encoding

Returns an encoding object corresponding to the name provided in string. The name should be a name of encoding defined by the International Components for Unicode (ICU). An encoding object can be used with a file object to read it in the specified encoding.

Returns a file object with the given name from the client's download folder, which is to be read in the specified encoding.

Returns a folder object for the client's download folder. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to file <binary_string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.

Returns a file object, corresponding to the full pathname provided in <string>, to be read in the specified encoding.

Ensure not to specify any encoding for file objects already created in previous steps of the relevance expression. For example, the following expression:

does not work as expected and the specified encoding will be ignored because the file object representing "C:\test\aaa.txt" s created first in the local encoding with the expression enclosed parenthesis, and so the subsequent encoding expression makes no sense and is ignored. The correct expression to evaluate to read the file "C:\test\aaa.txt" in "Windows-1252" encoding is:

Note: If the file to open, using the encoding object, has a BOM, it will still be opened using the encoding indicating the BOM.

This is equivalent to folder <binary_string> inspector, but this returns a folder object which is associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

Returns a folder object for the name provided in <string>, associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to hfs file <string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to hfs folder <string> inspector, but this returns a folder object which is associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to native file <string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to native folder <string> inspector, but this returns a folder object which is associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to posix file <string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to posix folder <string> inspector, but this returns a folder object which is associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to symlink <string> inspector, but this returns a symlink object which is to be read in the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the symlink object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to x32 file <string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to x32 folder <string> inspector, but this returns a folder object which is associated with the specified encoding. File objects created by deriving the folder object will be read in the specified encoding.

This is equivalent to x64 file <string> inspector, but this returns a file object which is to be read in the specified encoding.
