Get the value of the file encoding

Hello everyone, 

For automation purposes, I want to get the value of a file's encoding and store it in a variable or a new column. Is there any function that can do this ? If not, is there a way to be able to do it ?

Thank you in advance,

Hello @QFabian, thank you very much for your response.

I am not quite sure I understand the relationship between getting the encoding value (utf-8, unicode....) from a file being loaded and the link you have provided. Could you please elaborate ?

My goal is as simple as just retrieving the value in order to add conditions on the encoding afterwards.

Thank you in advance,
