Replace string in ms word file
Salue,
I need to add a functionality to my Java app by allowing the replacement of strings in ms word files.
Basically I need to use an original MS Word file as template and then populate it with data,
replacing some keywords. And I need to do this with Java.
I know MS Word is binary and not text file, so I was wondering if there is any Java API to let me do this?
Merci, Irene
Irene,
It is possible to use ms word(.doc) or openoffice(.odt) templates and populate them with data.
I came across this solution while trying to convert to pdf, but it is usefull in replacing also.
import officetools.OfficeFile; // officetools.jar from this website http://www.dancrintea.ro/doc-to-pdf/
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("your_template.doc"));
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(new File("your_final_result.doc"));
OfficeFile f = new OfficeFile(fis,"localhost","8100", true);
*f.replaceAll("hello","salue :) ");*
f.write(fos);

Reading text file, Replace string, Write to new file....
I'm kind a lost of on this problem. Using the BufferedReader class and BufferedWriter class, develop an application that reads lines of text from a file. Replace any occurrence of the word *?the?* with *?JAVAJAVA?* and change all characters to upper case before writing each line to a different text file named outfile.txt. Finally, have your application use the appropriate method on the File class to return the absolute path of the outfile.txt file and output the path to the screen.

Flash Charts - How to manipulate the #data# replacement string in XML
I have a problem with the XML file for a flash chart. I am trying to display a 2dColumn chart of an SQL query with the general form:
select null link, x as name, sum(y) as value from z group by (x);
this generates multiple rows, which are displayed as a bar in the chart. So far so good. The problem is, that each row is defined as a block in the chart, but only one name entry is created "value", which is displayed in the legend of the chart.
I can display the block names on the x-axis of the chart, however, I can't rotate them, so that they don't overlap in the display, which I would be able to do with names. I assume, that the blocks are defined in the #data# replacement string of the XML file. I would like to change the generated XML replacement string from the SQL to make each row selected a different name, and only have one block ("value").
What would be the easiest way to achieve this?user587996,
There's no way to manipulate the #data# replacement directly, but you could generate your own XML (see Re: Apex changing nulls to zeroes when creating Flash Charts for one way to do it).
When you say "I can't rotate them, so that they don't overlap in the display" -- have you tried the Labels Rotation chart attribute, or is that not working?

Is it possible to EDIT a text file (word) from FORMS 10g. Let's say I want to FIND and REPLACE text in a word file. Is there any tools or JAVA code that can help me achieve this?

Search and replace strings in a file while ignoring substrings
Hi:
I have a java program that searches and replaces strings in a file. It makes a new copy of the file, searches for a string in the copy, replaces the string and renames the new copy to the original file, thereafter deleting the copy.
Now searching for "abcd", for eg works fine, but searching for "Topabcd" and replacing it doesnot work because there is a match for "abcd" in a different search scenario. How can I modify the code such that if "abcd" is already searched and replaced then it should not be searched for again or rather search for "abcd" as entire string and not if its a substring of another string.
In the below code output, all instances of "abcd" and the ones of "Topabcd" are replaced by ABCDEFG and TopABCDEF respectively, whereas according to the desired output, "abcd" should be replaced by ABCDEFG and "Topabcd" should be replaced by REPLACEMEFIRST.
try
String find_productstring = "abcd";
String replacement_productstring = "ABCDEFG";
compsXml = new FileReader(compsLoc);
compsConfigFile = new BufferedReader(compsXml);
File compsFile =new File("file.xml");
File compsNewFile =new File("file1.xml");
BufferedWriter out =new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("file1.xml"));
while ((compsLine = compsConfigFile.readLine()) != null)
new_compsLine =compsLine.replaceFirst(find_productstring, replacement_productstring);
out.write(new_compsLine);
out.write("\n");
out.close();
compsConfigFile.close();
compsFile.delete();
compsNewFile.renameTo(compsFile);
catch (IOException e)
//since "Topabcd" contains "abcd", which is the search above and hence the string "Topabcd" is not replaced correctly

String find_producttopstring = "Topabcd";

Tell me Logic for search for duplicate words(or strings) in a large file.
Search for duplicate words (or strings) in a text file containing one word per line. For each word that occurs more than once in the flat file output should be as follows
<word> <number of occurrences> <line numbers in the file where the word occurs>
For example, if the word Hello occurs thrice in a file at lines 100, 178 and 3456 the output should read
Hello, 3, [100, 178, 3456]Incidentally i wrote similar code some days back. You need to do some modifications to get the exact output you want, but i hope it will be of some help.
One more thing its written using JAVA5
public class Test
private static final String COLLECTIONS_TEXT = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\amrainder\\Desktop\\Collections.txt";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
findDuplicateWords();
private static void findDuplicateWords() throws IOException
Collection<String> words = new LinkedHashSet<String>();
File file = new File(COLLECTIONS_TEXT);
StreamTokenizer streamTokenizer = new StreamTokenizer(new FileReader(file));
int token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
while(token != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF)
if(token == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD)
words.add(streamTokenizer.sval);
token = streamTokenizer.nextToken();
System.out.println(words);

I want a java program can replace string in a file with given string.
for example,
my file is
abc 100
aaa 110
ded 123
replace aaa with mmm.
my codes is reading line by line and looking for aaa ,if read_line.index("aaa")> -1,then write mmm and aaa.substring
Do you have ant other solutions?is there any file class method I can use?
cheers.String content = <get file content>;
String newContent = content.replaceAll( "aaa", "I get my homework on java.sun.com" );
if( !newContent.equals(content) )
<rewrite file contents> -
I wrote an 2500 words assignment and saved in Microsoft word 97-2003 and by mistake replaced with another word file.How can i retain my original work?
Hi,
Does this happen to all 97-2003 Word files?
Word 2013 now has lots of updates compared with earlier version of Word, lots of features have been updated. Use Word 2013 to open documents created in earlier versions of Word (Word 97-2003 format), you will probably encounter unexpected problems,
expecially for those heavily formatted files.
We would suggest you to convert your document to the Word 2013 file format, then you will be able to access the new and enhanced features in Word 2013.

Possible to read/ write word files using Java?
I'm planning to write a Java application that can read an MS word document, extract something (including mathematics equations created with the equation editor) from the document and write it to another word document.

i am receiving the data through the rs232 in labview and i have to store the data in to the word or text file only if there is a change in the data. I have to scan the data continuasly. how can i do that. I was able to store the data into the text or word file but could not be able to do it. I am gettting the data from rs232 interms of 0 or 1. and i have to print it only if thereis a change in data from 0 to 1. if i use if-loop , each as much time there is 0 or 1 is there that much time the data gets printed. i dont know how to do this program please help me if anybody knows the answer
I have attatched the vi. Here in this it receives the data from rs232 as string and converted into binery. and indicated in led also normally if the data 1 comes then the led's will be off. suppose if 0 comes the corresponding data status is wrtten into the text file. But here the problem is the same data will be printed many number of times. so i have to make it like if there is a transition from 1 to o then only print it once. how to do it. I am doing this from few weeks please reply if you know the answer immediatly
thanking you

GC.Collect();
GC.WaitForPendingFinalizers();I know it's a very old issue and I reached to this page looking for a solution. Finally, I have found a fix to this problem.
The problem is that we create an instance of Word and do not close it correctly. This makes program believe that the file is already open and hence you're getting the respective message of file being locked by you.
Set the visibility of your application to true and then when you close it both file and instance should close and you will not get the problem again. -
