read streams line by line

Question

Is there a way in Delphi to read streams ,line by line?

Is there a way to set the encoding of the stream?

I know of

TEncoding.getEncodingPa

Delphi versions that lack TStreamReader can use Peter Below's StreamIO unit, which gives you AssignStream. It works just like AssignFile, but for streams instead of file names. Once you've used that function to associate a stream with a TextFile variable, you can call ReadLn and the other I/O functions on it just like any other file.
