Thanks for guide me,
I have try using 0x00. And its working.
Now I have another problem:
in file.ext , I have written one record having structure string,int and int.
I have enter data as "HelloWorld", 100 and 111.
To read first record from file file.ext, following code I am using:
try
     FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("file.ext");
     DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fis);
     char ch;
     while((ch=(char)in.readByte()) != 0x00)
          System.out.print(ch+"");
System.out.println();
     System.out.println("Integer 1 --> " + in.readInt());
     System.out.println("Integer 2 --> " + in.readInt());
     in.close();
     fis.close();
catch(Exception ex)
     System.out.println(ex.toString());
And I am getting following output:
HelloWorld
Integer 1 --> 0
Integer 2 --> 0
File file.ext is created in vc++
I am not getting integer data. Plz guide me for this problem.
Thanks in advance
