Can FileReader write to a binary file

I am just wondering because i would like to use it for a program that is suppose to write in binary. If it can, should I just insert an array of characters that are 1 or 0 or should i actually figure out the bites involved.

Readers read, not write.
So you have a char[] that looks like this: {'0','1','0','0',...}? That's an odd thing to have. I would roll up my sleeves and convert it to a byte[]. Writing that to a file is a simple matter: use FileOutputStream.
edit: can you avoid having a char[] in the first place?

Can TestStand open, read, write and close binary files?

From a TestStand sequence, I need to open, read, write and close binary files. Does TestStand support this capability?

Christine -
In the past I have used the C/C++ Adapter to call directly into the CVI RTE functions. The CVI functions I have used are OpenFile, WriteFile and CloseFile. The functions are exported from the DLL as CVI_OpenFile, CVI_WriteFile, and CVI_CloseFile. I just had to make sure that on termination of the sequence, that the integer handle was properly released by calling the close function.
If you are using LabVIEW, you could call directly into the low level VIs to do a similar set of operations.

Write output to binary file in C/C++?

How can I write output to a file in binary format instead of ascii?
Or... if I am using a buffer.. to write a buffer to binary format instead of ascii?
I am writing a lot of data to a text file and I would like to reduce the size by writing it all into a binary file instead of ascii?

Basic I/O?
char buffer[100];
// C++ style
ofstream file;
file.open ("data.bin", ios::out | ios::binary);
file.write(buffer, sizeof buffer);
/* C style */
FILE* file2 = fopen("data2.bin", "wb");
fwrite(buffer, sizeof buffer, 1, file2);
A lot of people prefer the old C style functions for binary i/o even in C++ (and iostream for formatted i/o). Writing and readong more complex structures requires some castin, in C++ usually done with reinterpret_cast<char*>(someStructure).

You need to install Google on your computer. That way, you can search for all the information on that algorithm available on the Internet.

How can I write relative path in File, ImageIcon objects

I have downloaded examples from
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/example-swing/index.html
but for some reason images are invisible until I write absolute paths?(I use windows) How can I write relative path in File, ImageIcon objects?

Hello;
I've found a lot of complaints about this through the Forte forum as well as on Dejanews. I'm just curious as to whether any of you ended up finding a solution to this problem.
There was one posting about setting up the subdirectory as a URL rather than a String and then using that as the source of the ImageIcon ... but this didn't work for me.
Any help whatsoever would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Write structure to binary file and append

I have a very simple problem that I cannot seem to figure out, which I guess doesn't make it so simple, for me at least. I've made a little example .vi which basically breaks down what I want to to. I have a structure, in this instance 34 bytes of various data types. I would like to iteratively write this structure to a binary file as the data in the ACTUAL structure in my .vi will be changing through time. I'm having trouble getting the data to be appended to the binary file rather than overwriting it since the file size is always 34 bytes regardless of how many times I run the .vi or run the for loop.
I'm not an expert, but it seems if I write a 34 byte structure to a file 10 times, the final product should be a binary file of 340 bytes (assuming I haven't padded or prepended with size).
One really strange thing is that I keep getting error #1544 when I wire the refnum out wire to the file dialog input on the write function, but it works fine when I wire the file path directly to the write function.
Can someone please swoop in and save me from this remedial task?
Thanks for all the help. NI Forum rules!
Solved!

Did you consider reading the text of the error message? Don't set the "disable buffering" input to true - just leave that input unwired. Why do you want to disable buffering?
As a general practice, the file refnum should be stored in a shift register around the for loop instead of using loop tunnels, that way if you have zero iterations you will still get the file refnum passed through correctly. Also, there is no need for Set File Position inside the loop, since the file location is always the end of the last write unless it's specifically moved to another location. You might want it once outside the loop after you open the file, if you're appending to an existing file.

Lightroom 5 can't write metadata to DNG files

I have converted a large number of Canon and Nikon raw files to DNG using Adobe DNG Converter (version 8.2.0.94).
Using Lightroom 5.2 I wanted to change metadata in these master DNG files. I import the files into a catalog, select all, modify the metadata, then invoke the Metadata->Save Metadata to Files... For many (but not all) of the files I get the following message:
"Could not write metadata. Unknown file formats."
The DNG files reside on a Synology NAS server. If I copy them to a local disk I do not get the above error. But I would like to make metadata changes to the files on the NAS.
I do not have problems importing or viewing DNG files from the NAS. Why does LR 5 have problems writing DNG metadata to the NAS? How can I fix this?

Thanks for replying.
The problem is definitely not one of permissions. I am accessing the NAS from an admin account with full permissions to read/write the files and directories.
I'm inclined to believe it's the second cause you propose -- network protocol causing data corruption.
It seems to be specific to writing metadata to large files such as DNG or TIFF. I don't get errors writing to JPEG. And it is inconsistent -- sometimes retrying fixes it. And, oddly, sometimes I even get the error "photos have read-only access" when it's clear the permissions are OK.
On the other hand I have had no problems copying thousands of DNGs to/from the NAS -- no errors and no corruption. So the issue seems to be an interaction between the NAS and LR when LR is updating the metadata on an existing file and the file is large.

Can you manually edit the file?
No. vi thinks it's a readonly file despite the 0600 perms

The permissions thing is interesting. Is the problem that I had a different UID or GID on the "old" machine image (the one I restored from) than what's currently running? And if so, how to remedy?
thanks much!

What is the best combination of read and write objects to binary files ...

