Converting text String to XML file data

need some guidance. I have to create a XML file of a huge Text File.
I am parsing the text file according to relevance and passing a set of data each element and attribute seperated by "_".
I need to create to Xml file out this. It has to be current process as I need to keep on adding new elements and attributes.
e.g.
Passing this string
String temp("Name_Age_Birthdate_Birthplace_Place_teleNumber");
Need to add this to XML of format
<Directory>
<Person>
<Name>
<Age>
<Birthdate>.....
</Person>
<Person>
</Person>
</Directory>
The problem not all attributes may be present at some time..
e.g.
the person's age may be absent some times.. during that time the xml file should look like <Age/>
I will need to keep on updating Person list concurrently after the file has been created..
Need Urgent guidance.. I am still New to java
A guidance code or link is awaited..
Thanks.. a Lot

Do you need to stick to the XML support that comes with Java 1.4 or can you use Third-Party stuff? I'm asking, 'cause I think JDOM is much easier to use for a newbie than the build-in XML API ... and it comes with a VERY easy to use class XMLOutputter that creates XML files!
Take a look at JDOM:

Convert xml string into xml file?

Hi,
I got a method that returns an JDom Element object.
Then I use the JDOM Element toString method() to change it into xml string.
Now, I need to convert it into actual xml file.
How to I do it?
Thanks.

Hi,
If you got an xml string, just write it to an ordinary file. Look at FileWriter.

How to convert xml String to xml file?

Hi,
I got a method that do the following:
public static String convertXmlToString(String xmlFileName) throws Exception
        File file = new File(xmlFileName);
        FileInputStream insr = new FileInputStream(file);
        byte[] fileBuffer = new byte[(int)file.length()];
        insr.read(fileBuffer);
        insr.close();
        return new String(fileBuffer);
     }The return String is the contents of an existing xml file and one example is shown below:
<object type="server.WOXReference" id="0"><field name="actualPathObj"><object type="java.lang.String" id="1">C:\restClient\actualXMLObjects\812856084.xml</object></field><field name="object"><object type="server.WOXConstructor" id="2"><field name="className"><object type="java.lang.String" id="3">rec.SimpleRecognizer</object></field><field name="types"><array type="java.lang.String" length="3" id="4"><object type="java.lang.String" id="5">double[].class</object><object type="java.lang.String" id="6">double.class</object><object idref="6" /></array></field><field name="args"><array type="java.lang.Object" length="3" id="7"><array type="double" length="5" id="8">22.33 33.22 33.33 22.0 11.0</array><object type="java.lang.Double" id="9">2.2</object><object type="java.lang.Double" id="10">3.3</object></array></field><field name="retType"><object type="java.lang.String" id="11">act</object></field></object></field></object>
and I want to change the above string to xml file like below:
<object type="server.WOXReference" id="0"><field name="actualPathObj"><object type="java.lang.String" id="1">C:\restClient\actualXMLObjects\812856084.xml</object></field><field name="object"><object type="server.WOXConstructor" id="2"><field name="className"><object type="java.lang.String" id="3">rec.SimpleRecognizer</object></field><field name="types"><array type="java.lang.String" length="3" id="4"><object type="java.lang.String" id="5">double[].class</object><object type="java.lang.String" id="6">double.class</object><object idref="6" /></array></field><field name="args"><array type="java.lang.Object" length="3" id="7"><array type="double" length="5" id="8">22.33 33.22 33.33 22.0 11.0</array><object type="java.lang.Double" id="9">2.2</object><object type="java.lang.Double" id="10">3.3</object></array></field><field name="retType"><object type="java.lang.String" id="11">act</object></field></object></field></object>How to I change the above xml String back to xml file again? The appropriate tags must be taken care of like > must be > and < must be <.
Please advice and can give me some sample code.
Thanks.

By writing some code that runs through the file and adds a new line for a new element using these methods here...

Conversion of xml string to xml file

To convert xml string to xml file in java i used
Document XMLDoc=DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance().newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader("<root><main>Title</main></root&g t;")));
But it is showing an error as InputSource cannot be resolved
How to rectify this

I assume you mean there is a compiler error? (It helps if you explain your problem instead of just giving a vague description of it.) It sounds like you have to import InputSource. You do know about the import statements that go at the beginning of a Java class, don't you?

