Reading ascii txt file into array and writing it.

[Choller]

I'm reading a txt file into an array and then writing a new file one line at a time. The reason i'm using array is that i'm searching for a few lines that i want to find and replace.

However in my file I have some ascii characters but they aren't read well. I read something about System.Text.Encoding.Default but I don't know how to implement it in my code. Can anyone help me with this?

Here's my code

        Dim line As New List(Of String)
        line.AddRange(IO.File.OpenText("C:\hello.txt").ReadToEnd.Split(Environment.NewLine))

        'System.Text.Encoding.Default

        Using sw As StreamWriter = File.CreateText("C:\goodbye.txt")

            Dim linel As String
            For Each linel In line
                sw.WriteLine(linel)
            Next

            sw.Flush()
        End Using
