I want to see if the String "Streamer" is inside, but it always returns false. The String isn't for sure inside the file. I think that the String is really a String. If I print the whole String some weird characters appear on top of the file.

// index.js

let sini = fs.readFileSync("C:\\Windows\\Sandboxie.ini", 'utf-8');
console.log(sini.includes("Streamer"))

    Not sure if `utf8` and `utf-8` are equivalent here, but worth trying `utf8`. Assuming the file is indeed encoded that way. – jarmod Jun 15 '22 at 00:57
  • Does this answer your question? [What exactly is Unicode codepage 1200?](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8336355/what-exactly-is-unicode-codepage-1200) – Ricky Mo Jun 15 '22 at 01:26
  • Related github issue [https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/197](https://github.com/sandboxie-plus/Sandboxie/issues/197), which mentions that Sandboxie.ini use Unicode codepage 01200. So try using `utf16le` – Ricky Mo Jun 15 '22 at 01:29
