    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.

  • Reading one line from a text file into an array

    i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
    public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
         InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
         BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);
         String line = "";          
         try{
         int i = 0;
              while (line != null){                 
                   names[i] = reader.readLine();
                   score[i] = reader.readLine();
                   line = reader.readLine();
                   i++;                
              }catch (IOException e){
              System.out.println("Error in file access");
    this section calls it:
    try{                         
         FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("ISU.txt");
              HighScore.readAndProcessData(stream);
              stream.close();
              names = HighScore.getNames();
              scores = HighScore.getScores();
         }catch(IOException e){
              System.out.println("Error in accessing file." + e.toString());
    it gives me an array index out of bounds error

    oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
    They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

  • 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.

    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).

  • How to read the data from an excel file into MYSQL by java language

    Hi all,
    I have some data in excel spread sheet and I want to put the data into MYSQL data base. I created the tables in MYSQL> How can I write a program in JAVA that puts the value from excel sheet to mysql??
    I would appreciate your help
    regards

    By typing code at the keyboard... but presumably you meant to ask what code you should type.
    To get data out of Excel there are a few alternatives. The Google keywords I would use to find them are "java excel". I use Apache POI but there are other possibilities, I believe. As for getting the data into MySQL once you have extracted it from Excel, you would use JDBC. But you already knew that, didn't you? You did find the JDBC forum.
    In general it's better to ask a specific question on a forum. If you don't have a clue (which is the way we all start out) then just telling people that isn't going to be helpful. The best you're going to get is links to tutorials, which you could perfectly well have found for yourself by simple web searches.

  • How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date.

    How do I stop LR4 from organizing imported files into a folder by date. Most times when I import files I have already created a folder and sub-folder structure tyat I want to use. I then right click the desired folder and choose import into this folder option. Why does LR4 insist on organizing my already selected destination into a sub-folder with a date by default?

    TimHillPhotography23 wrote:

    If you do it this way all the time consider a different approach:
    Manually copy your images from the card into your desired destination folder in the Finder/Explorer. Once complete drag&drop that entire folder into Lightroom. When the import dialog pops up select to Add the images to the catalog (not copy or move). You will end up with the exact folder structure reflected in your library.

  • Import Text Files Into Apple Notes?

    Hello,
    Is there a way for me to automate importing text files into Apple Notes? I can certainly do this manually via copy/paste, but have over 700 files to transfer.
    Peace,
    Dr. Z.

    Automator is Apple's simple way to do tasks like this, but Notes app doesn't have any actions for this so I assume you need to use Applescript to do this. Double check Automator  - I am on 10.9 & maybe 10.10 added support for Notes in Automator? Enter 'Note' in the search field to see if Automator can make new Notes.
    There is an example for making notes at…
    http://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/notes/04.html
    See the "Create New Stylized Note" script <- click script icon to download it, copy & paste seems to fail because of how the browser displays characters.
    You would need to adapt that script to import from the text files.
    I'm not sure you really want to do that anyway - Notes app has such poor support that putting serious data into it looks like a mistake - how difficult will it be to export data when Apple eventually abandon it? It seems like a toy app to me for new iPhone users, it;s unclear if it will ever be able to compete with other options. There are third party apps to export from Notes.app, but why rely on third parties? A notes app should allow you to import & export your data!
    Notational Velocity seems like a better choice…
    http://notational.net/
    It will handle notes as text files if you desire, so you can store them in Dropbox if you want. You can also set it to sync to Simplenote on iOS.
    http://simplenote.com/
    If you need images within notes or text styling you could use Evernote or one of the many other notes apps.
    Sorry to sound so negative on Notes.app, it's OK but I don't think its the best place to put over 700 notes.
