Problem in using the UTF-8 !!!!!!!! Plz help me out

[Maneesh_3]

hi to All,
I am facing a problem in the java program . The problem is thats
1) I have a text file which i saved in UTF-8 encoding containing only the ASCII characters
2)When i am reading the file using the Reader class ave the UTF-8 encoding
3) When i am reading the line this text file , i am getting one extra character in the beginning of the everyline
I am not able to understand from where this extra characters comes

But when i make a file text using the Writer class having the encoding UTF-8 then there is no extra character

try to look at the iconv command to change the encoding format/character set of your file

You are most likely seeing a carriage return in the file.

hai,

Your text file format is containing one more ascii character. We can identify that by,

cat | head -2 | od -bc

You will see encodings of ascii characters,text file will contain ASCII 13 character on unix. You have to change it with dos2ux input-file. It will change that file with that ascii character.

Example:>
cat hai.text | od -bc
0000000 164 145 163 164 015 012 150 141 151 015 012 150 145 154 154 157
t e s t \r \n h a i \r \n h e l l o
0000020

dos2unix hai.text

After change,
0000000 164 145 163 164 012 150 141 151 012 150 145 154 154 157
t e s t \n h a i \n h e l l o
0000016


see dos2unix man page to know more.
