does FileReadToArray() detect file encoding automatically?

[orbs]

the help file states: "... functions such as FileReadLine..." regarding functions that automatically detect the file encoding. which are the other "such" functions? is FileReadToArray() one of them?

i'm also unsure on how to test this. i used a simple script to FileOpen() a new text file with all encoding formats mentioned in the FileOpen() help. then i used FileReadToArray() to read it - i get back a good result for all encoding formats. so either FileReadToArray() is detecting the encoding properly, or i'm testing it wrong. how can i be sure?

EDIT: that's my test script. using 128,64,32,16 instead of 256 for encoding formats.

#include <Array.au3>

$sFile=@ScriptDir&'\FileReadToArray-test.txt'

$hFile=FileOpen($sFile,2+256)
FileWriteLine($hfile,'Line1')
FileWriteLine($hfile,'Line2')
FileClose($hFile)

$a=FileReadToArray($sFile)
_ArrayDisplay($a)

I would say your testing method is sound. Rather than just opening the files, I assume you also wrote to each file with different encoding options. I can't imagine how FileReadToArray could work at all if it didn't automatically detect the encoding.
