how to convert Apple mac text file,to a normal windows encoding

If the file is saved in text format then yes it should be possible.

Apple only uses the either the Line Feed or Carriage Return character at the end of each line (not sure which one), while Windows uses Line Feed and Carriage Return, but other than that there shouldn't be a problem.

i used the following code
FileStream ReadPdf = new FileStream("c:\\test.txt", FileMode.Open);
                  long FileSize;
                  FileSize = ReadPdf.Length;
                  byte[] Buffer = new byte[(int)FileSize];
                  ReadPdf.Read(Buffer, 0, (int)ReadPdf.Length);

                  String str = System.Text.Encoding.Default.GetString(Buffer);

                        ReadPdf.Close();

but it's supposed it's Arabic ,it returned arabic words but no understandable

so what is the solution ,and what type to save the file in
and thanks

How did you get the file from the Apple into the Windows operating system?

Ftp is my preferred method.

i don't ask how to get the file ,i ask about the conversion to the readable format by windows .how to convert from C# Code the MAC FORMAT TO THE WINDOWS FORMAT?
