问题
I have huge external files with the "ANSI" and "UCS-2 Little Endian" encoding formats.
Now I want to change the file encoding format into UTF-8 using Visual Basic 6.0. I don't want to modify the original file; I just want to change the encoding format alone.
I have searched on the web; but can't understand the VB code, and have no idea how to do it.
I would also like to be able to read lines one at a time from UTF-8 encoded files.

NOTE. This answer has been extensively expanded to fit in with the edited question, which in turn was due to Visual Basic 6 and UTF-8
The following code wraps up converting ANSI, UTF-16 and UTF-32 encoded strings from a file to UTF-8 strings, in VB6. You have to load in the entire file and output it. Note that if it was truly generic, the LineInputUTF8() method would be LineInput(), and require a code page.
