However, to my disappointment, the java version of the program can't seem to deal with filenames that have umlauts in them. Filenames using only characters in the English alphabet seem fine.
I suspect the problem is that the file_name_, as it appears in a Linux ext3 filesystem, has an 8 bit per character representation, but java wants to convert the string I read from stdin to a 16 bit per character representation, and then doesn't reverse the conversion when I go to open the file by its name.
No. Java /always/ uses 16-bit characters; if it did that, it couldn't open files at all.
Try running this program:
import java.io.File;
public final class DirScan {
public static void main(final String[] args) {
for (final String dirName : args) {
System.out.println(dirName);
final File dir = new File(dirName);
final File[] files = dir.listFiles();
for (final File file : files) {
final String fileName = file.toString();
System.out.printf(" %-25s ", fileName);
for (int i = 0; i < fileName.length(); ++i)
System.out.printf(" %04X", (int) fileName.charAt(i));
System.out.println();
}
}
}
}
....specifying one or more directories as arguments.
