How to write a file in ANSI

[sinful palm]

I need to write a file in ANSI encoding, but no matter what I'll try it always ends up in UTF-8.

I tried using the OutputStreamWriter and passing "Cp1252" or "Window-1252" but it didn't work.

That's normally the right way. Show exactly what you did

(though that windows-1252, ending with an S)

            OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(fileOutputStream, "Cp1252");
            BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(outputStreamWriter);

            bufferedWriter.write(line);
            bufferedWriter.newLine();
            bufferedWriter.close();

If i run it in intellij it creates a file in ANSI but if i use maven to create a jar it ends up in UTF-8

[floral ice]

how do you know that it is utf-8?
Notably, I see you're writing in append mode. Appending codepage1252 text won't remove the existing utf-8 text

[sinful palm]

open it with Notepad++ and the basic editor

[floral ice]

The well-known basic editor. And what did you find with them, how, and how come you didn't address my remark about append mode.

Last time I try pulling facts from you

[sinful palm]

I try a diffrent aproch with appand false

[floral ice]

I guess it's cheaper than finally showing what you did. Well, in the event that it was the issue all along, you'll have spared yourself doing it I guess

            if (line.matches("(.*)x1 := 0;")){
                System.out.println("MATCH");
                line = "   x1 := 0;\n"+
                        "   Haube_Rover_C9 := 1;*VAR*";
            }

            if (line.matches("CALL ROVER_MC_PLC_Hauben_Pos \\( VAL POS:=\\d+\\)")){
                toolline = br.readLine();
                if (toolline.matches("WZ[F|S|B] (.*)")){
                    line = replace(line,toolline);
                }
                else {line = replace(line);}
            }
            boolean test = new File("\\Neu"+path).mkdirs();
                text.append(line).append("\n");
        }
        FileOutputStream fileOutputStream = new FileOutputStream(userDirectory+"\\Neu"+ path,false);
        OutputStreamWriter outputStreamWriter = new OutputStreamWriter(fileOutputStream, "Cp1252");
        BufferedWriter bufferedWriter = new BufferedWriter(outputStreamWriter);

        bufferedWriter.write(String.valueOf(text));
        bufferedWriter.newLine();
        bufferedWriter.close();

i thought if the file is created new it should work with appand true, currently i try to use Stringbuilder to edit my file and then write it at once

[sinful palm]

Its only working if i run it insite Intellij after creating a jar the new file ends up un UTF8 even if its created new

[sinful palm]

The umlauts are replaced with a "?" And in the lower right corner notepad tells me it's UTF-8

[floral ice]

? isn't the normal way to demonstrate an encoding incompatibility, notably not with Notepad++
Text editors can't tell what's the encoding of a file. They tell you what encoding they're currently using. You know it's correct when it displays without error, and you know what encoding is the right one by trying them until one has no errors

It looks to me like your umlauts were corrupted and replaced with ? before you got to that point, and then the ? was written in the file

[sinful palm]

so it could be a problem with reading the ANSI?

[floral ice]

Sounds like it, if your text comes from reading an ANSI file

[sinful palm]

        BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(fIS,"Cp1252"));

but isnt this the correct way of reading it, i thougt it was simply the opposide of the writing process

[floral ice]

That looks correct, yes. I'd need some examples to work with

[sinful palm]

of the ANSI file?

[floral ice]

Hmm. It looks to me like you're doing everything right. I'll have to do some tests, but it seems that something else is amiss

[sinful palm]

or is there some settings inside maven i need to change?

[floral ice]

In the meantime I encourage you to make a very small and trivial program that reads an ANSI file, displays the text and the bytes it contains, and writes it back.
You'll see that this way to read and write the files is the right one

[sinful palm]

I just dont unterdand why its workink in the IDE but not in jar

[sinful palm]

ill do

The test programm works fine...
