i want to clear a text file from all characters.Call the FileWriter constructor with a boolean append argument set to false. It will create a new file overwriting the previous one.
BufferedWriter w = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("index.txt", false));

Verification of text file content without using AUT

The AUT is generating a text file. The text file can not be opened in the AUT.
How can I verify the content of the text file (e. g. with regular expressions)?

You may use read-lines command.
It reads lines and writes them one-by-one to output pipe.
Please try and let me know if you have any questions.

That's not extracting anything from the lines. That's just dumping the contents of the file directly into the ring. That can be accomplished by simply doing this:

How to print a text file contents using java.

Using Input and Output streams I can add and retrive the contents to/from text file. But how to send this file contents to the printer or how to print the file.

Send text file content as the body of an email using Send-MailMessage

I am taking the last 8 lines of a bunch of robocopy logs and bunching them together.
Get-ChildItem -Filter *.log | ForEach {
$a += Get-Content $_.Name | Select -Last 8
$a += Write-output ' '`r
$a += Write-Output '------------------------------------------------------------------------------'`r
I then wanted to use this as the body of an email (send-mailmessage). It all works but the formatting is lost in the email. I've tried using Out-String and ConvertTo-HTML with little luck.
If I look at $a in the above it looks fine in the PowerShell console it's just lost when it reaches my inbox.
I am using v2 of PowerShell and sadly can't upgrade it.

The issue isn't that part. It's the content of the log files that loses its formatting.
$a += Get-Content $_.Name | Select -Last 8

please tell me how and where to use it..How? -- See the IO Tutorials on Sun for the FileReader (and I assume you know how to call setText and append in the JTextArea).
Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.

How to convert content of a Text file to String?

Hi,
I need to read the content of a text file and convert it into String and display it on to a JSP file.
But the codings below don't work. Please advise me on how can i display the text file content.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
File adCheck = new File("list.txt");
fis = new FileInputStream(adCheck);
int Length = adCheck.length();
byte arr[] = new byte[Length];
int dataRead = 0;
int totalData = 0;
while(totalData <Length)
dataRead = fis.read(arr,totalData,Length);
totalData += dataRead;
String Content = new String(arr);//byte array converted to String
arr = null;

Take a BufferReader:
BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("c:\test.txt");
String temp = read.readln();
You can make loops etc. Adding new Strings to an ArrayList,
adding Strings etc....

How can i read all the lines from a text file in specific places and use the data ?

string[] lines = File.ReadAllLines(@"c:\wmiclasses\wmiclasses1.txt");
for (int i = 0; i < lines.Length; i++)
if (lines[i].StartsWith("ComboBox"))
And this is how the text file content look like:
ComboBox Name cmbxOption
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
ComboBox Name cmbxStorage
Classes Win32_LogicalFileSecuritySetting
Classes Win32_TapeDrive
What i need to do is some things:
1. Each time the line start with ComboBox then to get only the ComboBox name from the line for example cmbxOption.
Since i have already this ComboBoxes in my form1 designer i need to identify where the cmbxOption start and end and when the next ComboBox start cmbxStorage.
2. To get all the lines of the current ComboBox for example this lines belong to cmbxOption:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Classes Win32_1394ControllerDevice
3. To create from each line a Key and Value for example from the line:
Classes Win32_1394Controller
Then the key will be Win32_1394Controller and the value will be only 1394Controller
Then the second line key Win32_1394ControllerDevice and value only 1394ControllerDevice
4. To add to the correct belonging ComboBox only the value 1394Controller.
5. To make that when i select in the ComboBox for example in cmbxOption the item 1394Controller it will act like i selected Win32_1394Controller.
For example in this event:
private void cmbxOption_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
InsertInfo(cmbxOption.SelectedItem.ToString(), ref lstDisplayHardware, chkHardware.Checked);
In need that the SelectedItem will be Win32_1394Controller but the user will see in the cmbxOption only 1394Controller without the Win32_
This is the start of the method InsertInfo
private void InsertInfo(string Key, ref ListView lst, bool DontInsertNull)
That's why i need that the Key will be Win32_1394Controller but i want that the user will see in the ComboBox only 1394Controller without the Win32_

Hello,
Here is a running start on getting specific lines in the case lines starting with ComboBox. I took your data and placed it into a text file named TextFile1.txt in the bin\debug folder. Code below was done in
a console app.
using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication1
internal class Program
private static void Main(string[] args)
var result =
from T in File.ReadAllLines(Path.Combine(AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirectory, "TextFile1.txt"))
.Select((line, index) => new { Line = line, Index = index })
.Where((s) => s.Line.StartsWith("ComboBox"))
select T
).ToList();
if (result.Count > 0)
foreach (var item in result)
Console.WriteLine("Line: {0} Data: {1}", item.Index, item.Line);
Console.ReadLine();

Importing text file (with file names) into Automator.. is it possible?

Hello all,
I have been working with Windows Batch files for my line of work. I have a couple of file names in a text file (a column), which I want to copy from one folder of one hdd to another folder on a different hdd. I have been trying to do this kind of work with a Mac. I already know how you copy and rename files in automator (which isn't difficult, of course) but you have to 'select' the files in the finder first (with get specified items).
But the only way i see that you can specify items is by selecting them... is there a way to import a text file with all the file names instead of selecting all the file names manually?
or is there an AppleScript alternative which I can use to import the text file (or just copy into applescript) and run before the query's of copying and renaming the files? I am kind of new to Apple programming.
The text file looks like this:
image1.jpg
image2.jpg
etc..
so there has to be a command to: 'goto' a specific folder as well.
Thanks in advance!

