Problem converting bytes to string

Hi,

i'm converting byte[ ] to String but for some reason some characters aren't working right. At the moment i have problems at least with ρ (greek small rho) and č and ď (some polish characters). Other greek and polish characters are working as well as ? ?and ?

When i'm writing bytes to file with following statement everything works fine and all characters are displaid correctly with utf-8 encoding (I check file and it's encoding with Firefox).

OutputStream outti = new FileOutputStream(fiile);

outti.write(tmpString.getBytes("UTF-8"));

outti.close();

But when casting to string couple characters are displayd with question mark

new String(tmpString.getBytes("UTF-8"))

Any idea what might be the reason and solution?

Niko

You need to specify which encoding you are using...new String(tmpString.getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8")Ted.

This says 'convert my string to utf-8 bytes and then treat these utf-8 bytes as if they are bytes of my default character encoding and create a new String'. If your default character encoding is not utf-8 then this may result in rubbish and if the default is utf-8 then the result is exactly what you started with! Either way, there is no point!

Here's an example on how to write UTF-8 encoded text: http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/WriteToUTF8.htmlHere's an example on how to read it: http://www.exampledepot.com/egs/java.io/ReadFromUTF8.htmlMessage was edited by: jsalonen
