I am working with VBA/excels, reading text file.
I do not know how to detect encoding of file(unicode, SHIFT-JIS)
Please guide me about this problem?

I am quite new to work working with .stl files and in my research, I found they can be opened in a text editor where faces and vertices were clearly written out and easy to read. However, whenever I download a .stl file and open it with a text editor, I get a series of random characters. The same thing happens when I take a .blend file and export it to a .stl file. In spite of this, the .stl files still render correctly. I have attached a picture of what my problem looks like. If anyone could help me out, I would appreciate it.
Thanks.
The random characters when I open .stl files in a text editor.
I have a large text file that I take notes in; Recently, after saving it, it won't open and gives following error. I tried a few things on web that didn't work---opening in different encoding format, etc. Nothing worked. Any idea how I can open it again? Is there a language I can use from bash? I'm very familiar with PHP. Any ideas? Different text editor?
Error:
"The document “ToDo.txt” could not be opened. Text encoding Unicode (UTF-8) isn’t applicable."
"The file may have been saved using a different text encoding, or it may not be a text file."
cat the file from the CLI and make sure your data is still there. Then you could simply copy and paste the output into a new file and hopefully get rid of whatever weird encodings are causing that text editor to not read the file.
It is my understanding that txt files do not have encoding information stored so text editors simply make educated guesses about encoding of a given text file and then display the file on screen using that guessed encoding. If the editor guessed right you get your text on the screen, if the editor guessed wrong, then you (sometimes) get gibberish. Am I getting this right so far?
Now on to my problem. I have my bank statements in a csv file. When I open it in MS Excel 14 (MS Office 2010), it recognises the encoding and displays the problematic work as "obračun". Great. When I open the file in Emacs 24.3.1, it fails to recognise the correct encoding and displays the problematic word as "obra鑾n". Not so great.
My question is: how do I ask Excel which encoding the file is in? So I can tell that to Emacs since Excel obviously guessed correctly.
Thanks.
This could be a possible answer: http://metty-mathews.blogspot.si/2013/08/excel2013-character-encoding.html
After I opened ‘Advanced’ – ‘Web Options’ – ‘Encoding’, it said "Central European (Windows)" in "Save this document as:" field. It turns out that's Microsoft's name for Windows-1250 encoding and it turns out my file was indeed encoded with this encoding.
Is this just pure luck or does this field really show in which encoding Excel is displaying text - that I do not know.
I'm trying to get this text file back to well readable text but I can't seem to find the encoding, it's for an Android application here is the one I'm trying to convert http://ge.tt/53SmHRP1/v/0
Can anyone point me in the right direction or give me a few tips on how to go about this as this is my first time with anything like this.
I've tried opening this with notepad, notepad++ & jedit to no avail the reason why I'm doing this is because I'm trying to create a cheat program for Plague Inc for Android but I can't seem to find the encoding for this file.
