All inclusive Charset to avoid “java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1”?

Question

I\'m creating a simple wordcount program in Java that reads through a directory\'s text-based files.

However, I keep on getting the error:

java.nio.c         


        

Answer 1

You probably want to have a list of supported encodings. For each file, try each encoding in turn, maybe starting with UTF-8. Every time you catch the MalformedInputException, try the next encoding.
