How Can I Best Guess the Encoding when the BOM (Byte Order Mark) is Missing?
I would like to know if there are some delphi libraries for the purpose of detecting the character encoding of a text file.
In my comment there was a link to how-can-i-best-guess-the-encoding-when-the-bom-byte-order-mark-is-missing which may work for you if the text files have no BOM
.
Look at the Charset Detector library and try it out.
It will try to read the BOM
and if it's not there make a best effort guess.
