Operations on files with java

Lo there,
I am writing java application that writes web pages, but when i need to update the informaiton in files once the information is update in the database, to do this i want to delete all ".HTML" files in a folder and then re-create them...
I also want to save files, I have a filechooser in place, all i need to do now is get my save button working....
Does anyone please know what commands I need to use or have any sample code i can work from?
cheers
Bill

What exact information are you interested in?
How to delete files or save them?
An ActionListener for the SaveButton?class MyActionListener implements ActionListener {
     public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent ae) {
          ... // here you call your filechooser and do your saving-activity...
}To your button you add the actionListener:
     saveButton.addActionListener(new MyActionListener());I hope, this helps you!

  • How to use parameter file with java

    Is it possible to use a parameter file with Java, and is there any class/method to make it easy to call and use these parameter from a text file, other than scanning the whole text file manually as we can do normally with visual basic/c++, so we can call the program with the parameter file, like java testing c:\\testing.ini

    If I understand you correctly, you may be looking for a properties file. This is basically a text file that contains pairs of strings in the form:
    parameter1=value1
    parameter2=value2
    parameter3=value3
    ...etc.
    and the values are retrieved using the java.util.Properties class - see:
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/docs/api/java/util/Properties.html
    Sample use://Call chis method once, to load the props file.
    //props file is called "demo.properties", and is
    //in a directory that is included in the classpath
        private void loadMyProperties() throws Exception
         InputStream stream = getResourceAsStream("/demo.properties");
         if(stream == null)
             throw new Exception("stream is null!");
         demoProperties = new Properties();
         demoProperties.load(stream);
         stream.close();
    // Then you can retrieve properties in your code using:
    String param3 = demoProperties.getProperty("parameter3");
    //...etc

    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,0,1,true);
    fh = new FileHandler(logFileName,10000000,1,true);without succes.

  • Executing a file with Java?

    Hi,
    I wanted to know how I could execute a file with java. Here are a couple scenarios - let's say I am developing an anti-spyware utility and I wanted to first write a batch file, and then create it in a folder, then run it when they click "Run". Then afterwards I want to shutdown their computer.
    My Mindset:
    - FileWriter to create the .bat and write the Batch commands.
    - Execute the batch file.
    - Execute the shutdown.exe file to reboot their PC.
    So my simple question is, how can I execute a file?
    Thanks!
    -Josh

    Well here is the code I have:
                try
                    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c test.bat");
                catch(IOException e1)
                    //NOTHING
                }Now my cmd.exe is obviously in my Windows System32 folder, and my "test.bat" file is in my C:\ root directory. So I am wondering why that wont execute. I tried a fer other things too like:
    Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe  c:\test.bat");that didn't work either, because you can't have a "\" in a string...
    So how can I get this thing to execute the batch file?

  • Is it possible to play .rm and .wma file with java?

    Hello Friends,
    Please tell me,
    how to play .rm and .wma file with java?
    Thanks,
    Harsh Modha

    As far as I know, you can not play those files.
    Here you have the complete list of supported formats. Hope this helps.
    http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/formats.html
    Maybe you should try to convert from wma or rm to a supported format before attempting to play it.

    Ah, sorry, strike that. You want multiple files. I think the easiest way is to simply parse with DOM. [http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp] . And here [http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/default.asp].
    You can output the various XML elements using a PrintWriter or creating a separate DOM document for each file you want to create and serializing that.

  • Downloading a File with Java

    Hi
    My application downloads a file from a
    website.
    The problem I am having is that if no internet connection is present the
    program throws an exception to do with "Unable to resolve Inet Address".
    If there is an internet connection present it works fine.
    The behaviour I would like (and indeed had until I upgraded to WInXp
    Pro) is for the application to prompt the user to connect to the
    internet if no connection is present.
    I have been unable to locate a method in Java that checks whether an
    internet connection is present of not.
    I am unsure whether the problem is with the setup of the operating
    system or with my code, but if Internet Explorer or Outlook are loaded
    with no internet connection present then a prompt to connect to the web
    is displayed.
    Any help would be much appreciated
    Thanks

    dear friend
    u can do like this.
    try {
    //put your statement here
    } catch(<TheException that is thrown>)
    System.ot.println("connection to internet is not present");
    next part of code
    u can also use a finally block if u want that a

    Hi, guys and geeks!!
    I'm new here and generally not as skilled and talented as you guys -
    that's why I am passing this challenge on to you:
    I want to create a PowerPoint presentation using Java. (My Data will be in XML and I'll have to generate slides with Flow-Charts from that data)
    1.
    I know of only one commercial Library that seems to do this very comfortably. But it costs about $5000... (http://tonicsystems.com/) - have you used it?
    2.
    I know that I could use Apache's POI (http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/), as it gives me access to the MsOLE 2 compound doc. format, but their work is most developed only for Excel and Word. so I'm not sure what kind of obstracles I'd be facing....
    3.
    And then there is JAWIN (http://jawinproject.sourceforge.net/) which would enable me to call COM-Components... How would I do that?
    Any other /better ideas?
    So, please let me know your thoughts and if you know what I could do!
    Also, please let me know how I should go about with it.....
    I'm looking forward to seeing your "muscles" (i.e. knowledge) play...!

  • Open files with java

    Hi I'd like to know if there's a way that you can open a file that's been associated with your java app. I know how to read from a file and I know how to pass command line arguments but what I don't know is how to open my app with a file just by clicking it in my file browser. If needed i could settle for a Mac-specific and a Windows-specific method.

    This is nothing to do with Java, and specific to the OS you're installing to. This question comes up quite regularly, from people who are under the impression it's the responsibility of their app to enforce the file association. It isn't. Your installation should ask users if they want the association made. Remember how annoying it is when something you've just installed takes over the file associations of another app, without asking? Don't do it, your users won't like it
