How do I read a String contained in a file stored as a ByteArray[] in J2ME?
(e.g.
some file, read and transferred over wifi; received as a byteArray[]
fileName = sampleFile.txt
file Contents:
hello world/n
eof
------------------------------------------------------
String fileToString (ByteArray[] ba, String fileName){
String s = null;
// how to do?
// s = "hello world" from ba
return s;

Thanks in advance!

clarification:

// s = "hello world/n" from ba

i.e. with or without the /n, there will always be only one line of text anyways...

You could try something like...

	public byte[] readUnicodeFile(String filename) throws Exception {
	
	     StringBuffer buffer = null;
	     InputStream is = null;
	     InputStreamReader isr = null;
	     try {
	       Class c = this.getClass();
	       is = c.getResourceAsStream("/"+filename);
	       if (is == null)
	         throw new Exception("File Does Not Exist");
	       
	       isr = new InputStreamReader(is,"UTF8");     

	       buffer = new StringBuffer();
	       int ch;
	       while ((ch = isr.read()) > -1) {
        	 	buffer.append((char)ch);
	       }      
	       if (isr != null) 
	         isr.close();              
	     } catch (Exception ex) {
	       System.out.println("Exception="+ex);
	     }
	     return buffer.toString().getBytes();      
	   }
