Hi.

Been looking for something like this but was wondering. No matter what the encoding is it only seems to return:

C:\Temp\Perl>FileType.exe expected_chinese.txt
1252: Western European (Windows)

I was expecting UTF-8.

It is a command line program. To run it you open up dos by going to start→run and type cmd.

Then you run the program by giving it a file to process.

c:\path\to\FileType.exe c:\path\to\myfile.txt

Hello,

What exactly this exe should do? I'm looking for exactly the same kind of program, but I didn't notice anything, when I ran your program.

I'd appreciate, if you could give me more advice…
