Check the encoding of text file

[BhavikaW]

Hello,

I need to check the encoding of text file that whether it is UTF 8 with BOM or UTF 8 without BOM or ANSI and further proceed based upon the result.

I could not find the code to check for UTF without BOM or ANSi encoding. can anyone please help with this issue. I am using tchangefileencoding to convert the textfile but before that i need to detect the encoding.

Regards,

Hi
I search and find some third party library can used to check the encoding, such as ICU4J, refer to the discussions on stackoverflow.

In Talend job, you can use a tJava or write a user routine to hard code to detect the encoding. You may try it!
