How to deal with Arabic string in java

[mnoko]

Hi every one,

I need to remove arabic diactries from the input text..

I had tried this code but it take to much time to complete,

for ( int index = 0 ; index < word.length() ; index++)
                 {
                 char x = word.charAt(index);
                 if ((x >= 'ء' && x <= 'غ') || (x >= 'ف' && x <= 'ي'))
                	 wordAfter += x;
                 }

and it maybe delete wanted characters, also, I had tried using replaceAll() but I did not success with it
Som is there other ways to remove them, such as using Normalize class???

Thanks

Show your attempt, in code.

I think each character is represented by a byte, not char. Try using the get bytes()

I think ...

Don't think. If you want to help, research first so you don't post garbage.
