How to read number of ';' in a text file

I have a text file with size 2kb. The file has names seperated by ';' . For example John, Smith; David, Putnam; etc ..
Now I have to read the file and find out how many ';' are there.
I tried GUI_upload to read the text file and I think I did not get whole data.
and
loop at itab.
if itab-names cs ';' .
find ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX ';' IN itab-names MATCH COUNT mcnt.
l_mstring = itab-names .
endif.
endloop.
I'm just getting count as 3

DATA : tot_count TYPE i,
mcnt TYPE i.
loop at itab.
if itab-names cs ';' .
find ALL OCCURRENCES OF REGEX ';' IN itab-names MATCH COUNT mcnt.
tot_count = tot_count + mcnt.
endif.
endloop.
You will get total number of ; available in file in the field tot_count.

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 read every line from a text file???

How can i read every line from my text file ("eka.txt")

Since the word "TEXT" is formed of 4 letters, you would read the text file 4 bytes by four bytes. Wrong on two counts. First, the file may not be encoded 1 byte per character. It could be utf-16 in which case it would be two byte per character. Second, even if it were 1 byte per character, the string "Text" may not start on a 4 byte boundary.
Consider a FileInputStream object "fis" that points to your text file. use fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) to read every four bytes. Convert the "TEXT" String into a byte array "TEXT".getBytes(), and yous the Arrays class to compare the equality of the read bytes with your "TEXT".getBytes()Wrong since it relies on my second point and will fail when fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) does not read 4 bytes (as is no guaranteed to). Check the Javadoc. Also, the file may not be encoded with the default character encoding.
The problem is easily solved by reading a line at a time using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader wrapping a FileInputStream and specifying the correct character encoding.

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++){
IPrivate<<VieName>>.INameElement ele=wdContext.createNameElement();
ele.set<<Name>>( Names.get(i).toString());
wdContext.NodeName().addElement(ele);

How to read specific lines from a text file using external table or any other method?

Hi,
I have a text file with delimited data, I have to pick only odd number rows and load into a table...
Ex:
row1: 1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5 ( have to load only this row)
row2:   8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7
Hope this is enough..
I am using Oracle 11.2.0 version...
Thanks

There are various ways to do this. I would be inclined to use SQL*Loader. That way you can load it from the client or the server and you can use a SQL*Loader sequence to preserve the row order in the text file. I would load the whole row as a varray into a staging table, then use the TABLE and MOD functions to load the individual numbers from only the odd rows. Please see the demonstration below.
SCOTT@orcl12c> HOST TYPE text_file.csv
1,2,2,3,3,34,4,4,4,5,5,5,,,5
8,9,878,78,657,575,7,5,,,7,7

How to read numeric array from a text file

I'm new to file I/O in LabView. Basically, all I need is to read the attached 2000 x 9 array into an identical 2D array within LabView. I have tried simply using the READ FROM SPREADSHEET FILE VI but it only reads the first column. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Hunter

I cant open theother examples, so maybe I`m posting something similar, but here`s my approach in LV 6.1
First convert all double spaces to single spaces, then all single spaces to tab. Then use "Spreadsheet string to array" cutting out the first column (extra tabs produce an extra column).

Reading and writing to a text file from an Applet

I'm a novice java programming with very little formal programming training. I've pieced together enough knowledge to do what I've wanted to do so far...
However, I've been unable to figure out how to read and write to a text file from an Applet (I can do it from a normal java program just fine). Here is a simple example of what I'd like to do (you can also look at it on my website: www.stat.colostate.edu/~leach/test02/test02.html). I know that there is some problem with permission/security but I'm not smart enough to understand what the error messages are telling or understand the few books I have. If anyone can tell me how to get this applet to work, or direct me to some referrences that would help me out I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks,
Andy

I have almost the exact same problem, and I am in the same situation as you are with respects to the language.
I am simply trying to create a file and output some garbage to it but my applet always spits back a security violation. I've tried eliminating the restrictions on the applet runner I use but I still get the error.
My method:
debug = new Label() ;
debug.setLocation( 20, 20 ) ;
debug.setSize( 500, 15 ) ;
add( debug ) ;
// output
try
     OutputStream file = new FileOutputStream( new File( "" + getCodeBase() + "output.txt" ) ) ;
     byte[] buffer = { 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 } ;
     file.write( buffer ) ;
     file.close() ;
} catch( Exception e )
     debug.setText( e.toString() ) ;
     Can anyone tell why this isnt working?

