Thank you! Your code works great!

Thank you. I will test your answers and let you know. Yes, the first code was not correct. Here is the code I am working on.
start_time = ElapsedMilliseconds()

If ReadFile(0, "test.txt")
bom = ReadStringFormat(0)
Size.q = Lof(0)
If Size > 0
*p = AllocateMemory(Size + 2)
If *p
ReadData(0, *p ...

There is a script for getting the value of a string from an array. It is designed to work with large files weighing from 300 mb, but creating a script takes a very long time. 10-20 times longer than in Autoit. Is it possible to speed it up?
If ReadFile(0, "test.txt")
bom = ReadStringFormat(0 ...

when I enable this option, the exe file does not run at all.

Does PureBasic support Windows scalability?

Look in the reference file:

I tried this method. The file still converts to UTF8 BOM if I use WritePreferenceString.

I need to write to an existing file. And if I use CreatePreferences + #PB_Preference_NoBOM then the file will be overwritten and its contents will disappear.

The default WritePreferenceString writes to UTF BOM. How to make it writes to UTF8 without BOM?

What does ANSI have to do with it? I meant either UTF8 or UTF BOM.

Writing a program to convert text that offers to convert it in another program... I don't think this is serious.

There is no safe method to distinguish between ASCII and UTF8
But it is necessary to define.

Interesting, which other language can detect a UTF8 text file without BOM by a quick look at it?

For example, in Autotit it is solved by one line
FileGetEncoding ( "filehandle/filename" [, mode = 1 ...

Thank you! Now it's clear. But how do you determine UTF8 without BOM? Can PureBasic do this?

How to find out the values ​​of other constants?
This function is kind of strange. It probably defines the encoding, but not the whole one. It doesn't define the most common UTF8 without BOM. So what's the point of it?? In other languages, such obvious and everyday functions are presented much more ...

The help says that ReadStringFormat(#File) should return strings. For example, #PB_UTF16BE. But when I check a file in PB_UTF16BE encoding, it returns 4. For a file in UTF8, BOM returns 2. For ANSI - 24. How is that possible?

If If InitNetwork()I removed other errors appear. Is it possible to replace it with something else? Or how to use Zgku thenI removed other errors appear. Is it possible to replace it with something else? Or how to use PureAutoIt then?
