How to check the content in a text file line

hi all,
i had the following problem:
There is a text file with multiple lines of data in it
The data comprises of characters, numbers and symbols
In this file, any line can be commented (till the end) by using symbol ';'(semi-colon)
Now i have to find the number of occurences of a symbol '$' in this data, such that
it should not exist in a commented line
One more limitation is that ';' (semi-colon) could occur at any position in a line, i.e., if this occured in the middle of the line, then all the following data in the line is taken to be as commented one and we have to skip it and move to next line.
Plz do help.
Regards,
santosh

    package java.io
    InputStream.read(): int
    Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
    Implementation:
    InputStreamReader
    An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

  • How to store the contents of a text file directly in to a clob field

    Hi All,
    Could anyone help me to store the contents of a text file (*.txt,*.xml etc)directly in to a clob field.
    Thanks in advance
    Jayaram.

    One way is to use sqlloader. Three files are used. A control file, an xml data file, and a file with the path of the xml data file. Here's the control file. It reads load.file, which is the file with the path of the xml data file. It names the path ext_path, and inserts the xml into field xml_field.
    CONTENTS OF CONTROL FILE:
    load DATA
    INFILE 'load.file'
    APPEND
    INTO TABLE xml_table
    ( ext_path FILLER CHAR(13),
    "XML_FIELD" LOBFILE(ext_fname) TERMINATED BY EOF
    CONTENTS OF FILE LOAD.FILE:
    /tmp/load.dat
    The xml is in the file /tmp/load.dat.

    Hi,
    Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in  a table.
    1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
    2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
    3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
    try{
    FileReader f =new FileReader("");
    BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(f);
    String names=r.readLine();
    Vector Names=new Vector();
    // Use Tokenizer and store all the names i a vector//
    for(int i=0;i<Names.size();i++){

  • How to display the contents of a text file on the command line?

    I realize I need to utilize classes from the java.io.* package, but I don't know which ones to use exactly. This is what I would like to do in a nutshell:
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
    File inputFile = new File( <path to the file>);
    // code that reads data from the above file and is able to
    // append it to  a string object or display it on the command
    // line (System.out.println)
    }Thanks for your time!

    It's pretty easy. Here's a little example that reads a file, stores it in a string, and prints it to the command line.
    import java.io.*;
    public class OpenFile {
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              try {
                   File fileToOpen = new File("something.txt");
                   FileReader fileIn = new FileReader(fileToOpen);
                   BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fileIn);
                   String fileContent = new String();
                   String line;
                   while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                        fileContent += line + "\n";
                   System.out.println(fileContent);
                   br.close();
              catch (IOException e) {
                   System.out.println("Exception: " + e);
    }Good luck,

  • How to check the contents of MCVBAK table?

    Hi all of you,
    I am using MCVBAK table for extraction using LIS.  The problem I am facing is when I am running the init load in BW for my IS S511, it is successfully running but in the monitor screens it says only 1 from 1 record. I thought that there are no records in the table MCVBAK so I wanted to make sure if there are really no records in MCVBAK table.  
    So I went to R/3 gave the T.C SE11 and entered the table MCVBAK to check its contents.  But in the MCVBAK table what I find is the graphics button and contents button are invisible.  My question is
         How to find the contents of the table MCVBAK?
    Please help. 
    Thank you,
    Tristan.

    Hi TR,
    Yah, you need to check VBAK Table at SE11, Things that start with "MC...." are usually structures. Anther point, I want to mention is, When you schedule as Init load at the BW side, the system will get the data from S511 table(which is Information Structure table). So, you have do statistical setup first (at eg for sales Tcode is oli7) which will copy the records from VBAK table to your Information Structure (i.e S511).Only then, you can perform Init Load. Hope this Info help!

  • How to check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file

    Can anybody help me how i can check the contents of Control file, Log file & Parameter file.
    Arif

    OK ...
    Parameter file:
    It will normally be in the $ORACLE_HOME/dbs directopry. It could be aan init{sid}.ora or a spfile{sid}.ora ... do not edit an SPFILE as yu could corrupt it.
    http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14231/create.htm#sthref434
    If it's an init{sid}.ora, use any editor to see the actual content.
    If it's a spfile{sid}.ora, use one of V$PARAMETER, V$PARAMETER2, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER, V$SYSTEM_PARAMETER2 as aappropriate (read the Reference manual to get an idea about when each is appropriate)
    Control File:
    You should not edit a control file. It consists of many areas, as described here http://download-east.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14220/physical.htm#i10135 and each are is interrogated by V$views as given in the reference manual.

  • I want to read the content of a text file dropped in a watched folder into a string variable

    I have a workbench process with 2 variable.
    inDoc (DataType=Document/input/required)
    outStr (DataType = String/output)
    The document being passed to the workflow is a text file with 4 lines of text in it.  when the text file is dropped into the watched folder, it will be assigned to the inDoc parameter in the workflow.
    My workflow needs to extract the 4 lines of text and write it into a string (outStr).
    Id like to use the FileUtilsService.ReadString service but i can't since its input parameter is the file path.  When i do, i get the following error...

    at com.adobe.livecycle.fileutils.FileUtilsService.readDocument(FileUtilsService.java:363)
    which is what i expected...
    I've also tried with the Script.executeScript to call some java code but im not too strong in java and in all the examples i find, the file pointer requires a file path.
    import java.io.*;
    FileInputStream f = new FileInputStream(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
    OR
    File f = new File(patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc"));
    OR
    File f = patExecContext.getProcessDataValue("/process_data/inDoc");
    Any clue how to resolve my problem?

    Try the following code snippet to read the String content from the file recieved through watched folder endpoint.
    com.adobe.idp.Document inputDoc = patExecContext.getProcessDataDocumentValue("/process_data/inDoc");
    java.io.InputStream inStream = inputDoc.getInputStream();
    byte[] dataBuffer = new byte[inStream.available()];
    inStream.read(dataBuffer);
    String strData = new String(dataBuffer);
    patExecContext.setProcessDataStringValue("/process_data/outStr",strData);
    The code is not tested, hence if you find any mistakes, correct and test the functionality.
