Convert String To ASCII Code.

Let said I have a string
String test="Test Code";
Can I convert the above string to ASCII code. And then convert back the ASCII code to exact string. Is there any command in Java that can convert it. Thanks.

if u write String
String test="Test Code";
like this U will get Unicode for perticular char. by using
getNumaricValue() method. from Character class.
I dont think its possible to get in terms of ASCII.
If u use String Constructors as lychee has shown u can get it.

Try this out :

....

String str = new String ("<YOUR STRING>") ;
String ascii_str ;

try {
ascii_str = String (str.getBytes ("ASCII")) ;
} catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e) {
System.out.println ("Unsupported Conversion") ;
return (1) ;
}

System.out.println (ascii_str) ;
....

Hi,

try this one. works fine in my PC.

----- Begin ----------

import java.io.* ;
import java.lang.* ;

class tapak
{
      public static void main (String args[])
      {
String str = new String ("<YOUR STRING>") ;
String ascii_str = null ;

try {

// my earlier statement was
// ascii_str = String (str.getBytes ("ASCII")) ;
ascii_str = new String (str.getBytes ("ASCII")) ;
}
catch (UnsupportedEncodingException e)
{
System.out.println ("Unsupported Conversion") ;
}

System.out.println ("ASCII version : " + ascii_str) ;

      }
}

---------- End -------------

Let me know if you have any doubts.
