Go Standard Library Cookbook

How to do it...

1. Open the console and create the folder chapter02/recipe08.
2. Navigate to the directory.
3. Create the file win1250.txt with content Gdańsk. The file must be encoded in the windows-1250 charset. If you are not sure how to do that, just jump to step 6 and after you complete step 7, which will create the windows-1250 encoded file, you can rename the out.txt file and go back to step 4.
4. Create the decode.go file with the following content:

        package main        import (          "fmt"          "io/ioutil"          "os"          "strings"          "golang.org/x/text/encoding/charmap"        )        func main() {          // Open windows-1250 file.          f, err := os.Open("win1250.txt")          if err != nil {            panic(err)          }          defer f.Close()          // Read all in raw form.          b, err := ioutil.ReadAll(f)          if err != nil {            panic(err) } ...
