Please try it with WindowsArabic (Windows-1256) endcoding. Hope it works.

FYI, I did a session at the last XDC about Text Encodings and their relation to String that I think could help you understand why this didn’t work and is working now.

I don’t see a direct link, so perhaps @Dana Brown could supply one?

You can do string.Convertencoding after you read it with the right one also.

Just FYI
You cannot convert a string from a NIL encoding to another encoding
Conversion only works from a known encoding to another known encoding

But no one can see the session video - all they’d see is the synopsis on the XDC event site
And you cant buy videos one at a time anyway
