This should work:
| stream text |
stream := (FileStream fileNamed: '/Users/sven/Desktop/pharo_example_latin1.txt')
converter: Latin1TextConverter new;
yourself.
text := stream contents.
text = 'Teilrückzahlung'.
or this (latest Zn code):
| stream text |
stream := (FileStream fileNamed: '/Users/sven/Desktop/pharo_example_latin1.txt')
binary;
yourself.
text := (ZnCharacterEncoder newForEncoding: 'iso-8859-15')
decodeBytes: stream contents.
text = 'Teilrückzahlung'.
there seems to be an issue with ISO885915TextConverter, check the umlaut
encoding: it adds something called the leadingChar which I don't think is
needed (I don't know why it even exists).
HTH,