Adapter Module to convert text message to XML

Hello Experts,
I am writing a custom adapter module to convert the text content to XML message at the sender adapter end.
I have followed the steps mentioned in the "HowToCreateModulesforJ2EEAdapterEngine" guide available on SDN.
I have created the java logic in the process mesthod of the bean to conver the text message to XML paylod (don't know if it is correct). I do not have much idea about the Adpater API methods.
Can anybody help me with the logic to convert the text msg to xml paylod using adapter frame work APIs or is there any way I can debug and test my logic in NWDS.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
- Rajan

Hi ,
To convert Text message to XML why yiu want to go for Adapter Module?? Using file content conversion it self you can do it right?????
There is no standard logic to convert text file to XML, the logic purely depends on your text message format.

Raj

Importing Arabic text from an XML file

Importing text from an XML file to appear as text in Flash
works in English, however if the text I want to import is in
Arabic, when I test the movie there is no text at all.
Is there some particular syntax to preface the Arabic text?
I'll want to import text from XML in other languages too.
(French)
I'd cut and pasted some Arabic text into the XML file that
displays pictures and text in the "slideshow.fla" (
http://www.adobe.com/support/flash/applications/jpeg_slideshow_xml/jpeg_slideshow_xml03.ht ml)
Substituting Arabic text for English text, editing the XML
file with Dreamweaver.
Any ideas as to how I might achieve my objective of importing
Arabic text into Fash?
I'd started developing my prototpe in Macromedia Director 7,
and then Director MX, but I have not found a suitable Arabic font
that I can embed that will allow me to display Arabic fonts in
Adobe Director. I have the Arabic text in a Word document.
I've dicovered that my Flash MX Pro and Dreamweaver both
support Arabic fonts, but I want to import text from an XML file.
I'd prefer using cast libraries and cast members, but I don't
know of an equivalent in Flash to what I'm comfortable with in
Director.

Oh so many questions. You probably aren't going to like the
answers. I have Flash MX04 pro (aka Flash 7) and things made a big
jump between MX (aka 6) and MX04. If you only have MX, there might
not be a way to do this. All my advice is based upon MX04 or
higher.
It is possible to do complex languages in Flash. My
experience is with Hindi and I've helped a few folks here with
Arabic.
You won't be able to use text from Microsoft Word – at
least I don't think so. The XML file will need to be saved in the
UTF-8 format. I think Word uses its own scheme and won't work. But
I'm not a Word expert. Something like Text Edit (Mac) or WordPad
(PC) should be able to save a UTF-8 file.
The next problem is you mention "suitable Arabic font that I
can embed." AFAIK, you can't embed any of the complex scripts in
Flash. You just have to rely on the end user having appropriate
fonts installed and enabled. Most operating systems from 2000 on do
have this – although some folks like to remove them to save
space.
Next issue will be line composing. I've found that when using
anything above the normal Latin range that Flash suddenly forgets
how to make a line fit into a text area. It will just break things
in the middle of words and not even notice the spaces between
words. I've written a little snippet of code that "composes" the
lines. It works well with Hindi and folks here have used it with
Arabic and not come back saying that it doesn't work. Search the
forums (both the Flash and Actionscript) if you can't find it I'll
dig it out when I get home.
So here is the checklist:
Make sure the XML is saved in UTF-8
Import the XML file
In Testing environment go Debug–>List variables.
Does it show up correctly there?
Does it show at all in a text field?
Use the "composer" to make the lines break.

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back

Hello i need a help about script to export translatable text strings from ai files and import them back after editing, thanks in advance

Lanny -
Thank you for taking the time to help with this problem. Can I just say however that as someone who has posted a first comment here and quite clearly never used a forum like this before, your comment unfortunately comes across as very excluding. It makes me feel there are a set of unwritten rules that I should know, and that I don't know them shows that the forum is not for me. In short, it's exactly the kind of response that stops people like me using forums like this.
I'm sure it's not intended to be received like this and I am sure that the way you have responded is quite normal in the rules of a forum like this. However, it is not normal for those of us who aren't familiar with forums and who only encounter them when they have a genuine problem. This is why I hope it is helpful to respond in full.
The reason I posted here is as follows. I was directed here by the apple support website. The original comment seemed to be the only one I could find which referred to my issue. As there is no obvious guidance on how to post on a forum like this it seemed perfectly reasonable to try and join in a conversation which might solve more than one problem at once.
Bee's reply however is both helpful and warm. This could in fact be a template for how new members should be welcomed and inducted into the rules of the forum in a friendly and inclusive way. Thank you very much indeed Bee!

