I tried adding UTF-8 for this but it didn’t work out. What should i do for reading a Russian file in Java?
FileInputStream fstream1 = new FileInputStream("russian.txt");
DataInputStream in = new DataInputStream(fstream1);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in,"UTF-8"));
If the file is from Windows PC, try either “windows-1251” or “Cp1251” for the charset name.
If the file is somehow in the MS-DOS encoding, try using “Cp866”.
Both of these are single-byte encodings and changing the file type to UTF-8 (which is multibyte) does nothing.
If all else fails, use the hex editor and dump a few hex lines of these file to you question. Then we’ll detect the encoding.
