Encoding in UNIX

I am trying to print unicode characters from my java program to unix console, even though my default file encoding is UTF8, My character is printing garbage.
here is my program and the output
System.out.println(System.getProperty("file.encoding"));
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(System.out);
osw.write("\u0c37");
osw.flush();
The output is
UTF-8
��s
Any thoughts on how to print the character i want?

The default encoding being utf-8 does not mean that the console font can display all UNICODE characters. You need to set the console font to one that has glyphs for the characters you want to display.

Writing to file with specific encoding in unix

hi,
I want to write html files which contain Turkish characters in unix operating system.
I'm currently using FileWriter to write the files.
I'm getting the file content from the database and I can see that the characters seem to be fine but when I write them into an html file, they are displayed with the question mark character (?).
What can I do about this?
Thanks

FileWriter uses the default character encoding of whatever platform your program is running on. Beside the fact that the default encoding may vary from one machine to another, it may not be suitable for storing non-ASCII (Turkish) characters.
Rather than using FileWriter, you can use an OutputStreamWriter and a FileOutputStream, which allows you to specify the character encoding you want. UTF-8 is generally a good choice, since it can encode just about anything. For example:FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/some/file/name");
OutputStreamWriter osw = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "utf-8");
osw.write("your text with Turkish characters...");Geoff

Force same character encoding in UNIX as in Windows

My program reads a simple text file and outputs the same on the console. The file contains special characters like àéèéàöäül etc. The goal of this exercise is to make java recognize special characters both on the UNIX and on the Windows system in the same manner.
I wrote the program on a Windows machine and then transferred the class file to the UNIX system and ran it there. It is giving two different outputs for the different systems.
Here is the code
public class LocaleFile {
public static void main(String [] args ) throws IOException{
System.out.println("Deafult Locale :: "+Locale.getDefault());
System.out.println("Deafult Characterset :: "+Charset.defaultCharset());
System.out.println("Resetting defailt local to de_DE ... ");
Locale newLocale=new Locale(Locale.GERMAN.toString(), Locale.GERMANY.toString());
Locale.setDefault(newLocale);
System.out.println("After resetting Locale :: "+Locale.getDefault());
BufferedReader bufferedReader=new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new FileInputStream("helloworld.txt"), "ISO-8859-15"));
String line=bufferedReader.readLine();
do{
System.out.println(line);
line=bufferedReader.readLine();
while(line!=null);
bufferedReader.close();
Windows Output
Deafult Locale :: de_CH
Deafult Characterset :: ISO-8859-1
Resetting defailt local to de_DE ...
After resetting Locale :: de_DE_DE
Character set 1: Arijit
Character set 2: è!éà£
Character set 3: ü?öä$
Character set 4: []{}
End of Test
UNIX Output
bash-3.00$ java LocaleFile
Deafult Locale :: en
Deafult Characterset :: US-ASCII
Resetting defailt local to de_DE ...
After resetting Locale :: de_DE_DE
Character set 1: Arijit
Character set 2: ?!???
Character set 3: ????$
Character set 4: []{}
End of Test
bash-3.00$
*Structure of helloworld.txt*
Character set 1: Arijit
Character set 2: è!éà£
Character set 3: ü?öä$
Character set 4: []{}
End of Test
Hope to hear from you soon guys.
Thanks

Just a thought, but I'd say that it is the character encoding of the command/bash prompt that is misleading you here. It probably actually has nothing to do with the code or the data, just the way the OS is displaying it.
edit: ninja'd by Baftos. :)*@gimbal2*
Well, thank you. That did raise a doubt. I changed the program slightly to write to a file say "recorded.txt" instead of printing it to the console.
Code
BufferedReader bufferedReader=new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( new FileInputStream("helloworld.txt"), "ISO-8859-15"));
BufferedWriter bufferedWriter=new BufferedWriter( new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("recorded.txt")));
String line=bufferedReader.readLine();
do{
bufferedWriter.write(line.toString());
System.out.println(line);
line=bufferedReader.readLine();
while(line!=null);
bufferedReader.close();
bufferedWriter.close();
However the output remained the same

Character encoding in unix environment.

