I am on windows. As a test I altered the SimpleFileReader to open the file up specifically in UTF-8, which I believe worked. However, when I did this, no text was displayed to the display actor in Kepler. But I did have the output print out to stdout (even if it did just print a bunch of "?").
Also, if I have a default install of Kepler, how do I modify arguments to the JVM? -- Matt Peter Reutemann wrote: >> Is there support for UTF-8 encoded files/strings? >> I have data which is encoded in UTF-8 which does not seem to be able to be >> read by the SimpleFileReader actor when dumping the text directly to the >> display. >> > > Java natively supports UTF-8, but it always depends on the platform > that you're working on.
