UnsupportedEncodingException: SJIS

[Valentin Mone]

Hi,

I'm kind of new to String encoding and I have the following problem.
What I have to do is to parse a csv file, which the one who made it said is encoded with SHIFT_JIS, and I open it this way:

BufferedReader reader = null; // this will read the file
       try {
           //reader = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(filename) );
           reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(new    FileInputStream(filename), "Shift_JIS"));    
           String line;           // store here each line of text
           while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null) {
               try {
                   parseLine(line);
               } catch (Exception ex) {
                   Logger.warning.println("Error parsing line: " + line   +  " error: " + ex); 
               }
           }
       } catch (IOException ioex) {
           ioex.printStackTrace();
           throw new SourceException("Error trying to read file: " + filename);
       }

The problem is that it crashes when file is opened with java.io.UnsupportedEncodingException: SJIS.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

A thing that i've noticed is that the csv file contains also english words (for the 3 column names), number for first column, and the remaining 2 columns contains unreadable text(which is the japanise text). So is it posible for a file to be partially encoded with UTF-8, and partially encoded with Shift_JIS? If so, how do I parse it?

Ok, seems people is out on vacation, or does not have time for answers .
Just so you know, problem was that "charsets.jar" was not in the JRE/lib directory. If you have this problem, copy jar to that folder and problem is solved. I got the jar file from /jdk/jre/lib.

Cheers