Hi,
Users try to download files from my application. These files are uploaded by others. They may contain characters from foreign languages as well. The file names are displayed properly on the screen, but when the user clicks on the link to download the file, the servlet set-up to read the file path is unable to read the file name on UNIX with jdk1.5.0_06. The same piece of code works perfectly well on windows with same jdk.
This is how i get the file name from the request:
String filePath = new String((httpRequest.getServletPath() + httpRequest.getPathInfo()).getBytes("ISO8859_1"), "UTF-8");
Same line of code throws out junk characters in unix.
Please advice
~sandeep

I would like to add that in the windows environment, the application is deployed on tomcat 5.x, but on the production (unix) machine, the request is routed through apache http server onto the tomcat server. Does this make any difference?

Character Encoding and File Encoding issue

Hi,
I have a file which has a data encoded using default locale.
I start jvm in same default locale and try to red the file.
I took 2 approaches :
1. Read the file using InputStreamReader() without specifying the encoding, so that default one based on locale will be picked up.
-- This apprach worked fine.
-- I also printed system property "file.encoding" which matched with current locales encoding (on unix cooand to get this is "locale charmap").
2. In this approach, I read the file using InputStream as an array of raw bytes, and passed it to String contructor to convert bytes to String.
-- The String contained garbled data, meaning encoding failed.
I tried printing encoding used by JVM using internal class, and "file.encoding" property as well.
These 2 values do not match, there is weird difference.
For e.g. for locale ja_JP.eucjp on linux box :
byte-character uses EUC_JP_LINUX encoding
file.encoding system property is EUC-JP-LINUX
To get byte to character encoding, I used following methods (sun.io.*):
ByteToCharConverter btc = ByteToCharConverter.getDefault();
System.out.println("BTC uses " + btc.getCharacterEncoding());
Do you have any idea why is it failing ?
My understanding was, file encoding and character encoding should always be same by default.
But, because of this behaviour, I am little perplexed.

But there's no character encoding set for this operation:baos.write("��".getBytes());

Oracle Export Utility

Hi I have to export data from Oracle 9i to unix in flat file.
My data in oracle is having Chinese Traditional and User defined word along with English words. I am using Oracle 9i database.
In Oracle its in UTF8 encoding and i have to export data in BIG5 encoding in Unix.
Please tell me the possible ways to export data from Oracle to Unix with encoding conversion(UTF-8 to BIG 5).
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Sergiusz,
Thanks for reply.
When i tried on DB that was on Solaris 8, it was no working and all Double Byte char were becoming as ?.
But when i tried on DB that was on Solaris 10, It was giving correct values and this DB has following NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS values:
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET : AL16UTF16
NLS_CHARACTERSET : AL32UTF8
If i have one DB which have following NLS_DATABASE_PARAMETERS values:
NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET : UTF8
NLS_CHARACTERSET : UTF8
Then still it will work fine?
I can not check this on above DB(that having NLS_NCHAR_CHARACTERSET and NLS_CHARACTERSET as UTF8) as its productiona and i dont have access to test it.
Pls suggest.
Thanks in advance.

You can not export this via exp utility.
you have to write your own procedures or sql scripts to transform the data in the palin file format or SDF format
but you have to open the file in binary form and save that in binary itself.
You have to Use PRO*C to perform this operation.
or you may user java program as
change the insert sql statement in my JAVA program, by including convert function to convert 1 encoding to BIG5 encoding (my Oracle is BIG5).
java program to get local encoding
System.getProperty ("file.encoding"), it gives 'WE8ISO8859P15'.
So change the INSERT sql to include conversion from 'WE8ISO8859P15' to BIG5 -->
vlSqlQuery = "INSERT INTO anytable (str_myfield) VALUES (convert " str_myfield ", 'WE8ISO8859P15', 'ZHT16BIG5'))";
str_myfield is data read from any txt file
The result can be tested from 'UTF8', 'AL32UTF8', 'AL16UTF16', 'US7ASCII', 'UTFE' to 'ZHT16BIG5'
Just try
Good Luck

There are commands to diagnose problems with ldap, something about the character encoding windows-unix?

Base64Encode ==

Hello.
Just a quick question on Base64Encoding and MD5.
I'm hashing passwords, then encoding to stuff into DB. All of my encoded data ends in '=='
example:
LN2vQZp6JLpt+b3xFInn2A==
Can anyone tell me why they all end in '==' ?
Thanks in advance.
Vic.

