Character Set Conversion

Overview

Java2 uses UNICODE as its internal character set. When you work with strings and characters in AssemblyLines and Connector these are always assumed to be in UNICODE. Most Connectors will provide some means of character set conversion. When you read from text files on the local system, Java2 has already established a default character set conversion which is dependent on the platform you are running AS.

However, every now and then you read/write data from/to text files in which information is encoded in different character set. The Connectors in AS that require a Parser usually accepts a characterSet parameter in the Parser configuration. This parameter should be set to one of the accepted conversion tables found in the Java2 runtime.

Availability

For the Sun distribution of Java 2 you should find a JAR archive called i18n.jar. If you dont have this jar file you must either reinstall Java or copy this jar file into the runtime directory.

Please refer to the Java 2 documentation for a list of available conversion tables.