Hi everyone,
what are the best combination of read and write objects to read/write a record of customers from a binary file. I should be able to use StringTokenizer. I am bit confused with all these Stream reader and writers.
abdul

You are, indeed, confused:
o StreamTokenizer works on character input, not binary input.
o Readers and Writers in general work on character streams, not binary.
That leaves you various input streams and output streams for reading binary data.

end;can any please help me how can I overcome this problem
Thanks,

You can write by breaking it into small chunks. Also you can try to use DBMS_XSLPROCESSOR.CLOB2FILE. For UTL_FILE the code snippets may looks like
-- Read chunks of the CLOB and write them to the file
-- until complete.
   WHILE l_pos < l_blob_len
   LOOP
      DBMS_LOB.READ (rec.l_clob, l_amount, l_pos, l_buffer);
      UTL_FILE.put_line (l_file, l_buffer, FALSE);
      l_pos := l_pos + l_amount;
   END LOOP;

Can i maitain my own binary files using a ejb

actually the need my program is to maitaing the log of all the transaction being fired using the beans. for that i need to maintain my own log which is typically a text file. can i create and access that file from an session bean, if yes how it can be done. i tried to use java.io.* package but not getting how to create a text file from a bean and how to manipulate it afterwords

Anyway, I read somewhere that java.io package should not be used directly in an EJB; maybe it's in the EJB specifications. You might use a ResourceStream.

Can't write to my own files? Already repaired permissions

Okay, here's a weird permissions problem for you.
For a reason I don't need to go into, I deleted my primary User account and started a fresh one.
Even here, I got the feeling there something wrong. When I deleted the old account, my ~/ folder renamed to "David (Erased)" or something similar. I booted into the new account (also named David) and was suprised to find *my files/settings already loaded*!
Anyway, I renamed the "David (Erased)" folder to "Old" and re-created my new account (using the root account). Everything was fine.
Once I got the new account set up, I imported the old folders, minus parts of ~/Library and ran a chown -R David /Users/David.
But now, I can't rename any of the folders in ~/. Strangely, *I can write to the non-folder files*.
When I run ls -l, I get that my directories (but not other documents) have an @ sign at the end. Which I have read *stands for symbolic link*?
But my folders are not symbolic links.
*What's going on?*

DBJ wrote:
I should have been more specific. When I say "It didn't work" I mean that after I went through all four steps, I wasn't able to rename the folders in the ~/ directory.
which folders did you try to rename? the only ones that should be giving you trouble are the folders listed in this command
chmod +a "everyone deny delete" ~/ ~/Desktop ~/Documents ~/Downloads ~/Library ~/Movies ~/Music ~/Pictures ~/Public ~/Sites
those folders shouldn't be renamed or moved.
I understand why we're adding all those privileges to the Drop Box, but shouldn't we be adding them to all the folders?
no, all the other folders and files are already owned by you and other users have no write access to them . other users only have write access to your drop box.

Can I write to a text file on local HDD from forms appl?

Hi All,
We have 8i database being accessed by 6i forms application using web-based arch. Clients are on windowsNT/window2000. Is it possible to dump some data in a text file from forms application (by pressing a button) on local hard disk? User is looking something similar to sqlplus spool in forms 6i. Is this possible? User is specific about file being created in local machine and not on server(utl_file/dbms_pipe). Any ideas?
Thanks.

You can find explanation and a quick start guide on PJCs on the Forms Upgrade Center at:
I think the following code can give you a starting point for a PJC (based on text_item) that will do it.
Also you will need to sign this JAR because you want to access the client machine - see the sigining paper on OTN.
To activate this PJC you will use something like SET_CUSTOM_PROPERTY ('text_item1', 1, 'WRITE', :text_item1);
In your form.
import oracle.forms.ui.VTextField;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import oracle.forms.properties.ID;
public class textio extends VTextField
public final static ID WRITE = ID.registerProperty("WRITE");
String a = "hello";
public textio()
public boolean setProperty(ID p0, Object p1)
if (p0==WRITE)
try
FileOutputStream fileOut = new FileOutputStream("c:\\temp\\textio.txt");
fileOut.write(p1.toString().getBytes());
fileOut.close();
} catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();

HOW CAN I   WRITE   TEXT IN A     FILE

HI,
I have problems with saving files on my hard disk with an JAVA Applet.
Do you know how to do it in the best way?
here is the code i'm trying:
public String getCount()
      int count=456;
      String rec=null;
      DataOutputStream dos = null;
      try
        URL                url;
        URLConnection      urlConn;
        url = new URL(getCodeBase().toString() + "counter.txt");
        urlConn = url.openConnection();
        urlConn.setDoOutput(true);
        urlConn.setUseCaches(false);
        urlConn.setRequestProperty ("Content-Type", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded");
        rec=""+count;
        dos = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream());
        dos.writeChars(rec);
        dos.flush();
        dos.close();
       catch (MalformedURLException mue) { return mue.toString(); }
       catch (IOException ioe) { return ioe.toString(); }
      return rec;
    }this code is simply saving the value ot count in the file "counter.txt"
I think the problem comes at the line: dos = new DataOutputStream(urlConn.getOutputStream());
It doesn't throws exception, it just stopes there and doesn't show any result.
WHY?
If you have some ideas ...thanks.
the class DataInputStream is working perfectly. I'm reading, but saving does not work.

You're using getCodeBase() to construct the file name, apparently, so I guess you are wanting to write to a file on the server where the applet was loaded from. And it looks like you're trying to do a POST to the URL that you construct, or something like that. But the URL ends in ".txt" so most likely your server isn't exposing that URL to the outside world.
You're on the right track, but you need to write to a URL that can accept POST requests and knows what to do with them. You can't just write to a file on the server -- if you could do that in your applet then anybody in the world could do it from a simple program, so consider the security implications of that.
