Read and Write Text in ANSI format

by

To read a text file with a specific encoding you can use a FileInputStream in conjunction with a InputStreamReader. The right Java encoding for Windows ANSI is Cp1252.

reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream(csvFile), "Cp1252"));

To write a text file with a specific character encoding you can use a FileOutputStream together with a OutputStreamWriter.

writer = new BufferedWriter(new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream(file), "Cp1252"));

The classes InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter translate between byte oriented streams and text with a specific character encoding.
