Java provides support for various character encodings, including ISO-8859-8. The ISO-8859-8 encoding is used for representing the Hebrew alphabet. In this blog post, we’ll explore how to write text files using the ISO-8859-8 encoding in Java.

To write text in ISO-8859-8 encoding, follow these steps:

1. Create a FileOutputStream object and pass the file path as a parameter.

   FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("path_to_file.txt");
   

2. Create an OutputStreamWriter object and pass the FileOutputStream object and the desired encoding (ISO-8859-8) as parameters.

   OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "ISO-8859-8");
   

3. Use the writer object to write text to the file.

   writer.write("שלום עולם"); // Write Hebrew text
   

4. Close the writer to flush and release resources.

   writer.close();
   

Here’s a complete example that demonstrates writing text in ISO-8859-8 encoding:

import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.OutputStreamWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

public class ISO8859_8Example {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        try {
            FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("path_to_file.txt");
            OutputStreamWriter writer = new OutputStreamWriter(fos, "ISO-8859-8");

            writer.write("שלום עולם"); // Write Hebrew text

            writer.close();
            System.out.println("File written successfully.");
        } catch (IOException e) {
            e.printStackTrace();
        }
    }
}

Remember to replace "path_to_file.txt" with the actual path where you want to create the file.

By using this approach, you can write text in ISO-8859-8 encoding in Java. Make sure to handle exceptions appropriately when working with file operations. Happy coding!
