Reading ISO Latin-1 Encoded Data in Java
Introduction
The
ISO stands for Organization for International Standardization.
ISO is a standard characters set. The
ISO Latin-1 is a supper set of the ASCII character set. It is the character
set for Western European languages and an 8-bit encoding scheme in which every
encoded character takes exactly 8 bits. The ISO-8859-1 standard also known as "Latin alphabet No. 1".
Here, you will see how to use the ISO 8859-1 character set. This program takes the file name
by user. If the given file exists then this
program reads it's contents otherwise shows the appropriate message like:
"File does not exist".
BufferedReader i = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(file),"8859_1"));
Above code has been written to create the instance of the
BufferedReader
class using InputStreamReader and
FileInputStream classes to create buffer for
reading contents from the specified file in standard ISO-1 format using
the "8859-1", mentioned in the above line of the code.
Here is the code of program:
import java.io.*;
public class ReadEncodedLatin{
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException{
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
System.out.print("Enter File name : ");
String str = in.readLine();
File file = new File(str);
if(!file.exists())
{
System.out.println("File does not exist");
System.exit(0);
}
else
{
try{
BufferedReader i = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader
(new FileInputStream(file),"8859_1"));
String str1 = i.readLine();
System.out.println("File Text : "+ str1);
System.out.println("Reading Process Completly Successfully.");
}
catch(UnsupportedEncodingException ue){
System.out.println("Not supported : ");
}
catch(IOException e){
System.out.println(e.getMessage());
}
}
}
}

Output of the Program:
C:\nisha>javac ReadEncodedLatin.java
C:\nisha>java ReadEncodedLatin
Enter File name : Filterfile.txt
File Text : WelCome to RoseIndia.Net
Reading Process Completly Successfully.
C:\nisha> |
