Importing some text with apostrophes

Posted 3 years ago

Hello!

I want to import a text in French, but unfortunately apostrohes disappear! Consider

LeTexte = Import["UEMO2021.txt", {"Text", "Lines"}]

While in the original document we have for instance the sentence "j’ai apprécié l’approche de l’origine des prénoms", I obtain in LeTexte : "j’ai apprécié l’approche de l’origine des prénoms".... What should I do? Thanks a lot in advance,

Claude

Thank you very much!

LeTexte = 
  Import["UEMO2021.txt", {"Text", "Lines"}, 
   CharacterEncoding -> "WindowsANSI"];

works perfectly!

Regards, Claude

I think you'll succeed with Mike's suggestion above. But also be aware that different sources can use different characters for apostrophe. So one encoding might not work for all documents.
