Your code is encoding the String it sees into UTF-8, this is likely the right output, but not what you expected? You need to think through what you are trying to do, but from this result, I would suggest that your code might be receiving the Unicode value correctly from Ant. I would be surprised though. To check you would need to print the string in a Unicode 'aware' way. To guide, we need to know what you intend to do with this string, but this is less of an Ant question and more a Java question. > > Here is the simple java code which I am using. > > OutputStreamWriter bos = new OutputStreamWriter(new FileOutputStream("D://testoutput.txt"),"UTF-8"); > String username = System.getProperty("com.param1").trim(); > bos.write(username); > bos.close(); > > and here is the output from "testoutput.txt" file -?m?nя?? Your code is taking a String and encoding it in the file under UTF-8. UTF-8 does not have the characters you need so it tries to do it's best for you and 'fails'. It gives you a result, which you are retrieving from a file, copying and pasting into an email.. This flow also involves a number of interpretations too. I don't see you have stated what you want to do with your Unicode value yet? If you do want it to persist in a file encode in UTF-8 then you need to convert the Unicode bytes into a format that can be held in this encoding. Perhaps 're-escaping' or BASE-64 encoding it. Personally I think you should also be specifying the value within the Ant xml in UTF-8, so you comply with the encoding statement at the top of the xml. BASE-64 or escaped might do you. -- Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
