You might also be able to do this quite easily in Python, looking at the file itself - this stackoverflow question has a few good suggestions. And, their encoding detection is the best there is. That has support for every encoding under the sun, and can happily convert between them. If you know Java or C, you might also want to look at the intel ICU library. Once it's in N++, adding it to Python Script is a 10 minute job.Īlternative answer: N++ encoding detection is sketchy at best, you might want to look at more specialized tools to do encoding conversion/detection (Kaboom has been mentioned several times, although not used it myself). Patches sometimes sit there for ever, so I'll post a note on the Notepad-Plus Open Discussion forum, but then I'll leave it to you to "market it". I'll try and test it later, and if it works OK, I'll submit it.
Long(er) anser: That, to my view, is a bug in N++, however, messing with the encoding-code is not something I fancy getting into! However, getting the status bar text has been requested more than once, so I've made a patch that would enable that from N++. Short answer : No - there's no API in Notepad++ to get the text on the status bar, and as you've discovered, it only reports ENC8BIT or COOKIE for ANSI or UTF8 w/o BOM files, and still reports COOKIE for ISO-8859-1. (I did see the post - Sourceforge's email notification system does work 99% of the time :)