I have a question I am currently using MD5 to hash passwords and Base64Encoder to encode the string before inserting it in the database. I have a probelm though, I used UTF-8 to make the password platform independent for both Java on Windows and Java on Unix. However, it is not working...when the user creates a user on the Unix platform and tries to log in with that userid/password which was hashed/encoded on Unix platform, in a Windows platform, the password is different from what was stored on the Unix platform and what is passed in from the user hashed and encoded on the Windows platform. Do you have a solution for this. Here is my code below. Please HELP! Thanks so much!
public String doIt(String test) {
try {
sun.misc.BASE64Encoder encoder = new sun.misc.BASE64Encoder();
secret = new String(encrypt(test));
//System.out.println("the encrypted result : " + secret);
encoded=encoder.encode(secret.getBytes());
System.out.print("Here is the encoded string in LIMDBO" + encoded);
boolean ok = true;
//String s = "";
} catch (Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
return encoded;
static byte[] encrypt(String x) throws Exception {
java.security.MessageDigest d = null; //comment
d = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("MD5"); //comment when released
// d = java.security.MessageDigest.getInstance("SHA"); uncomment when released
d.reset();
d.update(x.getBytes("UTF-8"));
return d.digest();
}

MASSIVE Unix Encoding Problem

Hi!
Thanks to anyone in advance who tries a suggestion with this problem:
I have a database (PostgreSQL, Encoding UNICODE) which stores a TEXT, which has a certain format. The problem with this format is, that I used as a end delimiter the section sign "�". This works very nice under windows, but unter unix, it doesn't get the delimiter.
Here are some codesnippets to show you, what's going on:
Resultset rs;
String encodedText = rs.getString("text")
[transferred to the GUI]
public static final char DELIM_END = '�';
[that was pretty stupid]
BufferedReader = new BufferedReader(new StringReader(encodedText));Then I read the BufferedReader in for the delim signs, but the end sign is never found, which makes it pretty ugly as you can imagine. Under Unix (Linux or Mac) the sign, which is in the encodedString, when I debug my application is the "currency sign" (Unicode: 00A4, you can see it at http://www.decodeunicode.org/ when you typ in "00A4"). Interestingly the section sign has the unicode 00A7.
I tried now so many different types of streams with different code pages and so on. Does anyone have an idea what I could do about this???

because if I also send this output in an email format and the email renders it a bit differently, then if I copy and paste the text to html page and render it on the screen it look as it is suppose to be.It's definitely not HTML so this does not seem logical.

Here are the ios commands I am issuing:

Problems with string codification under unix

Hi people,
I'm trying to insert Latin caracters as � or � in a string, and trying to insert them into an excel page. Everything goes fine, untl those latin caracters are inserted. They are shown as a question mark (?). I tryed using a charset set to UTF-16 and ISO-8859-1, which is the ISO Latin Alphabet No. 1. But it still is shown as '?'.
I think the problem might be in the unix codification.
But have no idea really.
Any help please?
Thanks to everyone for your help.

No, the original post mentioned Excel. That's a Microsoft product so it's unreasonable to expect it to understand ISO-8859 encodings. A Windows encoding would have a better chance of working.

Code page issue - Unix file(s) content display in a report output

Hi All,
I am trying to retrieve file from Unix server and display in my report output.
I have written code as below:
OPEN DATASET filename FOR INPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
DO.
READ DATASET filename INTO i_tab-line.
ENDDO.
CLOSE DATASET.
1. Now i am able to display files of type .txt in report output but with line numbers above each line.
How can i avaoid it! I want to display as it looks in AL11 view.
2. If i am displaying files of type .PDF it is giving dump with below message:
A character set conversion is not possible.
At the conversion of text from code page '4110' to '4102' is not possible.
- a character was found that cannot be displayed in one of the two code pages;
- or it was detected that this conversion is not supported.
How can i display the .PDF (or) all types of files in my report as it is viewable in AL11.
Can anybody solve this this.
I have tried UTF-8 & NON-UNICODE options with ENCODE also they are also giving same dump.
Can anybody resolve these issues!
Thanks in advance.
Thanks,
Deep.
