Problem about read .txt file

Ruby
1

I have read text by this code

  message = ""

  file = File.new(fileDirectory , "r")
    while line = file.gets
      message = message+line
    end
  file.close
  puts message
  @textbox1.set_value(message)

fileDirectory is a path of text file
@textbox1 is textctrl that I want to show text in that file

and I have problem, it can only read text file with Encoding UTF-8, it
can’t read from ANSI to show in textctrl (@textbox1) but

puts message

can show message normally with encode UTF-8 and ANSI

now I have problem how I can show text with encode ANSI in @textbox1??

That sounds toolkit-specific. What GUI library are you using?

How is the above different or better than:
message = IO.read( fileDirectory )
?

Dont know about wxruby but in ruby-gtk you can use Glib to convert
charsets

But as someone else wrote before here, play around with iconv or similar
to convert it before displaying on your GUI