You can import text files, but if they are just names you will need an additional action to add the source folder path. A *Run AppleScript* action can be used, for example:
Tested workflow:
1) *Ask for Finder Items* {Type: files } -- choose the text file containing the names
2) *Combine Text Files* -- this gets the text file contents
3) *Filter Paragraphs* { return paragraphs that are not empty } -- skip blank lines
4) *Run AppleScript* -- copy and paste the following script:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680; height: 340px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- add folder path
add the specified folder path to a list of file names
input: a list of text items (the file names)
output: a list of file paths (aliases)
set output to {}
set SkippedItems to {} -- this will be a list of skipped items (errors)
set SourceFolder to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the folder containing the file names") as text -- this is the folder containing the names
repeat with AnItem in the input -- step through each name in the input
try
set AnItem to SourceFolder & AnItem -- add the prefix
set the end of the output to (AnItem as alias) -- test
on error number ErrorNumber -- oops
set ErrorNumber to (" (" & ErrorNumber as text) & ")" -- add the specific error number
set the end of SkippedItems to (AnItem as text) & ErrorNumber
end try
end repeat
ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
return the output -- pass the result(s) to the next action
end run
to ShowSkippedAlert for SkippedItems
show an alert dialog for any items skipped, with the option to cancel the workflow
parameters - SkippedItems [list]: the items skipped
returns nothing
if SkippedItems is not {} then
set {AlertText, TheCount} to {"Error with AppleScript action", count SkippedItems}
if TheCount is greater than 1 then
set theMessage to (TheCount as text) & space & " items were skipped:"
else
set theMessage to "1 " & " item was skipped:"
end if
set {TempTID, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {AppleScript's text item delimiters, return}
set {SkippedItems, AppleScript's text item delimiters} to {SkippedItems as text, TempTID}
if button returned of (display alert AlertText message (theMessage & return & SkippedItems) ¬

How to make an applet to read the Text file present inside a jar

Hi All,
I have writen one applet named ReadFile.java which reads a text file present in the same directory and does some manipulation of text file contents.
The applet code runs successfully when i run the applet in command prompt like
{color:#ff0000}*java ReadFile*{color}
And i am getting the needed results.
Then i made a jar file with the applet code and text file as
{color:#ff0000}*jar cvf rf.jar ReadFile.class File1.txt*{color}
Then i have inlcuded this applet inside a html file as
{color:#ff0000}*<applet code= "ReadFile.class" width= "500" height= "300" archive = "rf.jar" ></applet>*{color}
after this when i load the html file, the applet code is not executed fully. Its throwing FileNotFoundException: File1.txt.
Applet is not recognizing trhe text file present inside the jar file.
Can any body explain me how to overcome this problem. Any setting needs to be done for making the applet indicate the presence of Text file inside the jar file.

what code in your applet gets the text file and reads it? are you using getResource or something similar?

Error:ORA-21560: argument 2 is null, invalid, or out of range
I want to diplay/view as per file content format from the file under that specified directory.
Have any other method / any help or suggestions would be really appreciated.

I changed the code like...
CREATE OR REPLACE Procedure READ_FILE_LOB_tmp IS
-- Input Directory as specified in create directory
l_dir CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'READ_LOB_DIR';
-- Input File which is read word by word
l_fil CONSTANT VARCHAR2(30) := 'testfile.txt';
-- Separator Character between words is a BLANK (ascii = 32)
l_seb CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(32));
-- Character at the end of the file is NEWLINE (ascii = 10)
l_sen CONSTANT RAW(100) := UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_RAW(CHR(10));
-- Pointer to the BFILE
l_loc BFILE;
-- Current position in the file (file begins at position 1)
l_pos NUMBER := 1;
-- Amount of characters have been read
l_sum BINARY_INTEGER := 0;
-- Read Buffer
l_buf VARCHAR2(4000);
-- End of the current word which will be read
l_end NUMBER;
-- Return value
l_ret BOOLEAN := FALSE;
BEGIN
-- Mapping the physical file with the pointer to the BFILE
l_loc := BFILENAME(l_dir, l_fil);
-- Check if the file exists
l_ret := DBMS_LOB.FILEEXISTS(l_loc) = 1;
IF (l_ret) THEN
dbms_output.put_line('File ' || l_fil || ' in Directory ' || l_dir ||
' exists');
-- Open the file in READ_ONLY mode
DBMS_LOB.OPEN(l_loc, DBMS_LOB.LOB_READONLY);
LOOP
-- Calculate the end of the current word
l_end := DBMS_LOB.INSTR(l_loc, l_sen, l_pos, 1);
-- Process end-of-file
IF (l_end = 0) THEN
EXIT;
END IF;
-- Read until end-of-file
l_sum := l_end - l_pos;
DBMS_LOB.READ(l_loc, l_sum, l_pos, l_buf);
dbms_output.put_line(UTL_RAW.CAST_TO_VARCHAR2(l_buf));
l_pos := l_pos + l_sum + 1;
END LOOP;
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_loc);
ELSE
dbms_output.put_line('File ' || l_fil || ' in Directory ' || l_dir ||
' does not exist');
END IF;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
dbms_output.put_line('Error:' || SQLERRM);
DBMS_LOB.CLOSE(l_loc);
END;
Now its working fine with one addtional line...
The file content is...
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
But The output was...
File testfile.txt in Directory READ_LOB_DIR exists
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
This is My Content
here, i want to delete that additonal line...?

Clearing text file content?
