Vscode: Add Encoding cp 850

[Raydir]

Hello together

I'm developer in a Company that uses serveral different languages for Scripting.

I have to do some sort of Scripts in Codepage 850 for correct functionality.
If you guys could include this Encoding in VSC i would be able to do all my stuff (c#, java, JavaScript and that "oldscool Thing") in one and the same editor.

I'd really love that :)

Regards
Raydir

We can probably add it since iconv-lite seems to support it.

@Raydir is there no other encoding we provide that can deal with cp850, e.g. windows1252?

Hey there
Sadly windows-1252 isnt the same as it is ansi based. Cp850 is western european MSDOS (ASCII) https://de.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Codepage_850

I'love to have CP850 in VSCode.

:)

This is needed in batch (.bat, .cmd) to draw boxes and display international characters.

@freMea this is true.

It is also used by Microsoft Dynamics NAV when exporting objects to text file (at least in Denmark). As the danish language contains special characters (æ ø å) they get corrupted when editing a file in VS Code and importing it back into NAV.

Please fix, so I can uninstall my other text editor, which supports CP 850.

Added to the end of encodings:

Verification: verify you can pick the encoding and save files with that encoding.

Unfortunately you won't be able to search them without "search.useRipgrep": false

@bpasero thanx for working on this issue!
Worked perfectly in the Insider build. 👍
