unflatten or byte stream read operation failed due to corrupt, unexpected, or truncated data). Then, "Convert UTF16 String to ASCII.vi" throws error 12 (Some system capacity necessary for operation is not enabled).

Sorry Matthew, I was using the wrong inputs for Read Binary File -- got your suggested method to work as well.

Thanks again!

I don't know where I got this, but found it when I needed to do some Unicode conversion from the registry.

It's from a post here on this forum from me where I posted that library.

Hi Bayen,

Could you please share me the same snip or the VI which you said it got working.

Thanks in Advance.

I did a thing.

Does not support complex Emoji or other 4 byte characters.

Requires the Unicode toolkit from VIPM (get here).

Inside my (still incomplete) Unicode project (attached), there are the functions:

• Read From ASCII or UTF Text File - Output Code Points.vi
• Read From ASCII or UTF Text File - Output UTF-16 LE.vi
• Read From ASCII or UTF Text File - Output Unicode.vi

They will read:

• ASCII
• UTF-8
• UTF-16 BE
• UTF-16 LE
• UTF-32 BE
• UTF-32 LE
