Hi hlj_zhj
Oh your method works, I change the Gb2322 to Big5,
and I have a question about your "return shift", shift is not defined in your part of programme, so I change to follows:
private String getISO(String gbstr){
String temp=null;
try{
String temp_p = gbstr;
byte[] temp_t = temp_p.getBytes("Big5");
temp = new String(temp_t, "ISO8859-1");
catch(Exception e){}
return temp;
ANOTHER question, Some of my BIG5 words contains "Hong Kong Words,eg:�`������", therefore, using temp_p.getBytes("Big5") not work in this case, do you have any suggestion in this case? thanks
