Reading a single byte isn't strictly enough Nigel

I am using the following to create a text file. But I need the text file saved in UTF-8 format. How can I do that? Dim filesys, filetxt, getname, path Set filesys = CreateObject('Scripting.FileSystemObject') Set filetxt = filesys.CreateTextFile('c: mms.cfg', True) path = filesys. This is very easy inPOwerSHell but not so easy in.

For a Little-endian Unicode file, there would be ff,fe at the start

For a Big-Endian Unicode file, there would be fe,ff at the start

For a UTF-8 file, there would be ef,bb,bf at the start

If the file contains ANSI data then it means it contains text in one of the many single-byte or multi-byte character sets, and your tests could then mistake the contents

A better way of reading the leading bytes (avoiding character-set conversion by the Input() function) might be:

Dim b() As Byte, iFn As Integer
iFn = FreeFile()
Open sFile For Binary Access Read As #iFn
ReDim b(LOF(iFn) - 1)
Get #iFn, , b
' Tests bytes b(0) to b(2), if they're present (file may be less than 3 bytes long)
Close #iFn

For a file (add your own constants for XXX_FILE):

Public Function GetFileEncoding(fnam)

Dim b1, FileNum
On Error Resume Next
FileNum = FreeFile
Open fnam For Binary As #FileNum
b1 = Input(1, #FileNum)
If Asc(b1) = &HFF Then
GetFileEncoding = UNICODE_FILE
ElseIf Asc(b1) = &HEF Then
GetFileEncoding = UTF8_FILE
Else
GetFileEncoding = ANSI_FILE
End If
Close #FileNum
