Write and Readback

[zku]

Hi,

I have a String object that contains non-ascii characters.

I stored the String object into a file using "UTF-8" charset.; File #1.

Then, I read it back from the file using "UTF-8" charset as well.

The checking readBackString.equals( origString) is true.

I stored the readBackString to another file using "UTF-8" charset. File #2.

I opened the File #1 and #2, I can see there are characters different.

Questions:
How to store so that the file #2 is the same as file #1?

What was your actual code for "storing"?

See http://mindprod.com/fileio.html for sample code.

The safest way to get back exactly what you wrote is to use serialised
objects or a DataOutputStream with writeUTF.
