Properties of .ini file

Hello,
I have a little problem with a file "preference.ini" in my application, which contains a line in a euro format. The only problem is the euro sign. That is I have a problem in the properties of .ini file. Here is my code.

Code:

---

String str = "preference.ini";
Properties pro = new Properties();
FileInputStream prefDef = new FileInputStream(new File(str));
pro.load(prefDef);
prefDef.close();

---

Do you guys have an solution for this code, if there is one then let me know? Any one else had the problem with this.

Hello,
This is normal method load (InputStream) uses the ISO encoding, which does not have the euro character. You have am using the unicode character EURO, or use a InputStreamReader () specifying the encoding of your file. Note that you can also use direct FileReader () who will use the default encoding system.
Otherwise a few remarks:
1) No accents in the names of variables
2) You must use a try / finally to close the stream
Hope the information helps you.

Hello,
Check this code, it may help you and i agree with the above said.

Code:

---

String str = "preference.ini";
Properties prefDefaut = new Properties();
FileReader prefDef = new FileReader(new File(str));
                try {
                        prefDefaut.load(prefDef);
                } finally {
                        prefDef.close();
                }

If you have any more queries with this topic then do post back.

Hi,
In fact, I just simplified my code to put only the commands used. My file is in UTF-8 (as the whole project). In the meantime, I replaced "formatEuros = #. # # €" by "formatEuros = #. # # \ U20AC, but I do not think it will work, though I do not have any idea about it, because I have never implemented it. I'll try with FileReader (), and will see if the program works well.

In this case it should be read in UTF-8, which does not load (InputStream). have a look at the following statements.

Quote:

---

Reader prefDef = new InputStreamReader(new InputStream(sys), "UTF-8");

Try the following method and then see if your code runs.

Hey
I have replaced my code with the following part of the program.

Code:

---

String str = "preference.ini";
Properties pro = new Properties();
File f = new File(str);
InputStreamReader prefDef = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(f),"UTF-8");
pro.load(prefDef);
prefDef.close();
