Thanks for the info Branco but G�ran was right. It's not UTF-8. I can see
why you'd think that based on the header that was in the original file but
that's in there incorrectly which is why I need to change it.

I may be wrong, but it seems to me that your code tries to read the
file as if it was in ISO-8859-1 ecoding, while the OP's first post
states that the files are in UTF-8 and he wants then in ISO-8859-1. He
is probably reading garbage atm.

If he wants to pursue this approach, then the *reading* encoding
should be set to UTF8:

<aircode>
Dim FileName As String = _
Path.Combine(xmlFilesLocation, sArticleToPost)
Dim Lines As String() = _
System.IO.File.ReadAllLines(FileName, Encoding.UTF8)
Lines(0) = "<?xml version=""1.0"" encoding=""ISO-8859-1""?>"
System.IO.File.WriteAllLines( _
FileName, Lines, Encoding.GetEncoding("ISO-8859-1"))
</aircode>

HTH.

Regards,

Branco.
