GuessPascalEncoding function
Works like GuessEncoding but also supports {%encoding ...} directive.
Declaration
function GuessPascalEncoding(const s: string): stringArguments
s | String with the content examined in the routine. |
Function result
Encoding name detected, or a default value.
Description
GuessPascalEncoding is a
String function which tries to
determine the encoding used for Pascal source code specified in
S.
The return value is like in
GuessEncoding.
First it checks S for various Byte Order Marks at the start, including
UTF8BOM, UTF16LEBOM, and UTF16BEBOM.
Then it checks for an explicit '{%encoding' marker at the start of
the value. When present, the value after the marker (up to the closing
'}' character) is normalized and used as the return value.
Without a '{%encoding' marker the function continues like GuessEncoding.
An experiment, built from development snapshots. Not the official Free Pascal or Lazarus documentation.
