Writing text file that uses UTF8 encoding

I am using

try{

File LogFile =new File("C:\\errotReport1.html");

boolean test = LogFile.exists();

if(test ==false){

FileOutputStream out =new FileOutputStream(LogFile);

p =new OutputStreamWriter(out,"UTF8");

}else{

FileOutputStream out =new FileOutputStream(LogFile);

p =new OutputStreamWriter(out,"UTF8");

}

}catch(Exception e){e.printStackTrace();}

System.err.println("Encoding is " +p.getEncoding());

try{

p.write(new String("Σε απευθείας σύνδεση υπηρεσίες "));

}catch (IOException e){

// TODO Auto-generated catch block

e.printStackTrace();

Where i am going wrong in file it shows only ? instade of my given string

You're living in fantasy land.

This is a UTF-8 encoded String is it?

Anyway.

Specifying the encoding is not like some sort of magical translator from lollipop land where you can mash in all sorts of encodings and charsets and have them all turn in a puff of smoke into UTF-8.

No kidding.

I suggest a heaping dose of pixie dust and then click your ruby-red slippers together three times while saying

What are you using to check the file? Have you specified in that program that the file is in UTF8?

What are you using to view the file? If the viewer does not use a font that has glyphs for the characters and/or is not told that the file is utf-8 encoded than you will not see the original.

i have to convert that string into byte array .

I used following

String sourceSegment = "Σε απευθείας σύνδεση υπηρεσίες";

byte[] utf8Bytes = sourceSegment.getBytes("UTF8");

String utf8String = new String

(utf8Bytes, 0, utf8Bytes.length, "UTF8");

targetSegment = currentSegment.getTarget();

byte[] utf8BytesTrg = targetSegment.getBytes("UTF8");

String utf8trgString = new String

(utf8BytesTrg, 0, utf8BytesTrg.length, "UTF8");

i works
