Hello Dave, When you refer to output, are you writing the document to System.out or System.err? Those streams (and every other PrintStream) will write strings in your platform's native encoding, and if a particular character cannot be represented, it's written as a '?'. If you want to write Java strings to a file or elsewhere in a particular encoding, you should have a look at java.io.OutputStreamWriter.
Hope that helps. On Wed, 23 Jul 2003, Dave Carlson wrote: > Hi, I am new to this list. We are having a problem.
