Moreover, since Java has about 150 character set encoder/decoder
pairs built in (to JDK 1.2 when I counted a while back, and that does
NOT include encodings that have multiple names), Java is decent tool
to use for such tasks.
Somethings like:
void convert (
InputStream from,
String fromEncoding,
File to,
String toEncoding
) throws IOException
{
Reader in = new InputStreamReader (from, fromEncoding);
Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter (to, toEncoding);
char buf [] = new char [16000];
int length;
while ((length = in.read (buf)) != -1)
out.write (buf, 0, length);
out.close ();
}
The exercise of opening a FileInputStream and
FileOutputStream is left for the reader! Borrow
a copy of the nutshell guide, if you want.
