I am sure I am missing something but how do I tell if a file is ASCII/UTF8 etc? I can see if it is DOS or UNIX at the bottom of the screen. I can save it as ASCII or UTF8 but I cannot see how to tell what the file is when I open it.
You have seen already that the second box in the status bar at bottom of the UltraEdit/UEStudio window shows you which line terminator the current file has: DOS, UNIX or MAC.
This box shows you also the encoding. Here is a complete list for DOS terminated files:
DOS ... ASCII/ANSI - no encoding = no encoding info! U-DOS ... Unicode Little Endian UTF-16 LE UBE-DOS ... Unicode Big Endian UTF-16 BE U8-DOS ... Unicode UTF-8 UESC-DOS ... ASCII Escaped Unicode
