tChangeFileEncoding

Anonymous — Mon, 10 Dec 2012 16:03:10 GMT

Hello,
I am trying to use the tChangeFileEncoding component without specifying the input encoding format.
What does this component exatly do it that case?
Does it determine itself the input encoding format ?
Currently, if I try to convert an ANSI text file to UTF-8 using this component, all accentuated caracters are currupted.

Hi,
If you use the tChangeFileEncoding component without specifying the input encoding format, it will get your system encoding by default.

java.io.BufferedReader in_tChangeFileEncoding_1 = new java.io.BufferedReader(
						new java.io.InputStreamReader(
								new java.io.FileInputStream(
										sOriFileN_tChangeFileEncoding_1),
								System.getProperty("file.encoding")));

I have make a test for converting an ANSI text file to UTF-8 using this component, but there is an exception popped up.

Exception in component tChangeFileEncoding_1
java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: ANSI
	at sun.nio.cs.StreamDecoder.forInputStreamReader(Unknown Source)
	at java.io.InputStreamReader.<init>(Unknown Source)

I doubt that we cannot support this Encoding.

It is called ASCII not ANSI.

Hi,

@jlolling, you are so great! If it is ASCII, we can support that. I also wonder what is "ANSI"....
Best regards
