I suppose it depends on how you're defining 'ascii' and what your original encoding

What is an 'ascii symbol'? Is ' €' one?<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Is there any java utility for removing non-ascii characters from a string? I think I can loop through each character (charAt()) which will give me its &quot;ascii value&quot; and if it's not in the ascii range, just wipe it. But I'm not sure what charAt() will return when I really have non-ascii characters since I've never run into that situation.<br />
<br />
How can I do it? <br />
<br />
The reason I need to do it is that I'm using a library which does ellipsiszing of a string, and if it encounters and non-ascii char it seems to crash, so want to clean my strings before passing them in.<br />
<br />
Thanks

Remove non-ascii chars from a String?

Java is a platform-independent, object-oriented programming language and run-time environment, designed to have as few implementation dependencies as possible such that developers can write one set of code across all platforms using libraries. Most devices will not run Java natively, and require a run-time component to be installed in order to execute a Java program.
