How to stop my output file from having Chinese characters?

Question

I'm trying to write into a RandomAccessFile by taking data from cells from a specific jtable. I convert the strings into bytes and then I implement the .write() function in order to write to the output file.

I made it so that I will be able to see what my output should be by printing bytes into the console. However when I check with my output file, I see Chinese character.

String data = (String) table.getModel().getValueAt(r,c).toString();
                    byte[] BytedString = data.getBytes();
                    file.write(BytedString);                        
                    String s = new String(BytedString);
                    System.out.print(s+" ");

Did I do something wrong...?

Answer 1

in your code instead of using:

String s = new String(BytedString);

use:

String s = new String(BytedString, "UTF-8");

or

new String(BytedString, "US-ASCII");
new String(BytedString, "ISO-8859-1");

depending on your platform encoding.

String data = (String) table.getModel().getValueAt(r,c).toString();
                    byte[] BytedString = data.getBytes();
                    String s = new String(BytedString, "UTF-8");
                    file.writeChars(s);                        
                    System.out.print(s+" ");
