Text (encoded) FilterOptions Cedric Bosdonnat How to import a plain text file encoded with a given character set

Simply suppose we need to import MyTest.txt which is encoded in IBM850, also knwon as cp850.

For this, we need to use the 'Text (encoded)' filter and configure it properly as shown by the code snippet.

The possible character set codes are all listed on this page: http://equalitylearning.org/~robertz/oo_encoding_indexes.html

Dim oMediaDescriptor(1) as new {@see com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue} sFileUrl = convertToUrl( "H:\My Test.txt" ) oMediaDescriptor(0).name = "FilterName" oMediaDescriptor(0).value = "Text (encoded)" oMediaDescriptor(1).name = "FilterOptions" oMediaDescriptor(1).value = "IBM_850" oDoc = StarDesktop.loadComponentFromURL(sFileURL, "_blank", 0, oMediaDescriptor)
