Reading Internet Text File

Targets iOS
1

I am having trouble accessing the contents of a text file that I read from the net.
It only has one number in it at the moment ‘3’ (http://www.sallyfitz.com/Sponsor.txt)

I read the file ok using a socket used elsewhere in my app

I have tried the contents of URLtext and splitting it into an array. In the debugger I can see the value 3 in the array lines(0) but when I try to parse it to integer or simply use it as text I can’t get a value.

URLText = Xojo.Core.TextEncoding.UTF16LittleEndian.ConvertDataToText(Content)  
Lines() = URLText.Split(&u0A)


dim a As integer = integer.Parse(lines(0))

select case a
case 0
  ImageView2.Visible = false
  Label1.Visible = false
case 1
  ImageView2.Image = Mypic1
case 2
  ImageView2.Image = MyPic2
end select
2

I tried a variation

Dim locale As New Xojo.Core.Locale("en-US")
Dim value As Integer
value = Integer.FromText(URLText, locale)

And the error comes back as “3 is not a valid integer”

So it actually sees the 3??

3

Is it really UTF16LittleEndian ? Asian language ?
