Accessing char array?

Hello,
I trying to find a method, to access a char array by allowing the user to enter chars as a grid reference.
One of the members here suggested this approach, but I cannot get the code to access the array correct position.
Any ideas?
Thanks
char[][] charArray = new char[5][5];
charArray[1][1] = 'X';
String rowCol = "BB";
int temp1 = (int) rowCol.charAt(0)- rowCol.charAt(0);
int temp2 = (int) rowCol.charAt(1)- rowCol.charAt(1);
char value = charArray[temp1][temp2];

The other memeber suggested:
String rowCol = AA;
int temp1 = (int) rowCol.charAt(0)- 'A';
int temp2 = (int) rowCol.charAt(1)- 'A';
This gives a value of (0) in both tenp1, and temp2.
The problem is, if I use:
String rowCol to = BB;
int temp1 = (int) rowCol.charAt(0)- 'B';
int temp2 = (int) rowCol.charAt(1)- 'B';
temp1 and temp2 still both equal 0.

Convert jstring to char array or int array

Hi all, please help with the following code. I've tested this code with hard coded char array and it works. Now I have to get the char array from parameter "param1" which is passed from Java.
The following code compiled with error message:
error C2223: left of '->GetStringUTFChars' must point to struct/union
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_DongleSet_DongleWrite(JNIEnv *env,jobject obj,jstring param1){
char HaspBuffer[500]=(char)env->GetStringUTFChars(param1,NULL);
int Service=MEMOHASP_WRITEBLOCK;
int SeedCode=300;
int LptNum=0;
int Pass1=pass1;
int Pass2=pass2;
int p1=0;
int p2=12;
int p3=0;
int p4=(int)HaspBuffer;
hasp(Service,SeedCode,LptNum,Pass1,Pass2,&p1,&p2,&p3,&p4);
I've tried this:char HaspBuffer[500]=env->GetStringUTFChars(param1,NULL);
And this:char HaspBuffer[500]=(*env)->GetStringUTFChars(param1,NULL);
All give me errors.
Please help.

char * HaspBuffer=(*env)->GetStringUTFChars(param1,NULL); When writing pure C, you have to supply the JNIEnv as first arg to every JNIEnv function pointer.char * HaspBuffer=(*env)->GetStringUTFChars(env, param1, NULL);Look here: http://developer.java.sun.com/developer/onlineTraining/Programming/JDCBook/jnistring.html

Importing text file into 2D char array

Hey folks. I've aged a few years trying to figure this project out. Im trying to make a crossword puzzle and am having problems importing the answer letters into a 2D array of 15*15. The text file would look something like this:
LAPSE TAP RAH
AVAIL OLE ODE
BARGE PARADOX
etc
I have JTextFields that the user will answer and a button the user can press to see if the answers are right by comparing the 2D array answer with what the user inputted.-the user input would be scanned and put into a 2D array also.
How should i go about inserting each letter into an array? The spaces i would later need to make code to grey out the text field. This is what i have so far. Forgive me if its sloppy.
     class gridPanel extends JPanel
          //----Setting Grid variables
          private static final int ROWS = 15;
          private static final int COLS = 15;
          String[] letters = { "A", "B", "C", "D", "E" };// To test entering strings into array
           gridPanel()
             this.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
             //.......Making my JTextField grid for user input
             JTextField[][] grid = new JTextField[ROWS][COLS];
             for(int ROWS = 0; ROWS<grid.length; ROWS++)
                 for(int COLS = 0; COLS<grid.length; COLS++)
                     grid[ROWS][COLS] = new JTextField(1);
                     add(grid[ROWS][COLS]);
                 //grid[ROWS][COLS].setText("" + letters[0]);
             String an = null;
             StringTokenizer tokenizer = null;
             Character[][] answer = new Character[ROWS][COLS];
          try{
             BufferedReader bufAns = new BufferedReader( new FileReader("C:\\xwordanswers.txt"));
             for (int rowCurrent = 0; rowCurrent < ROWS; rowCurrent++)
          an = bufAns.readLine();
          tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(an);
          for (int colCurrent = 0; colCurrent < COLS; colCurrent++) {
          char currentValue = tokenizer.nextToken().charAt(0);//Needs to be changed to reflect each letter
                    answer[rowCurrent][colCurrent] = currentValue;
                System.out.println(currentValue);
          }catch (IOException ioex)
                    System.err.println(ioex);
                    System.exit(1);
        }//xword graphics end
      This obviously prints the first char of each word, it also gives me an "Exception in thread "main" java.util.NoSuchElementException" error for some reason.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

