Writing charcters to HTML file result in annoying ending random char 1

thelordoftherings · Jan 30, 2006

Hello,

I need to create an HTML in Java.
In order to do that I create an html file and write the data there using Dataoutputstrem. I am using the writeUTF method since I write hebrew chars. The problem is that every sentence I write ends with a random character which wasn't exist at the original text, it could be ( $ [ ect...
Here is a piece of my code:

FileOutputStream outFile = new FileOutputStream(new File("C:\\Inetpub\\

http://wwwroot\\Protocol.html"));

DataOutputStream outData = new DataOutputStream(outFile);
outData.writeBytes("<HTML><HEAD><TITLE> ?? ???????? </TITLE></HEAD><BODY>");
outData.writeBytes("<H1><CENTER>");
outData.writeUTF(" ???? " );
outData.writeBytes("</CENTER></H1><HR><BR><BR>");
outData.writeBytes("<H3>");
outData.writeBytes("<P align=right>");
utData.writeUTF("??? ?????" + "<BR><BR>");
outData.writeBytes("</P></H3><BR>");
outData.writeBytes("</BODY></HTML>");
outData.close();
outFile.close();

I would normally use a FileWriter to create the file. Since you want to specify the encoding, the javadoc for the FileWriter recommends :-

JavaDocs said:
Convenience class for writing character files. The constructors of this class assume that the default character encoding and the default byte-buffer size are acceptable. To specify these values yourself, construct an OutputStreamWriter on a FileOutputStream

Hello tim,

Now when I use FileWriter's write method and put hebrew characters, it writes it as ??? ??? ??? ....

Well, like the quote I posted said ... construct an OutputStreamWriter on a FileOutputStream. This should give you the ability, in one of the contructors, to specify the character encoding you need. You'll need to refer to the Api Javadocs for these two classes.
