Greetings!
I have a bunch of files plain ASCII, UTF8 and UTF16 with and
without BOM
(Byte Order Mark). I had, "I thought", a nice way of figuring
out what
type of encoding the file was (ASCII, UTF8 or UTF16) when the
BOM was
missing, by reading the content and applying the
std.utf.validate
function to the char[] or, wchar[] string. The problem is
that lately,
I am hitting into a wall with the "array cast misalignment"
when casting
wchar[]. ie.
auto text = cast(string) file.read();
wchar[] temp = cast(wchar[]) text;
How about casting to "wchar[]" directory, instead of going
through "string".
What would be the correct process to find out a text file
encoding?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. This is the code that
I have
right now...
I don't know if you use Tango [1], but it has a module [2] to
help with this sort of things.

Thanks, but can't use Tango. Historically, Tango (originally
Mango) and Phobos did not play well, and by the time Tango came
along, my project was done totally using Phobos, so I have to
continue to use Phobos.