If the file format is stored as follows:
APPLE
L A
PARSE
N E
PEAR then we can parse this into a 2D char array:
char[][] readMap(String fileName) {
    char[][] ret = new char[ROWS][COLS];
    FileInputStream FIS = new FIleInputStream(fileName);
    int i, j;
    for(i = 0; i < ROWS; i++)
        for(j = 0; j < COLS; j++)
            ret[i][j] = FIS.read();
    FIS.close();
    return ret;
}Then you can use the resulting 2D char array in your answer checking mechanism.
Hope this helps~

Reading .txt file into char array, file not found error. (Basic IO)

Iv been having some trouble with reading characters from a text file into a char array. I havnt been learning io for very long but i think im getting the hang of it. Reading and writing raw bytes
and things like that. But i wanted to try using java.io.FileReader to read characters for a change and im having problems with file not found errors. here is the code.
try
File theFile = new File("Mr.DocumentReadMe.txt");
String path = theFile.getCanonicalPath();
FileReader readMe = new FileReader(path);
char buffer[] = new char[(int)theFile.length()];
int readData = 0;
while(readData != -1)
readData = readMe.read(buffer);
jEditorPane1.setText(String.valueOf(buffer));
catch(Exception e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, e,
"Error!", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE);
The error is: java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\Users\Kaylan\Documents\NetBeansProjects\Mr.Document\dist\Mr.DocumentReadMe.txt (The system cannot find the file specified)
The text file is saved in the projects dist folder. I have tried saving it elsewhere and get the same error with a different pathname.
I can use JFileChooser to get a file and read it into a char array with no problem, why doesnt it work when i specify the path manually in the code?

Well the file clearly isn't there. Maybe it has a .txt.txt extensionthat Windows is kindly hiding from you - check its Properties.
But:
String path = theFile.getCanonicalPath();
FileReader readMe = new FileReader(path);You don't need all that. Just:
FileReader readMe = new FileReader(theFile);And:
char buffer[] = new char[(int)theFile.length()];You don't need a buffer the size of the file, this is bad practice. Use 8192 or whatever.
while(readData != -1)
readData = readMe.read(buffer);
}That doesn't make sense. Read the data into the buffer and repeat until you get EOF? and do nothing with the contents of the buffer? The canonical read loop in Java goes like this:
while ((count = in.read(buffer)) > 0)
out.write(buffer, 0, count); // or do something else with buffer[0..count-1].
jEditorPane1.setText(String.valueOf(buffer));Bzzt. That won't give you the content of 'buffer'. Use new String(buffer, 0, count) at least.

Access XML array inside MovieClip. How ?!

Hello,
Ok, I have a code to load Multiple XML files at once and save it to an array named xmlDocs like this:
//each xml file to load

//the xml file with all the xml files to be loaded.
var RSSWidgetRequest:URLRequest = new URLRequest("xml/rss-widget.xml");
var urlLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
var docsXML:XML = new XML();
docsXML.ignoreWhitespace = true;
//when COMPLETE is loaded run function loadDocs
urlLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,loadDocs);
urlLoader.load(RSSWidgetRequest);
//load the docs
function loadDocs(event:Event):void {
docsXML = XML(event.target.data);
//m21m is the name space defined in my doc m21m:feed... you don't need one.
var m21m:Namespace=docsXML.namespace("m21m");
//get all the feed nodes
var feeds=docsXML..m21m::feed;
for (var i:int=0; i < feeds.length(); ++i) {

//do something when all xml is loaded
How i can access xmlDocs array difinte on main timeline from insted MovieClip...?!
Regards,

It does not work. I used this code to display the data:

How to access complex arrays/types in a class

public class VirusScanMessage {
public byte[] fileContent;
public int fileSize;
public String messages;
public String datLocation;
jclass clazz = env->FindClass("VirusScanMessage");
// get field
jfieldID byteArrayField = env->GetFieldID(clazz,"fileContent","[b");
// get the byteArray object
jbyteArray byteArray = env->GetObjectField(object,byteArrayField);
// get array length
jsize fileContentLength = env->GetArrayLength(byteArray);
jbyte * fileContent = env->GetByteArrayElements(byteArray,0);
// do stuff
// release array
env->ReleaseByteArray(byteArray,fileContent,0);thats the normal way but how to access the arrays if they are complex like this(struct1,class2)?:
public class VirusScanMessage {
public struct1[] fileContent;
public int fileSize;
public String messages;
public String datLocation;
public class2 cl2;
}

Note that your code is missing error checking.
thats the normal way but how to access the arrays if they are complex like this(struct1,class2)?:Retrieve each item from the array as an Object.

