Help with copying objects please

[D]

Hi,
I have some old code that uses the deprecated copy command as :

ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
StringReader sr = new StringReader(strString);
copy(sr,bout);

how could I achieve the same result without the now redundant copy command?

Thanks

Try:

ByteArrayOutputStream bout = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
StringReader sr = new StringReader(strString);

int val=0;
byte[] bytes = new byte[32*1024] //32K byte array
while ((val=sr.read(bytes))!= -1) {
bout.write(bytes,0,val);
}

But, I would be weary of mixing readers with outputstreams. I would make
sure you use a Reader with a Writer or and InputStream with an OutputStream.
Mainly due to conversion protocols but can cause some probs...

Hi Steve. Many thanks for that help. I'm just getting up to speed with
Java, hopefully I'll be able to rewrite it once I get the time and a bit
more familiar with it.

Cheers
