Read a line using a BufferedReader. Given the String (the line), call its
getBytes() method and check the length of the array. Note that you cannot
trust the length() method of the String object (the line) because it translates
bytes into Unicode characters which doesn't matter much if your file only
contains ASCII characters; for all other characters it does matter.

Note that newline and/or carriage return characters are not included in the count.

kind regards,

Jos

Hi, How one can count the number of bytes used by all the characters of a String ? i.e. String.Length * 2 (a char is 2 bytes long), but using more "proper" ways. Thanks.
