Reads a text file, re-encodes it, and splits it into text lines.
[THIS IS AN EXPERIMENTAL FUNCTION]
stri_read_lines(fname, encoding = "auto", locale = NA,
fallback_encoding = stri_enc_get())single string with file name
single string; input encoding, "auto" for automatic
detection with stri_enc_detect2,
and NULL or "" for the current default encoding.
single string passed to stri_enc_detect2;
NULL or "" for default locale,
NA for checking just UTF-* family
single string; encoding to be used if encoding detection fails;
defaults to the current default encoding, see stri_enc_get
Returns a character vector, each text line is a separate string. The output is always in UTF-8.
This aims to be a substitute for the readLines function,
with the ability to auto-detect input encodings (or to specify
one manually), re-encode input without any strange function calls
or sys options change,
and split the text into lines with stri_split_lines1
(which conforms with the Unicode guidelines for newline markers).
If locale is NA and auto-detection of UTF-32/16/8 fails,
then fallback_encoding is used.
