Hi All,

When I am trying to read data from BufferedReader and writing into excel using FileOutputStream object with POI APIs then i am getting the data in excel file in bad formats. you can check the log file and excel file attached for more information.

Here my problem is I cannot use BufferedWriter in place of FileOutputStream because POI class XSSFWorkbook only have one write method and we can only pass FileOutputStream class objet there.

Please have a look the code and suggest me how i can proceed further.

The first thing I would fix is the name of the file encoding - there is no "UTF8", it's called "UTF-8".

The obvious thing to do would be to print out the values of "lineData" to check whether they are what you think they are.

Thanks Ulf - that was very silly mistake but now I have modify my code and have another problem:

Do you have any idea why getEncoding() method giving me UTF8 instead of UTF-8?

I am using eclipse and i think my old code is calling now. do you know how to fix this?

I don't. The java.nio.charset.Charset javadocs make it clear which charsets need to be supported. I did a quick grep through the Java source code, and it looks like some parts of it may accept "UTF8" instead of "UTF-8" (the XML parser, for example, although that may be required by the XML spec), but not all of it. And in particular, probably not the java.io package.

BTW UTF-16 is working for me.
