    Default Convert a file in UTF8 format to UTF16 on command-line

    Hi,
    I have a tool that outputs a UTF8 file. This file is to serve as an output to another utility that functions with a UTF16 input.
    Is it possible to write a small script that will convert the UTF8 to UTF16 so that I can put it in a batch file.
    Am a newbie to Java and maybe this question has already been handled. I have searched quite a bit but have not found anything of that type.
    Any help most gratefully ackowledged

    Look at the InputStreamReader and OutputStreamWriter classes. Their constructors take parameters for different charactersets.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.
