Create and Read Files with name including special characters (ñ, ü, é,)

Create and Read File Called ÑÜÍ.arc
Cordial Greetings:

How you can see the filename have a ñ (n with tilde, u with diaresis, etc )

I need create a file with the method.


String defDir = "/home/cepagi/Documents/"; //for Linux case
String defDir = "c:\\cepagi\Documents"; //for Windows case

String MyFileName = "ÑÜÍ.arc";
File file2 = new File(defDir+MyFileName);
o
FileOutputStream MyFileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(defDir+MyFileName);

Later of created make a reference to he..

out.println("<a href=\""+defDir+MyFileName+"\">"+defDir+MyFileName +"</a><P>");


The problem is that my file is called"??????.arc" and can't no to access it.

This is an encoding issue. Check the encoding of the output file.
I think your best bet is to ensure the encoding is UTF-8. But that also depends on what your requirements are on the output file encoding.
Hope this helps :-]

Yes, that's the way. UNICODE support encoding have to use. UTF-8 is more prefer.

You can find lots of useful information from the Suns' official website.

Hola muchacho :)

This is not one but 10 questions :D

Ok let's get things clear.
First separate file creation, file-naming, file reading,
and file content representation in some program or browser.

We are talking about file encoding and using non ASCII chars like Ñ.


1. Can you create in your Java code editor,
in your file system,
on your OS,
simple file called ÑÜÍ.txt,
write some text in it
and open it later with any txt reading program?

EDITOR:
If you java code editor supports Unicode
you can write char Ñ like directly
otherwise you have to use
16bit Unicode escape char FOR EACH char like Ñ

min: '\u0000' = 0
max: '\uffff' = 65,535

EspaÑa is Espa\u00f1a

Try to create this file, write, and open it:

public class SpainFileName {
	public static void main(String[] args) {

		String filePath = "C:\\temp\\ÑÜÍ.doc";
		
		File file = new File(filePath);
		try {
			file.createNewFile();
		} catch (IOException e) {
			// TODO Auto-generated catch block
			e.printStackTrace();
		}
		
	}
}

2. Representation of your file name and its content in JSP and HTML links
depends heavily on your browser settings and your JSP meta-tags

Name of coding schema is part of meta-tag in JSP for HTML file

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=gb2312"/>

Do little research on Spanish language and charset, and possibility to use
charset=utf-8

Check this in Mozzila Firefox
menu View => Character Encoding => Unicode (UTF-8)
...or something other?


take it easy
don't live a vida loca :)