Accessing multidimensional Array using JSTL

Hi there,
first of all: I'm a newbie to JSP/JSTL :-)
I'm calling a Java-bean from my JSP. In this bean, a 2-dimensional array is created which holds four values per entry. I can access this array from my JSP w/ following code:
<jsp:useBean id="feedback" scope="session" class="de.qv.feedback.Feedback"/>
<% feedback.getDaten()     %>
<c:forEach var="ids" items="${feedback.bogenListe}">
     <c:forEach var="ids2" items="${ids}">
          <c:out value="${ids2}" />
          </c:forEach>
</c:forEach>
Now I want the data to be displayed within a HTML-table. How do I do this? I think I have to access each value one by one, but I don't know how.
Any hint will be greatly appreciated!
TIA,
Buzzy

Aye, this works :-)
One more thing: This line accesses each element one by
one:
<c:forEach var="value" items="${docs}">
Is it possible to access a specific value, e.g. only
the 2nd or 4th element?
Or do I have to use a counter and <c:if...> to to
this?No, you can do use the square brackets to get specific values if you want:
<table>
<c:forEach var="docs" items="${feedback.bogenListe}">
<tr>
//Remember arrays are zero indexed so [0][1][2][3][4] second doc = [1]
<td><c:out value="${docs[1]}"/></td><c:out value="${docs[3]}"/></td>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
//or, if you want all even values, but don't want to manually read them
<c:forEach var="docs" items="${feedback.bogenListe}">
<tr>
<c:forEach var="curr" items="${docs}" begin="1" step="2">
<td><c:out value="${curr}"/></td>
</c:forEach>
</tr>
</c:forEach>
</table>
<td><c:out value="${docs[2]}"/></td><c:out value="${docs[4]}"/></td>
</td>
</c:forEach>

Char arrays, spliting

am new to java programing.
am trying to write a simple hangman game, that asks a user to pick a topic and then takes the elements in that topic i.e. elements in an array an picks one at random, everything up to this point works well. When i try to split the choosen word up and store it in a char array i get and error message:
incompatible types - found java.lang.string[] but expected char
the code is:
private void FillArray1()
words[0] = "elephant";
words[1] = "cat";
words[2] = "dog";
words[3] = "horse";
words[4] = "sheep";
choice = GenRandom();
Split();
public void Split()
for (int i=0; i < hidden.length; i++){
hidden[i] = choice.split ("");}
private String GenRandom()
randGen = new Random();
int index = randGen.nextInt(words.length);
return words[index];
does anyone know wot am doing wrong. its being written in an enviroment called bluej.

If you want to convert a String to an array of chars do:
String s = "test";
char[] charArray = s.toCharArray();And I think you mean:
private String[] words; // and not private string[] words;

Is there only one way to initialize a char array ?

char[] helloArray = { 'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', '.'};
why does't this working like it works in c ?
char hey[]={"you are dead !"};
??

DogsAreBarking wrote:

??C != Java
In C, strings are char arrays, in Java they are instances of java.lang.String.
edit: try this:
char[] chars = "hello, world".toCharArray();

Pass char array to c++ DLL and return same char array

Lectori Salutem,
Here is the situation:
Im learning TestStand, and to learn the basics, I want to do the following:
Call a (C++) DLL in TestStand with an array of chars.
The DLL should return the array of chars (or a pointer to the datalocation).
This is the code in my DLL:
TESTDLL3_API char* bounceString(char data[])
data = "Hello World";
cout << data;
char* pointer = data;
return pointer;
However, this function will not be recognized by TestStand
When this is working, I think I can build the rest of the functionality by myself.
Thanks in advance for any help!
Jeroen
The Netherlands
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Sadly, in the example there is no return value to TestStand.
However, I did manage to return the pointer of the char array to TestStand:
int __declspec( dllexport ) bounceString2(char* argument)
void *pointer;
int i;
argument = "Hello";
pointer = argument;
i = (int) pointer;
return i;
So, right now I have to find out how to retrieve the char array from the pointer...
Jeroen
PS, I will look at the CVI code, and let you know about my process

