im using the ReadLine command to read text hawever it is not reading characters corectly.
For example it reads "Ðeãdßáñg" as "edg". skipping the Ð, ã, and ßáñ characters.
One person suggests that I use streamreader to open the text as a binary array. How would I do this? What code should I add?
How can I resolve this problem?
here is a copy of my code:



Code:
Private Sub MenuItem2_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MenuItem2.Click
        Dim myString As String
        Dim input As String
        Dim iCount As Integer
        Dim theFile As FileInfo
        Dim re As StreamReader
        Dim time As Object

        Label2.Text = TimeOfDay
        'Open the file to a stream
        theFile = New FileInfo("C:\Program Files\Novalogic\Delta Force Land Warrior\scores.txt")
        re = theFile.OpenText()

        'Read in the first line
        input = re.ReadLine

        'Loop through each line
        Do
            iCount = iCount + 1

            'This will let the first four lines go, then
            'it will add the rest of the file to myString.
            If iCount > 4 Then
                'You can put a return character inbetween these two if you
                'want to have a new line for each line added.
                myString = myString & vbCrLf & input & " " & Now

                RichTextBox1.Text = myString.ToString()
                
            End If
            'Read in the next line for the loop.
            input = re.ReadLine.
            If input = "" Then
                iCount = -1
            End If

        Loop Until input = "End"



        Dim fs As FileStream
        Dim sw As StreamWriter
        fs = New FileStream("c:\DoneStats.txt", FileMode.Append)
        sw = New StreamWriter(fs)
        Dim itm As Object
        For Each itm In RichTextBox1.Text
            sw.Write(itm)
            re.Close()

        Next
        re.Close()
        sw.Close()
        fs.Close()
        Dim fs2 As FileStream
        Dim sw2 As StreamWriter
        fs2 = New FileStream("C:\Program Files\Novalogic\Delta Force Land Warrior\scores.txt", FileMode.Create)
        sw2 = New StreamWriter(fs2)
    End Sub
