encoding while parsing - polish symbols

[Kamil Lewandowski]

Hi 

I'm new on developing in node and i'm stuck with parsing csv file with polish symbols. Example using fast-csv with encoding settings utf16le / utf8 /base64 with "łódź" in source:

[ '齤਍' ],
[ '��d�' ],
[ 's/Nknw0K' ]

how should I load file represents texts in Central European and Eastern European languages ??

Path i try with fast-csv package

var fs = require('fs');

var csv = require("fast-csv");

var stream = fs.createReadStream("test2.csv", {

    encoding: "utf8",

    header: "true",

    rowDelimiter:';'

}

);

var csvStream = csv()

    .on("data", function(data){

         console.log(data);

    })

    .on("end", function(){

         console.log("done");

    });

stream.pipe(csvStream);

You'll need Iconv to convert from whatever encoding the file is in (most likely "ISO 8859-2") to UTF-8 first.

Something like this instead of the last line above:

var Iconv = require('iconv').Iconv;

var iconv = new Iconv('latin2', 'utf-8');

stream.pipe(iconv).pipe(csvStream);
