Hi,

I have loaded my file into my program using an inputStreamReader like so:

try{
	  input = new InputStreamReader (new FileInputStream (path1), "UTF-16");
	}	
   catch (IOException e)
   {
	System.out.println("Error");
   }

This takes the file and converts it to UNICODE. If this is not the right method then if you could let me know thanks, but I think it is.

I then need to convert the file in to Hex. After looking around I can only find how to convert a String into Hex, is there anyway to covnvert the entire contents of the file into Hex?
If you need anymore information then let me know, but I think I have covered all the bases.

Thanks in advance for our help.

Have you tried reading the contents of the file into a string (or array of strings) and then converting those to hex?

I had thought about this as an option when I started my program. Would this still require the use of the InputStreamReader or not? Or is there a way to directly read the file into and array? I had planned to put the file into an array of strings later on.

Do you think my best method would be:

• Load the file into the program using an InputStreamReader
  
• Break the file up into srings to the lenght that I require (1024bytes)
  
• Convert each part of the array into hex in a new array, so leaving my original array of strings intact for future modification

Thanks for your opinions.
