Hi,

I try to read content of a text file with encoding GB2312 (simplified chinese encoding), I get the encoding information from one windows software named "EmEditor".
I tried all the string encoding that cocoa provides but still cannot read the content, what can I do now?
Following is related code:


int encoders[ENCODERSLENGTH] = {
		30, //Western (Mac OS Roman)
		-2147483647, //Japanese (Mac OS)
		-2147483646, //Traditional Chinese (Mac OS)
		-2147483645, //Korean (Mac OS)
		-2147483644, //Arabic (Mac OS)
		-2147483643, //Hebrew (Mac OS)
		-2147483642, //Greek (Mac OS)
		-2147483641, //Cyrillic (Mac OS)
		-2147483639, //Devanagari (Mac OS)
		-2147483638, //Gurmukhi (Mac OS)
		-2147483637, //Gujarati (Mac OS)
		-2147483627, //Thai (Mac OS)
		-2147483623, //Simplified Chinese (Mac OS)
		-2147483622, //Tibetan (Mac OS)
		-2147483619, //Central European (Mac OS)
		6, //Symbol (Mac OS)
		....
	};

	int i = 0;
	for (i; i < ENCODERSLENGTH; i++)
	{
		NSStringEncoding encoding = encoders[i];
		NSError *error;
		NSString *contentString = [NSString stringWithContentsOfFile:filePath
								usedEncoding:&encoding
								       error:&error];
		if (error != nil)
		{
			NSLog([error localizedDescription]);
		}

		if (contentString != nil)
		{
			[textView setString:contentString];
			break;
		}
	}
