Hi, I need to replace spaces in filenames with %20 in a jsp page.
These file names are represented as strings in a database. I've tried
the following code and I am getting an out of memory error when I try
to run my page. I think it's the whitespace needs to be represented
some other way but I don't know what that would be.
attach1 = (STO_attachset.getObject("attach1").toString().trim());
StringBuffer ValueSB = new StringBuffer(attach1);
if(attach1.indexOf(" ") !=-1) {
for(int e=0; e<ValueSB.length(); e++) {
if(ValueSB.charAt(e)==' ') {
ValueSB.insert(e,"%20");
e++;
}
}
}
attach1=ValueSB.toString();
You may want to look at the URLDecoder and URLEncoder classes within the
standard API.
I think you'll find that this fragment will illustrate a solution to your
problem. I found this technique on one of the comp.lang.java.* newsgroups
several years ago and it has served me well since then:
URL aboutIconUrl =
this.getClass().getClassLoader().getResource(ABOUT_ICON_FILE_NAME);
String encodedAboutIconFileName = aboutIconUrl.getFile(); //convert URL to
encoded String
String decodedAboutIconFileName = null;
try {
decodedAboutIconFileName = URLDecoder.decode(encodedAboutIconFileName,
"UTF-8");
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException ue_excp) {
String msg = "Failed to decode file name " + encodedAboutIconFileName + ".
Cannot continue.";
System.err.println(CLASS_NAME + "." + METHOD_NAME + " - " + msg);
System.exit(16);
}
aboutIcon = new ImageIcon(decodedAboutIconFileName);
