Random access files and null bytes(java)

Squall

Im reading from a random access file in java using the readLine() method.

Its outputting with null bytes

Any way of removing these from the string?

I used the .replace ( author = new String(author).replace( '\0',' '); ) method to replace them with spaces, but then im just left with a string full of spaces.

I considered removing the spaces, but I want to retain the actual spaces in the string, ie where the break was intended.

I think my brains just fried, would appreciate any suggestions

Should have been using the writeBytes() method not writeChar()

Sorted now
