file-encodings

First, I'd like to say that I've spent a lot of time searching for an explanation/solution. I've found hints of the problem, but no way to resolve my particular issue. Hence the post on a topic that seems to have been beaten to death in at least some cases. I have a Java test class that tests for proper encoding/decoding by a Mime utility. The strings used for testing are declared in the source file and we use assertEquals() to test equality after processing the input string. Here's an example: String test = "S2, =?iso-8859-1?Q?F=E4ltstr=F6m?= =?iso-8859-1?Q?,_Patrik?= S3"; String expected =

I'm not quite done with file.encoding and ant . How do I set the file.encoding for junit tests in ant? The junit ant task doesn't support the encoding attribute like the javac task does. I've tried running «ant -Dfile.encoding=UTF-8» and «ANT_OPTS="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8" ant» without success. System.getProperty("file.encoding") within a test still returns MacRoman . JUnit supports a child element <jvmarg ...> which should do what you want. <junit fork="yes"> <jvmarg value="-Dfile.encoding=UTF-8"/> ... </junit> I assume you were using the fork=yes attribute since this starts a new JVM for the

I have a PHP application who's files encoding is Greek ISO (iso-8859-7). I want to convert the files to utf-8 but simply saving the files with utf-8 isn't enough since the Greek texts get garbled. Is there an "automatic" method to do this so that I can completely convert my app's encoding without having to go through each file and rewrite the texts? On a Linux system, if you are sure all files are currently encoded in ISO-8859-7, you can do this: bash> find /your/path -name "*.php" -type f \ -exec iconv "{}" -f ISO88597 -t UTF8 -o "{}.tmp" \; \ -exec mv "{}.tmp" "{}" \; This converts all PHP

I'm currently working on some search and replace operation that I'm trying to automate using powershell. Unfortunately I recognized yesterday that we've different file encodings in our codebase (UTF8 and ASCII). Because we're doing these search and replace operations in a different branch I can't change the file encodings at this stage. If I'm running the following lines it changes all files to UCS-2 Little Eindian even though my default powershell encoding is set to iso-8859-1 (Western European (Windows)). $content = Get-Content $_.Path $content -replace 'myOldText' , 'myNewText' | Out-File $

I have a PHP file that I created with VIM, but I'm not sure which is its encoding. When I use the terminal and check the encoding with the command file -bi foo (My operating system is Ubuntu 11.04) it gives me the next result: text/html; charset=us-ascii But, when I open the file with gedit it says its encoding is UTF-8. Which one is correct? I want the file to be encoded in UTF-8. My guess is that there's no BOM in the file and that the command file -bi reads the file and doesn't find any UTF-8 characters, so it assumes that it's ascii, but in reality it's encoded in UTF-8. Well, first of all

I'm struggling with a strange file name encoding issue when listing directory contents in Java 6 on both OS X and Linux: the File.listFiles() and related methods seem to return file names in a different encoding than the rest of the system. Note that it is not merely the display of these file names that is causing me problems. I'm mainly interested in doing a comparison of file names with a remote file storage system, so I care more about the content of the name strings than the character encoding used to print output. Here is a program to demonstrate. It creates a file with a Unicode name
