how to read this text from file

how to read the text below?

‰€ˆ‡‰�#îõ‘þüŠ ꑯõù ‚†ƒ� -#�ª÷‘þü “‘ ª“îù )øþ¦ùý ¤ª—ùý î‘õ•þø—¤(#•¢þ¢� ø¤÷¢ù ꑯõù îõ‘þü#^a—ú¤�ö^b•¦øû÷¢ð‘ö ¤�ù ¢�÷©^cˆˆƒ�#‚€� «.: õ¬ø¤Š ›¢øñ#…�…ˆí/Š…/ …€�…Š}TK{^aˆˆƒ�#†/„€€#}BF{#ª“îùû‘ý î‘õ•þø—¤ý#ª“îùû‘ý î‘õ•þø—¤ý -- �¥õøöû‘#^c

I use this code but not display all characters

FileStream fs = new FileStream(open.FileName, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
        System.Text.Encoding enc = System.Text.Encoding.UTF8 ;
        byte[] data = new byte[fs.Length];
        fs.Read(data, 0, data.Length);
        string text = enc.GetString(data);

and show text :

†‰€ˆ‡‰Â�#îõâ� �˜Ã¾Ã¼Å ꑯõù ‚†ƒÂ� -#Â�ª÷‘þü “‘ ª“îù )øþ¦ùý ¤ª—ùý î‘õ•þø—¤(#â€� �¢þ¢Â� ø¤÷¢ù ꑯõù îõ‘þü#^a—ú¤Â�ö ^b•¦øû÷¢ð‘ö ¤Â�ù ¢Â�֩^cˆˆƒÂ�#‚₠¬Â� «.: õ¬ø¤Š›¢øñ#…Â�…ˆí/Š…/ …€Â�…Š}TK{^aˆˆƒÂ�#†/„€€#}BF{#ª“îùû ‘ý î‘õ•þø—¤ý#Â� �“îùû‘ý î‘õ

To read the file you need to know what encoding used in this file.

If you don't know, you can iterate through all encodings and see if find the one that works.

const string FileName = "FileName";
foreach (var encodingInfo in Encoding.GetEncodings())
{
    try
    {
        var encoding = encodingInfo.GetEncoding();
        var text = File.ReadAllText(FileName, encoding);
        Console.WriteLine("{0} - {1}", encodingInfo.Name, text.Substring(0, 20));

        // put break point and check if text is readable here
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Failed: {0}", encodingInfo.Name);
    }
}

Disclaimer: assuming this is a text file, assuming the file isn't huge.

Well it looks like you're trying to open a .dat file, which is probably written with a byte format by the looks of it

Try the following code

        File readThis = new File("file directory");
        byte[] aByte = new byte[(int)readThis.length()];
        FileInputStream Fis = new FileInputStream(readThis);
        Fis.read(aByte);
        System.out.println(Contents: "+aByte);
        Fis.close();

Let me know how it goes :)