HELP WITH CHAR ARRAY

Here is the go folks this is a pice of code which I was helped with by a member of this forum, THANX HEAPS DUDE. What has happened now is the criteria is changed, previously it would search for a string in the vector. But now I have to have searches with wildcards, so it needs to utilize a char array methinks. So it will go through change the parameter to a char array, then go through the getDirector() method to return a director string, then it needs to loop through the char array and check if the letters are the same. then exit on the wild card. Now all this needs to be happening while this contruct down the bottom is looping through all the different elements in the moviesVector :s if anyone could give me a hand it is verry welcome. I must say also that this forum is very well run. 5 stars
public void searchMovies(java.lang.String searchTerm) {
Iterator i = moviesVector.iterator();
while (i.hasNext()) {
Movie thisMovie = (Movie)i.next();
//Now do what you want with thisMovie. for instanse:
if (thisMovie.getDirector().equals(searchTerm))
foundMovies.add(thisMovie);
//assumes foundMovies is some collection that we will
//return later... or if you just want one movie, you can:
//return thisMovie; right here.
}

Sorry, I clicked submit, but i didnt enable to wtch it, so i stoped it before it had sent fully. Evidently that didnt work.

bschauwe:Thank you for your help!
Yes,just as you say,using NewString Or NewStringUTF can import a C char array into a Java String variable! But now I have another question,when i use these two functions ,i found that it cant deal with Chinese character!
do you have such experiences to deal with another language charset?if you have ,can you tell me how to deal with it.

How to convert char array to string

sirs,
i have written a method in java which will return a randomly generated string of a fixed length. i am creating one one character and inserting it into char array.
at last i am converting it to string
like this
String newpass= pass.toString();// pass is a char array
but problem is that the string is having different value what i hav generated.
if i am doing like this..
String newpass= new String(pass);// pass is a char array
here newpass is having correct value but having some error
error in the sense when i print
System.out.println(newpass+"some text");
"some text" is not printing
can you suggest the better way

/*this is my method */
private String generateString(int len){
          char pass[] = new char[10];
          int cnt=0;
          int temp=0;
          Random randomGenerator = new Random();
               for (int idx = 0; idx < 1000; ++idx)
                    temp = randomGenerator.nextInt(1000)%128;
               if((temp>=65 && temp<=90)||(temp>=97 && temp<=122)||(temp>=48 && temp<=57))
                         pass[cnt]=(char)temp;
                         cnt++;
                    if(cnt>=len) break;
               String newpass= pass.toString();
               String newpass1= new String(pass);
               System.out.println("passed pass"+newpass+"as"+newpass1+"sa");
          return newpass;
here newpass and newpass1 are having separate values
why ??

Char array conversion from String: toCharArray()

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me why this code:
import com.wuw.debug.Trace;
public
class charTest
   public static void
   main( String[] args )
       String strIn = new String( "strIn" );
       Trace.DTRACE( "strIn: "+strIn );
       Trace.DTRACE( "strOut: "+strIn.toCharArray() );
}produces this output:
[DTRACE]: strIn: strIn
[DTRACE]: strOut: [C@1fef6f
and not:
[DTRACE]: strIn: strIn
[DTRACE]: strOut: strIn

Because:
String.toCharArray returns an array of chars.
An array is basically an object in java.
Objects are converted to strings with the method toString - if it's not implemented in your class the string that method returns will be of the form classname@hashcode.
In the case of a char array, the name of the class is "[C". The hashcode of you object seems to be "1fef6f" (in hex).
You'll just have to remember that an array of chars is [i]not a string in java.

Can't access global array

Hi,
I am using ActionScript 2.0, and I have the following
situation:
I have a function which fetches values from database and sets
those values in an array.
Now when I am accessing those array values in another
function, i am unable to access them.
So the solution I found was to declare the array as global. I
tried and searched for declaring global arrays, but no success.
I have tried _global, at some site, i found that _global does
not work in AS 2.0.
I have also tried using variable names prefixed underscore
and double underscore, but no success.
Please suggest me a way out of this problem, how to declare
global array.
Thanks in advance.

there is no global per say in action script and IMHO global
is a very very bad design decision, instead you can have a "global"
for an instance scope, say your function that fetches array is in
some class A then you can have variable in that class :
private var myarray:Array or
private var myClass:ArayCollection
then if both functions are in same class you can accessing
with no problem, if functions are in different class then your
variable neesd a public modifier and you will also need a clas
instance that holds that array in a function so that you can say
myclassinstance.myArray
