http://nagoya.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15492 Add a method to set the encoding when reading a spreadsheet Summary: Add a method to set the encoding when reading a spreadsheet Product: POI Version: 1.5.1 Platform: Sun OS/Version: Solaris Status: NEW Severity: Enhancement Priority: Other Component: HSSF AssignedTo: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ReportedBy: [EMAIL PROTECTED] When POI reads a spreadsheet, it uses the operating system's default character encoding to process the data. This presents a problem when reading UTF-8 characters on a platform that defaults to a different encoding. It would be useful to provide a way to set the encoding. The code that processes the data is at line 156 of poi/hssf/record/UnicodeString.java. I replaced field_3_string = new String(data, 3, getCharCount()); with try { field_3_string = new String(data, 3, getCharCount(), "ISO-8859-1"); } catch(Exception ex) { field_3_string = new String(data, 3, getCharCount()); } to read my spreadsheet. A method to set the encoding would be wondeful. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
