Code page conversion

[david_fryda2]

Hi everyone,

I want to translate from code page UTF-8 to code page 1255.

Is there a way to do it in Java ?

I didn't find any class that could do it like in .Net using System.text package.

Thanks in advance.

Hi David,

Try this code.. Of course change your code page accordingly..

public static void main (String args []) throws Exception {
		try {

			String str="ABC";

			str = new String(str.getBytes("8859_1"),"cp037");
			System.out.println("In EBCDIC :"+str);

			str = new String(str.getBytes("cp037"),"8859_1");
			System.out.println("In ASCII :"+str);


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

Regards,

Ananth

Hi David,

8859_1 is for ASCII

and cp037 is for EBCDIC Code page.

The program given in my previous post is a sample code and you have to change it according to your code page.