Convert text string file to object array without outputting to file first?

I have a log file that is just a text string file which is appended to with Out-File. If the log file does not exist I pipe headers to it so that I can import the data as CSV. For example:
DATA.LOG
DATE,TIME,RESPONSE_TIME
05-28-2014, 14:47, 132
05-28-2014, 14:50, 94
05-28-2014, 14:53, 72
I'm using Microsoft Chart Controls to graph the data; it takes it in via CSV format. If I'm going to chart all the entries in DATA.LOG I can simply IMPORT-CSV DATA.LOG. But I only want to graph the 20 most recent entries.
Perhaps there is a better way to do this, but to maintain the header and get the 20 most recent entries I'm using select.
$DATA+=Get-Content .\data.log | select -first 1
$DATA+=Get-Content .\data.log | select -last 20
The problem is $DATA is of type system string so I can't use it directly with Chart Controls; I need to get it in CSV format first. I can Out-File $DATA and then use IMPORT-CSV. But I'd prefer to not have to use
the temporary file. Any suggestions on how I can accomplish this objective?

Import-CSV creates an object with the 'header' becoming the named values in the array. The code I posted does the same thing as your 4 lines of code in one line of code:
Much more quickly:
PS C:\temp> (1..1000 | measure-command {import-csv .\data.log | select -last 2}).totalseconds
0.4792951
PS C:\temp> (1..1000 | measure-command {$DATATMP=@();$DATATMP+=Get-Content .\data.log | select -first 1;$DATATMP+=Get-Content .\data.log | select -last 2;ConvertFrom-CSV $DATATMP}).totalseconds
1.6227726
You're more than welcome to use whatever code you want, but if you want to improve your Powershell knowledge you should try to understand the object model around which Powershell is built, it is powerful and efficient.
I hope this post has helped!

Error in converting String to XML file

Hi
Please see the code below, basically i want to convert the String
i am having error when parsing xmlFile1, since the xml has some German characters like �
How do i work around it or what is the best way to do it
import javax.xml.parsers.*;
import org.w3c.dom.*;
import java.io.*;
public class TestXMLFile
     public TestXMLFile() throws Exception
          DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
        factory.setValidating(false);
          StringBuffer xmlFile = new StringBuffer();
          xmlFile.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
          xmlFile.append("<ITEMSPECIALNOTES><SPECIALNOTE>unvernderter Nachdruck</SPECIALNOTE></ITEMSPECIALNOTES>");
          ByteArrayInputStream byteArray = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlFile.toString().getBytes());
        Document doc = factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(byteArray);
          System.out.println ("String parsed in XML ");
          StringBuffer xmlFile1 = new StringBuffer();
          xmlFile1.append("<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>");
          xmlFile1.append("<ITEMSPECIALNOTES><SPECIALNOTE>unver�nderter Nachdruck</SPECIALNOTE></ITEMSPECIALNOTES>");
          ByteArrayInputStream byteArray1 = new ByteArrayInputStream(xmlFile1.toString().getBytes());

          System.out.println ("String1 parsed in XML ");
     public static void main(String args[])throws Exception
         new TestXMLFile();
}

Don't convert to bytes using your system's default encoding but tell the parser that the bytes are encoded in UTF-8.
In fact since you already have chars, don't convert to bytes and make the parser convert back to chars at all. Do this:String string = xmlFile.toString();
Document doc =
   factory.newDocumentBuilder().parse(new InputSource(new StringReader(string)));

Upload XML file data into internal table

Hi,
I need help from you.
I am uploading XML file from Application server.
1.In application server under directory it may have several XML files and i need to upload all the XML files when we gave only directory name. So, what is the function module for that logic . If possible code also.
2.Once we get the files into some internal table we need to upload data from that files to internal table.
So what is the logic for that , if possible code also.
I am giving sample directory:
For example in this directory assume 3 xml files are there.
I need to upload those files and data from that in to internal table.
Thanks & Regards
