How to see if a file is ASCII or UTF8 etc

[scraulb]

I am sure I am missing something but how do I tell if a file is ASCII/UTF8 etc? I can see if it is DOS or UNIX at the bottom of the screen. I can save it as ASCII or UTF8 but I cannot see how to tell what the file is when I open it.


Thanks

You have seen already that the second box in the status bar at bottom of the UltraEdit/UEStudio window shows you which line terminator the current file has: DOS, UNIX or MAC.

This box shows you also the encoding. Here is a complete list for DOS terminated files:

DOS ... ASCII/ANSI - no encoding = no encoding info!
U-DOS ... Unicode Little Endian UTF-16 LE
UBE-DOS ... Unicode Big Endian UTF-16 BE
U8-DOS ... Unicode UTF-8
UESC-DOS ... ASCII Escaped Unicode
