New to Java

Hi everyone !

I'm trying to convert a String from utf-8 to IsoLatin1, but i got somt problems.... I'm using
actually this code, but it won't work...

I'm getting a utf-8 html String with some data and i will write it down in latin1 to a text file

String newString = new String(oldString.getBytes("UTF-8"), "ISO-8859-1");

If i'm now writing this newString to a TextFile it contains cryptic signs like

& # 1 3 ;

or

& # 1 3 7 ;

or

& # 1 2 8 ;

(i separated this chars)


can anyone tell me where is my fault and how can i solve this problem ?

Thanks a lot
