Codepage Change

Given a text string, how to change its encoding, say, from Windows 1253 to UTF-32 Little Endian?

Do you mean a text file? Strings don't have encodings. Files have encodings.

You could use iconv.exe:

Marcus,
Thanks for your reply.
HTTPRequest>{"http://www.mingpao.com"},,GET,,Text1
HTTPRequest>{"http://www.ejfq.com/home/tc/portfolio.h ... GET,,Text2

Text1 isn't readable thru MDL>.
Text1 is readable thru MDL.

Text1 contains:

Text2 contains:

That may explain the difference.

Question:
How to make Text1 readable by settting codepage to big5-hkscs.
I resent the website's choosing of big5-hkscs, which is very specific to Hong Kong.

To be honest I have absolutely no idea, sorry.

It's ok. If I find the answer, I'll let you know.

Marcus,
Have you checked and confirmed the all string results created by HTTRequest are of nonBOM?
