hi,
I have developed a transformation application which reads data from Excel sheets and then creates an XML document. However, during the operation certain indeterminate characters creep in. These characters are treated as "space" characters by
Java but even if I do a trim then these don't get removed. On comparing them against " " also, nothing happens!
For example, here's a character which is wrecking quite a havoc --> �
There's another one which looks like a small square.
Can anyone suggest how to deal with such occurrences and filter them out from a
string using Java?
Doing it manually would be too much of an overhead.
TIA!
