Solution 1

Try:

C#

byte[][] lines = File.ReadLines(x).Skip(z).Take(c).Select(l => Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes(l)).ToArray();

Why? That would just convert it back to Unicode again...

What are you trying to do? Not the specific code, but why are you trying to use ASCII? What do you need it for, and what are you going to do with it?

File.ReadLine is taking second argument for Encoding Type.

So your code must be -

C#

string[] body = File.ReadLines(x,Encoding.ASCII).Skip(z).Take(c).ToArray();

But if you want to read special characters then -

C#

string[] body = File.ReadLines(x,Encoding.UTF8).Skip(z).Take(c).ToArray();

Hope this will help you...

It means that your file has special characters and it is save in UTF 8 format. But if you want to read special characters then use Encoding.UTF8 type in second argument.
