java.nio.charset 包,所有包含的字符集，以避免“java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException：Input length = 1”？...

I'm creating a simple wordcount program in Java that reads through a directory's text-based files.

However, I keep on getting the error:

java.nio.charset.MalformedInputException: Input length = 1

from this line of code:

BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(file,Charset.forName("UTF-8"));

I know I probably get this because I used a Charset that didn't include some of the characters in the text files, some of which included characters of other languages. But I want to include those characters.

I later learned at the JavaDocs that the Charset is optional and only used for a more efficient reading of the files, so I changed the code to:

BufferedReader reader = Files.newBufferedReader(file);

But some files still throw the MalformedInputException. I don't know why.

I was wondering if there is an all-inclusive Charset that will allow me to read text files with many different types of characters?

Thanks.

You probably want to have a list of supported encodings. For each file, try each encoding in turn, maybe starting with UTF-8. Every time you catch the MalformedInputException, try the next encoding.
