UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS to TextEncoding

General
1

UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS returns a string version of the charset it detected, is there an existing good way to get a TextEncoding object from MBS based on this, or should I just loop through all the TextEncoding InternetNames and compare them?

For what it’s worth in the future, this works.

[code]Function GetEncoding(sInput as String) As TextEncoding
dim oEncodingDetection as new UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS(UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS.FilterAll)
oEncodingDetection.AddData(sInput)
oEncodingDetection.Finish

dim sEncodingName as String = oEncodingDetection.LastCharSet
dim oEncoding as TextEncoding

dim iEncCount as Integer = Encodings.Count - 1
for i as Integer = 0 to iEncCount
if sEncodingName = Encodings.Item(i).InternetNameMBS then
oEncoding = Encodings.Item(i)
exit
end
next

return oEncoding
End Function
[/code]

I do this…

[code]Function GetEncoding(sInput as String) As TextEncoding
Dim oEncodingDetection As New UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS(UniversalCharacterDetectionMBS.FilterAll)
oEncodingDetection.AddData(sInput)
oEncodingDetection.Finish

Return GetInternetTextEncoding(oEncodingDetection.LastCharSet)
End Function[/code]
…but after posting I just noticed that GetInternetTextEncoding is OSX only for some reason.
Strange.
