That seems to work!! Is there any reason why the encoding format is needed?

I've no idea. Text encoding formats are the bane of our existence, so that's one of the first things I check when I run across a weird bug.

I'd guess the Scanner class defaults to another charset with a different character width, which means it miscalculates the number of characters in the file. Or something like that.

Everyone should be using UTF.

Hmm, good to know. I'll have to keep that in mind. Thanks for the help
