How to find out the encoding of a file

How to findout the encoding of a file being read?
Thanks in advance?

It depends on the file.
Sometimes it is possible by analysing the file contents. Other times you have to know a priori.
And you are welcome.

How to find out the encoding of an XML input document

Hello all,
I read a XML file into a DOM document and would like to save it back in the same encoding as the input. How do I find out the encoding of the input document?
This is my code for reading the document:
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import javax.xml.transform.Transformer;
import javax.xml.transform.TransformerFactory;
import javax.xml.transform.dom.DOMResult;
import javax.xml.transform.stream.StreamSource;
import org.w3c.dom.Document;
Transformer transformer = TransformerFactory.newInstance().newTransformer();
DOMResult domResult = new DOMResult();
transformer.transform(new StreamSource(new FileInputStream(fileName)),
domResult);
Document doc = (Document)domResult.getNode();
.

FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(fileName);
String encoding = new InputSource(fis).getEncoding();
fis.close();Note that this only works because you can get an InputStream over the document twice. If the document were coming from an HTTP response (for example) it wouldn't work.

How to find out the format of a file?

Is there any way to find out the format of a file?
By format I mean binary, text, .doc, .rtf, etc. Please kindly help

The unix file command:
file *
foo.doc ms-office file / word
bar.png png image, 32x32 pixels, no transparency
moo.hhml html text
note that as in the last - file names are ignored, it works by checking the beginning of each file's data against it's database, and as in #2 it can sometimes see a lot more than just the file format.
Don't know of a windows port, you could try cygwin

How to find out the status of a file in java

Hi
I have an application that writes xml files anytime it is invoked. I am writing all unique files to a windows directory.
i also have an ftp client working on that directory that scans all the files and sends them to the server every few minutes.
I want to find a way using which all the files except the one that is being currently written by the application are transferred.
Is there a way to find out in java as to what file is being written to by the operating system at that point of time ? I have looked around for quite a long time and have not been able to find a solution to this problem.
Any help will be deeply appreciated.

out = new FileOutputStream(matcher.group(1)+".open" , true);
                      FileChannel ch = out.getChannel();
                                   FileLock lock = ch.lock(0L, Long.MAX_VALUE, false);
                               // Connect print stream to the output stream
                                   p = new PrintStream( out );
                        p.println ("\n" + parms.getProperty( value ) + "\n");
                              p.flush();
                        p.close();
                              lock.release();Ok, I tried implementing locks but I dont know why it is not working...An exception is thrown and nothing is wriiten to the file. I have employed a complete lock on the file so that no other JVM application can use it.
Actually this is a server that grabs data sent from an Iframe and writes it down to a temp file. I open a file input stream, lock it and then use a printwriter strream to write the realyed data to the file. Any inputs as to what is wrong with the code snippet above?????

How to find out the size of a file?

Hi,
I would like to determine the size of a file from my code. How is that possible? I do not find any appropriate method in the java.io.File class.
Any help would be very appreciated!

java.io.File.length()
Returns the size of the file as a long. The number corresponds to the number of bytes in the file.

Is a way to find out the encoding of a String?

Doesn anyone know how to find out the encoding?

There are some circumstances in which a file (or more
generally, a stream) may expose its own encoding,
IIRC. But of course that's the exception, not the rule.As part of a higher level protocol, sure. HTTP, for example, may have it in a couple places (headers or in the HTML head section). Plain text files do not, however.
But anyway at this point I'm not convinced that
anyone knows for sure what the OP wanted or needed.I agree with that. Not convinced the OP knows, either.
Was he really looking for a heuristic to correctly
y guess the encoding of a stream of bytes, so that
encoding could be used as input to a String
constructor? Or did he just not know how to use the
API?To the OP:
If you have a String, there's no encoding, it's all Unicode chars in the string.
If you have a bunch of bytes (byte[], file, input stream, whatever), then there is some encoding. If you don't know what the encoding is, there's no 100% sure way to figure it out. Some code exists, as mentioned, that can make educated guesses, particularly if you know it's one of a few possible choices. Beyond that, bytes are bytes are bytes, and how they are interpreted by character based classes/methods (like new String(byte[], String)) is defined by the encoding you tell it to use.
So aside from that, what's the issue you're trying to solve?

How to find out the "manufacture date"?

Hello!
Can you tell me how to find out the manufacture date of my Satellite A110-334 with the serial "SY6224123K"?
I need this information for my insurance!
I found only this link for HDD`s: http://www.storage.toshiba.eu/index_manual.php?pid=220&sid=536&la=en
But there is no "S" on the first digit!??
So it is maybe "Y6" which can be November 2006! Is this right?
Thank you!

How to encode a Toshiba Hard Disk Drive Serial Number?
The Toshiba serial number (S/N) includes details of the date of manufacture. The first digit of the serial number indicates the Month of manufacture and the 2nd digit indicates the Year.
Example:
M Y x x x x x x x
M = Month
Y = Year
The month digit goes from 1, for January, through to 9, for September, and then X, Y and Z, for October, November and December.
Examples:
2 8 1 7 0 0 0 1 A
2 = February
8 = 1998
3 0 5 4 4 3 0 6 T
3 = March
0 = 2000
X 9 D 7 8 3 3 1 T
X = October
9 = 1999
The remaining digits contain information about factory and production line, and some digits are reserved for a continuously running serial number.

How to find out the selected column in Table Control

Hi all,
      How to find out the selected column in Table Control?
Thanks & Regards,
YJR

Hi,
Let your table control name in Screen painter be TC1.
READ TABLE TC1-COLS INTO WA_COLS (some wok area)
             WITH KEY SELECTED = 'X'.
        IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          CLEAR: W_DUMMY, W_COL_NAME.
          SPLIT WA_COLS-SCREEN-NAME AT '-' INTO W_DUMMY
                                               W_COL_NAME.
        endif.
W_COL_NAME gives you the column name.
Hope it helps.

Can any one tell me how to find out the selected event in the list

Your subject said 'selected <b>line</b> in list' and your description says 'selected <b>event</b> in the list'. Which one is it you want to know?
For line you will use the event AT LINE-SELECTION and for event you will use AT USER-COMMAND.
Please reward and close if answered, if not, please revert back to the forum with more details.

How to find out the users currently logged into ODI

Hi all,
How to find out the users currently logged into ODI Work Repository?
Thanks.

Hi,
It stores all the final queries in work rep table i.e "SNP_SESS_TXT_LOG" and the column is "TXT".
Here u can find all the ODI bkp process queries.Pls specify the SESS_NO for purtivular task u want to check which u can get this in ODI operator.
I dont think so that it will keep the substituted value(because its implicit and temporary process) but it will keep all the default values in the table SNP_VAR_SESS and the column is "DEF_V".
