read streams line by line

Question

Is there a way in Delphi to read streams ,line by line?

Is there a way to set the encoding of the stream?

I know of

TEncoding.getEncodingPage(1250); 

How to get it from stream?

Answer 1

I think you're looking for TStreamReader. You set the encoding in the constructor and then call ReadLine.

In terms of how to get the encoding from the stream, that depends very much on what is in the stream, doesn't it?
