Description

GetSupportedEncodings is a procedure used to get the names for the supported encodings on the platform or operating system. GetSupportedEncodings adds each of the encoding names to List; it does NOT remove any existing content in the string list.

GetSupportedEncodings stores the following values in the List argument:

'UTF-8'
'UTF-8BOM'
'Ansi'
'cp1250' (EncodingCP1250)
'cp1251' (EncodingCP1251)
'cp1252' (EncodingCP1252)
'cp1253' (EncodingCP1253)
'cp1254' (EncodingCP1254)
'cp1255' (EncodingCP1255)
'cp1256' (EncodingCP1256)
'cp1257' (EncodingCP1257)
'cp1258' (EncodingCP1258)
'cp437' (EncodingCP437)
'cp850' (EncodingCP850)
'cp852' (EncodingCP852)
'cp865' (EncodingCP865)
'cp866' (EncodingCP866)
'cp874' (EncodingCP874)

For platforms that support Asian code pages, the following encoding names are added to the list:

'cp932' (EncodingCP932)
'cp936' (EncodingCP936)
'cp950' (EncodingCP950)
'cp949' (EncodingCP949)