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap?

How can I Cache the data I'm reading from a collection of text files in a directory using a TreeMap? Currently my program reads the data from several text files in a directory and the saves that information in a text file called output.txt. I would like to cache this data in order to use it later. How can I do this using the TreeMap Class? These are the keys,values: TreeMap The data I'd like to Cache is (date from the file, time of the file, current time).
import java.io.*;
public class CacheData {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
String target_dir = "C:\\Files";
String output = "C:\\Files\output.txt";
File dir = new File(target_dir);
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
// open the Printwriter before your loop
PrintWriter outputStream = new PrintWriter(output);
for (File textfiles : files) {
if (textfiles.isFile() && textfiles.getName().endsWith(".txt")) {
BufferedReader inputStream = null;
// close the outputstream after the loop
outputStream.close();
try {
inputStream = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(textfiles));

I don't understand your question.
If you don't know how to use TreeMap why do you think a TreeMap is the correct solution for what you want to do?
If you are just asking how to use TreeMap then there are PLENTY of tutorials on the internet and the Java API provides the methods that area available.
TreeMap (Java Platform SE 7 )
Are you sure you want a map and not a tree instead?

We don't have many samples left for Windows Phone 7 + Azure, the closest one to what you want to do is probably:
Using Local Storage with OData on Windows Phone To Reduce Network Bandwidth
this sample uses the local database feature: 'LINQ to SQL', available to Windows Phone 7.1 and 8.0 Silverlight applications, instead of simple file storage but even if you choose to stick with simple file storage I believe you should be able to adapt the
networking related portions of the sample to your particular application.

How to read iCal events from SQLite Cache file?

I need to figure out how to read event entries in the Cache file stored in /Library/Calenders/ as my actual events have been corrupted due to a file system problem. The example below shows the information I have for each entry, where the event in the entry was Bon Jovi Concert, however I am confused how I can read the date and time of the event, information I believe is stored as 218215639,219613081,219524400,219540600. Any help is greatly appreciated.
INSERT INTO "ZCALENDARITEM" VALUES(0,NULL,0,NULL,0,5,NULL,6,4039,NULL,0,0,0,0,0,0,2,23,0,0,0,0,6,0,21821563 9,219613081,219524400,219540600,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,NULL,'local_AFB8D342-2DAE-4F A1-A9A6-3FA9B28B5C7C','Bon Jovi Concert',NULL,NULL,NULL,'Europe/London',NULL,'0E17BBB6-0E76-4024-8DD7-60E43D38D 35B');

OK, here we go ... I hope. I have tried it on my iCal, with about 2000 entries, and it worked. I cannot guarantee that it will work for you.
Make a new text file from sql as before, but using this modified command to get additional data for each event:
sqlite3 Desktop/Hope 'select ZSTARTDATE, ZCALENDARITEM.ZTITLE, ZENDDATE, ZNODE.ZTITLE, ZISALLDAY, ZRECURRENCERULE, ZISDETACHED from ZCALENDARITEM inner join ZNODE on ZCALENDARITEM.ZCALENDAR = ZNODE.Z_PK where ZSTARTDATE not null' >hope.txt
I suggest you make a new user account, then copy the text file hope.txt and the script to the Public/Drop Box folder for that account. Log on to the new account and copy the two files from the drop box to the Desktop. Start iCal and make new calendars to match those in your ordinary account. Double click the script to open it in Script Editor and CHANGE THE DATE RANGE in the "set ThePeriod" line. Stand well back and click the run button. Every 50 records processed it will pop up a progress box, which will pop down again after a second. Go for lunch.
When it is finished see if things look OK in iCal. If they do export each of the calendars, copy them to the drop box of your normal account and return to your normal account to import them.
If there is an error make a note of the error message and line number, find that line in the text file, and post it here with a couple of lines either side.
Note that for recurring items iCal normally only makes a single event, the first occurrence, then uses a recurrence rule to calculate if the event should be displayed in the current window. If there are any recurring events in the period you have selected where the first occurrence is before the period they will not be recreated. Where however you have changed a single occurrence of a recurring event iCal makes a new, detached, event. Any of these in the period will be detected. If their original event was also in the period they will now appear in the iCal display as duplicates. For easy spotting of these, I have prefixed "XX-" to the title of any detached events.
