Description

Input

choice

If the input data is binary, this property specifies the input's encoding format:

(AutoDetect)	-	Attempts to automatically determine the encoding type. The encoding type selected may not be what the user expects.
utf-8	-	Unicode utf-8
shift_jis	-	Shift JIS
euc-jp	-	EUC-JP
iso-2022-jp	-	ISO-2022-JP
utf-16	-	Unicode utf-16

Output

choice

If the output is binary, this property defines the encoding format.

(String)	-	Outputs the binary as a String.
utf-8	-	Unicode utf-8
shift_jis	-	Shift JIS
euc-jp	-	EUC-JP
iso-2022-jp	-	ISO-2022-JP
utf-16	-	Unicode utf-16

Topic

In the case of binary input, the data is first converted to a Unicode String. Because of this, if converting data from shift_jis to euc-jp, it is possible that the resulting conversion may not be as expected.
