Bernd,
I don't know about a way to do this, My suggestion is to use a
temporary file for this, and then delete the original by
replacing it with the temporary

Reading one line from a text file into an array

i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
     InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
     BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);
     String line = "";
     try{
     int i = 0;
          while (line != null){
               names[i] = reader.readLine();
               score[i] = reader.readLine();
               line = reader.readLine();
               i++;
          }catch (IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in file access");
this section calls it:
try{
     FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("ISU.txt");
          HighScore.readAndProcessData(stream);
          stream.close();
          names = HighScore.getNames();
          scores = HighScore.getScores();
     }catch(IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in accessing file." + e.toString());
it gives me an array index out of bounds error

oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

Help! Extra one line space in text file???

halo, i am doing a program to download a created text file into pc... the download program is just retrieve records from database and write it into a text file... then i will pass that created text file name to another program, then it will prompt out the window message dialog box to allow user to save or to open the text file....
now i want to know what will cause one extra line at the top of the downloaded text file??
Here is my coding, assume the file name is file1...
response.setContentType("text");
response.setHeader("Content-Disposition","attachment;filename=" + file2);
int Read1;                              FileInputStream stream1 = null;                    try {                                   File f = new File("c:/mysql/data/mrs/download/" + file2);

     }//end if</p>
     }//end finally</p>

go
/*** Ends here **********/
And the output file would be
Select * From Employee;
go
select * From DevMembers;
go
can Anyone Help me in this regards,
Akram Kannan

BufferedReader should probably wrap the FileReader if you will be reading line-by-line. Same with the Writer.
And a simple -
if ( "/*".equals(record.substring(0,1) ) ... should handle the comment locations bit.

Some tips:
1) If you are adding or deleting stuff from a text file you need to write a new, modified file and then, optionally, do something like:
rename the old file to whatever.bak or the like.
rename the new file to the old.
2) Don't depend on System.out so much on a GUI application. For example if you get an exception use javax.swing.JOptionPane to display an alert (and show the message from the exception). You can write the stack trace to System.out if you want.
3) Don't muck about with calculating bounds for screen objects, let a layout manager sort it out. I like BoxLayoutManager for most things like this.
4) For bonus points do your IO in a separate Thread. Generally you don't want anything happening in an actionPerformed method which significantly delays it's return. The method should launch a new Thread to do the job, and disable the button until the Thread finishes.

Deleting one row from a table view

hi i have one tableview model. At the footer of this tableview there are 2 buttons add and delete. I want that when I press the delete button one row must be deleted. I have written one ondel event.I have to implement the logic inside that.Can anyone help me with the logic?

Hey Sumana,
Check the row of the table view u want to delete.Iterate through all the rows from the top of the Table View and copy it into another new array.While doing so, check whether the row is selected or not.If it is not selected,
then copy the content into the new array and if it selected,skip that particular row and start copying from the next row.proceed till the end of the TableView.At the end initialize this new array to the model of the Table View.u have a Table View with the specified row deleted now.

Deleting a column in a text file using LabVIEW

Hello all,
I'm trying to delete the first column of my tab delimited text file using LabVIEW and then save it under the same file name. Can someone show me a quick way to perform this operation. Is this even possible with LabVIEW? Any help would be much appreciated.
My purpose is to automate this operation for hundreds of daily text files containing data that needs processing. I'm currently using LabVIEW 8.2.
Thanks!

If the file is relatively small:
Read the file using the Read from Spreadsheet File VI to get 2D array.
Remove the column from the 2D array.
Write out new 2D array to new file using Write to Spreadsheet File VI.
If the file is relatively large then you will likely run into memory issues. In this case you will need to read the file in chunks. You can decide how many lines to read at a time. Use a for-loop that's set to run for the number of chunks to read (based on the total number of lines and the number of lines you want to read at a time). Hint: Quotient & Remainder function. In the loop use the Read Text File VI to read your set number of lines. Convert the lines to a 2D array delete your column, and write out that chunk of data to the new file. Rinse and repeat.

Search for a word and return all the lines (row) from the text file..

Hi all,
I need a help on how to search a string from the text file and returns all the lines (rows) where the searched string are found. I have included the code, it finds the indexof the string but it does not return the entire line. I would appreciate your any help.
public class SearchWord
     public static void main(String[] args){
     //Search String
     String searchText = "man";
     //File to search (in same directory as .class file)
     String fileName = "C:\\Workspace\\MyFile.txt";
     //StringBuilder allows to create a string by concatinating
     //multiple strings efficiently.
     StringBuilder sb =
     new StringBuilder();
     try {
     //Create the buffered input stream, which reads
     //from a file input stream
     BufferedInputStream bIn =
     new BufferedInputStream(
     new FileInputStream(fileName));
     //Holds the position of the last byte we have read
     int pos = 0;
     //Holds #of available bytes in our stream
     //(which is the file)
     int avl = bIn.available();
     //Read as long as we have something
     while ( avl != 0 ) {
     //Holds the bytes which we read
     byte[] buffer = new byte[avl];
     //Read from the file to the buffer
     // starting from <pos>, <avl> bytes.
     bIn.read(buffer, pos, avl);
     //Update the last read byte position
     pos += avl;
     //Create a new string from byte[] we read
     String strTemp =
     new String(buffer);
     //Append the string to the string builder
     sb.append(strTemp);
     //Get the next available set of bytes
     avl = bIn.available();
     catch(IOException ex) {
     ex.printStackTrace();
     //Get the concatinated string from string builder
     String fileText = sb.toString();
     int indexVal = fileText.indexOf(searchText);
     //Displays the index location in the file for a given text.
     // -1 if not found
     if (indexVal == -1)
          System.out.println("No values found");
     else
          System.out.println("Search for: " + searchText);     }
}

Hi, you can use servlet class and use this method to get the whole line of searched string. You can override the HttpServlet to treat that class as servlet.
public class ReportAction extends HttpServlet {
protected void doPost(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
throws ServletException, IOException {
//write your whole logic.
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("your file name"));
String line = "";
while(line = br.readLine() != null) {
    if(line.contains("your search string")) {
        System.out.println("The whole line, row is :"+line);
}

Can I delete one the 2 exact same files in Finder, without deleting the other one Automatically too?

I have backed up and have removed a User account. since then, I have 1 user account, but all files are duplicate. Instead of having 199GB on my disk, i now have about the double. Ifound some stuff to delete, but there are also apple apps that are double. Can i delete half of them, so that only one copie stays and not both delete?
Thanks for helping out.

no obviously not. it's not in the trash if you are worried copy the second copy and change the name to something else. then delete both and after deleting both rename the copy the same as the original.

Delete multiple rows from text file

HI,
i have a text file and i want to remove first few rows from that text file not last rows.
how can i do that ?
thanks

because i suspect this is a homework assignment i'm not going to give you the fish, but i will teach you how to fish! =P
go investigate the Java Standard class called: BufferedReader. Look specifically at the method readLine()
combine that with a for loop, and an IF-THEN statement to weed out the lines you don't want (or just govern that with the FOR loop's index), and you should be able to figure it out....
good luck! give it a whirl...
