Does the LoadStrings function can load chars outside utf 8 ?

in General Discussion • Other • 3 months ago

Hello Guys

Does the LoadStrings fuction can load characters outside basic utf-8? i would like to pick up french characters like "é" "è" "à" "ù" etc...

I will try to see with a php method because i don't suppose it's possible to adapt loadStrings().

Share me your suggestions

Cheers

I suggest you make a text file, then use loadStrings and see what happens. You can post the result here.

as i thought loadStrings() just allowed chars contained in utf-8.

Anyway, i can use others language that allowed regex like php.

Thx for your suggest amnon !

ok i was wrong you just need to use a file saved in UTF8 and not use an ANSI encode.

Ok for a txt file but with an url i can't read theses kind of char in the strings

String[] web = loadStrings("http://www.le-dictionnaire.com/definition.php?mot=bonjour");

String joined = join(web,"");

String r = joined.replaceAll("<(.*?)>", "");

println(r);

/////////// All non english chars are replaced by "?"

Yes, you have to use a bit more black magic...

import java.io.*;
InputStream input = createInput("http://www.le-dictionnaire.com/definition.php?mot=bonjour");
BufferedReader reader = null;
try
{
reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(input, "ISO-8859-1")); // loadStrings() does that with "UTF-8"
}
catch (IOException e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
exit();
}
String[] web = loadStrings(reader);
String joined = join(web, "");
String r = joined.replaceAll("<(.*?)>", "");
println(r);
