Read file with special characters

Code: Select all
Array := []
Loop, Read, file.txt
Array.Push(StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ","))
How can I adapt this code to read special characters in file.txt properly?

Code: Select all
Array := []
Loop, Read, file.txt
for k, v in (StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ","))
Array.Push(v)
for index, element in Array
Menu, MySubmenu2, Add, % element.1, Function
Menu, MySubmenu, Add, MenuItemName, :MySubmenu2
I did not expect the subsequent code to be relevant, but I am getting a
submenu does not exist error.
To clarify: I am trying to get characters like
ü to render in
MySubmenu2.

If you provide an example of the file and the desired effect or output, along with a description of what the script should do, the coding will be more straightforward.

The file looks like Söme wörds,1,234,abc. I want to render Söme wörds in MySubmenu2 instead of having ö appear as gibberish.

This worked at my end.
Code: Select all
Loop, Read, %A_ScriptDir%\temp.txt
For k, v in StrSplit(A_LoopReadLine, ",")
Menu, MySubmenu2, Add, %v%, Function
Menu, MySubmenu, Add, Test, :MySubmenu2
Menu, MySubmenu, Show
Return
With only a single line in the file, you do not need a loop.
You might have to save your AHK script file, or your text file, as UTF-8 with BOM signature.

Changing the text file from UTF-8 to UTF-8-BOM did the trick.
