Works on 1.3.x but not 1.2.2.

[jamescpp]

I'm reading an exported Windows 2000 registry file using the following:
Reader r = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(c:\\ImageBuild.txt&quot, "UTF16"
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(r);
etc, etc.

The Stacktrace gives a NullPointerException in the main thread, but not much other than that.

Unfortunately I need this to work on Java 1.2.x and apparently it doesn't like the Reader line. Can anyone tell me how to do this with Java 1.2? Is that possible?

I guess my other option is using JNI, but I have no clue about that yet. Not sure what it would take to simply read this one key in the registry.

Help is appreciated! Thanks.

Hi James,

I generally use the following configuration:

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\\ImageBuild.txt&quot);

This worked when I was using 1.2, and still works for me.

The problem is that the file is an exported Windows 2000 registry file and is encoded. I can't look at it as just plain text.

Anyone else have any ideas on why this doesn't work on 1.2.2??

Thanks,
