System.IO.StreamReader is not returning single quotes from my file

[Nathan Sokalski]

I am using a System.IO.StreamReader to read a text file that was created
with Notepad. It is returning everything except the single quotes (at least
that is the only thing I have noticed it is not returning). The code I am
using is:

Dim poemstreamreader As System.IO.StreamReader

poemstreamreader = System.IO.File.OpenText(Global.Poems(poemtitle))

cellPoemText.Text = poemstreamreader.ReadToEnd()

poemstreamreader.Close()


I know that it is reading from the correct file, because it is returning all
the characters correctly, I simply need to know how to make it not discard
special characters such as single quotes. How do I do this? Thanks.

Nathan,

You mean something as

cellPoemText.Text = poemstreamreader.ReadToEnd()
poemstreamreader.Close()

cellPoemText.Text = cellPoemText.Text.Replace("'","")

I hope this helps,

Cor

Don't know if this helps:

poemstreamreader = new io.streamreader(Global.Poems(poemtitle),
system.text.encoding.default)

This assumes ANSI encoding of the file.
