Writing in ISO-8859-7 encoding in Java

In Java, we can use the java.nio.charset.Charset class to write text in different character encodings. If you need to write text in the ISO-8859-7 encoding, follow the steps below:

Step 1: Import the necessary classes

First, import the required classes to work with character encoding:

import java.nio.charset.Charset;
import java.nio.charset.StandardCharsets;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Path;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

Step 2: Write text in ISO-8859-7 encoding

Next, create a method to write text in the ISO-8859-7 encoding:

public static void writeInISO8859_7(String text) {
    String charsetName = "ISO-8859-7";
    Charset charset = Charset.forName(charsetName);
    Path outputPath = Paths.get("output.txt");

    try (BufferedWriter writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(outputPath, charset)) {
        writer.write(text);
    } catch (IOException e) {
        e.printStackTrace();
    }
}

In the above example, we define the character encoding as “ISO-8859-7” using the Charset.forName() method. We create a Path object for the output file, in this case, “output.txt”. We then use the Files.newBufferedWriter() method to create a writer that uses the specified character encoding.

Finally, we pass the text to the writer using the write() method.

Step 3: Calling the method

To write text in the ISO-8859-7 encoding, invoke the writeInISO8859_7() method with the desired text as its parameter:

writeInISO8859_7("Γράφω κείμενο στην ISO-8859-7 κωδικοποίηση.");

In the above example, we are writing the Greek sentence “Γράφω κείμενο στην ISO-8859-7 κωδικοποίηση.” which translates to “Writing text in ISO-8859-7 encoding.”

Congratulations! You now know how to write text in the ISO-8859-7 encoding in Java.
