It hasn't been addressed because it's not really relevant to the

to discover the text encoding of the text files you're dealing with.
But aside from both being about text files, that question is unrelated
to the question of how to process a large text file line-by-line.
Would a correct implementation not depend on being able to iterate
over characters, and not simply using a fixed step size? I wanted to
call attention to this because I, perhaps incorrectly, assumed that it
would be. I think that providing a general solution to this problem,
one that works for all text encodings, is difficult enough that it
should be provided by a library. That said, most developers (the OP
included) probably wouldn't require a completely general solution, and
might be able to cobble together something that works fine with the
data that they have to deal with.
