Convert OEM (DOS) file to Ansi (Windows)Tag(s): IO Internationalization
We are using an InputStreamReader which convert the specified input encoding to Unicode and an OutputStreamWriter which from Unicode to the specified output encoding.
This can be useful when migrating data from a legacy database (ex. Clipper, dBase) to newer DBMS (ex. mySQL, Sybase).
import java.io.*;
public class OemToAnsi {
