Delimiter character in Java

Can someone please tell me what is the most common and best delimiter character (or string)(except "\n", "\t", " ", etc. )used in Java?? Thank you.

Probably because no-one has a clue what you want to know.

Common delimiter character in Java

Can someone please tell me what is the most common delimiter character (except "\n", "\t", " ", etc. )used in Java?? Thank you.

Because it is impossible to answer in any meaningful way. People use diferent delimters for direcrent things, and its nothing to do with the language as such.
If you asked what is the most commonly used delimeter in text files, its certainly '\n' or '\r\n', depending on which side of the blanket you were born.
Data files written in ascii are often delimited by commas, (the so-called CSV format). If you count all whitespace characters, including space (HEX 20), then clearly this is THE most popular delimeter, as we use it to separate works, in all forms of document.
But none of this is java-related.
I hope this helps. If not, try rephrasing your question. :)

Problem with new-line-character and java.io.LineNumberReader under AIX

Hi folks,
I got the following problem: I wrote a little parser that reads in a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile (and later on safes the data to a 2-dimensional Vector). This logfile was originally generated by an AIX ksh script, however, I copied it on my Windows machine to work with it (for I'm using a Java editor that runs under Win Systems).
For any reason, Windows, and what is worse Java too, seems not to recognize correctly the new-line character (in the API it is written that this should be a newline '\n' or a carriage-return '\r' or one followed by the other) that marks the end of a line in the logfile.
Also, when I'm opening the logfile with the "Notepad"-editor, this special character does not seem to be recognized, every line is inserted right after the other.
On the other side, when I open the logfile with the built-in editor in the CMD-Shell ("Dos-shell"), the newline chars seem to be recognized correctly.
But when start my parser on the AIX-machine the newline does not seem to be recognized correctly again.
I tried to read in the logfile with MS-Excel and safe it as a plain-text, tabulator-separated, line-formatted logfile again, with such files my parser works fine both on the AIX as it does on Windows.
Any ideas? Anybody got over the same problem already?

Under windows, text files' lines are usually delimited by \r\n,
under Unix/Linux/AIX etc. \n
and under Mac \r.
I recommend to use the following editors, which are capable to handle files with Unix and Windows-styled line-delimiters or convert between these types:
Programmer's File Editor (PFE; available on Windows)
The Nirvana Editor (http://www.nedit.org/; available on Unix, MAcOS, Windows)
(BTW good old vim can handle that too. Transferring text files to windows in order to edit them, even using Excel for this purpose means your being a UNIX newbie, (I mean no offense by writing this) so vim is probably beyond your reach for the moment.)
Java normally assumes the platform's line delimiters where it is running, so if you transferred the file from Unix to Windows might be distrurbing.

To display chinese/japanese language Character filename - Java Programming

In Our application supports to upload a file with name in chinese/japanese language Character. When user tries to download filedownload dialog box is appearing with the filename as junk characters.
How to solve this issue to display the filename as uploaded.

Have your tried googling your problem?
I found this article: [http://www.chinesecomputing.com/programming/java.html|http://www.chinesecomputing.com/programming/java.html] That seems promising, but ofcourse I cant tell if it will work on your application without seeing a shred of code.
Im certain there is others that has had the same problem before, and put up their solutions on the net.

Handling Character Entities - Java Mapping Issue

Hi Experts,
    I need to replace the character entities in my input XML. But, the problem is the java mapping I've written isn't replacing the character entities as expected. For example if my input XML contains <NAME>&><XYZ</NAME>, then the ouput is <NAME>&amp:&gt:<0001&lt:/NAME>, whereas it should be <NAME>&amp:&gt:&lt:0001</NAME>.
Note: I've used : instead of ; just to show it properly SDN.
Can any of you share the code for the same if you've used it already?
Thanks a lot in advance.
Regards,
Hussain.

Hi Pooja,
    Thanks for your prompt reply.
Are you trying to use the java mapping just to handle the character entities or your interface itself only has a java mapping?
               - I'm using Java Mapping just to handle the character entities. Say my input XML looks like
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<resultset>
<row>
<ID>&<1</ID>
<MESSAGE><![CDATA[<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?><LGORT>&<0001</LGORT>]]></MESSAGE>
</row>
</resultset>
I need to replace &< in <ID> to &amp:&lt: and similarly for CDATA <LGORT>&amp:&lt:0001</LGORT> before I process it in XI. In my java mapping I read the whole XML as string (line by line as mentioned below) and try to replace the character entities using some logic, which isn't working properly.
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream, "UTF-8"));
for (String lineRead = reader.readLine(); lineRead != null; lineRead = reader.readLine()) {
       buffer.append(lineRead);
I've also checked the thread mentioned by Srinivas. But, StringEscapeUtils.escapeXml() would replace all the character entities like &lt:?XML... , which would result in an invalid xml...
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Hussain.

How to handle user-defined character in java??

Dear all,
i am new to internalization and localization.
i am now porting an application from vb.net to java.
the vb.net version can handle (input/output [to file, screen, database] ...etc) user defined character (charset is big5 + extra characters) transparantly.
what i need to do is update the file EUDC.tte in windows (which seems have native charset codepoint to unicode codepoint info) ..
could anybody tell me how can i achieve the same thing in java??
thank you.

Hi DrClap,
it seems i need to write CharsetProvider, charsetdecoder, charsetencoder...etc...
do you have example / sample for me to follow???? I googled for "java charsetprovider example" and got one as the first hit.
btw, is it possible to replace the default big5 charset implementation with my own one so that the existing code can take advantage of the my own charset classes???You don't want to replace the default, just specify which one to use when needed. Pretty much any operation that involves charsets lets you specify which one to use. If your current code relies on the default, then you should change that.

Escaping the pipe (|) character in java

Hi,
I am trying to run the following command in java
ps -ef -o pid,args | grep init | grep -v grep
The code is
       try {
                Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
                Process pr = rt.exec("ps -ef -o pid,args \\| grep init \\| grep -v grep ");
                BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(pr.getInputStream()));
                String line=null;
                while((line=input.readLine()) != null) {
                    System.out.println(line);
                int exitVal = pr.waitFor();
                System.out.println("Exited with error code "+exitVal);*/
            } catch(Exception e) {
                System.out.println(e.toString());
                e.printStackTrace();
            }I am not able to run this command in Java. And, I guess the problem lies in escaping the pipe symbol. I am not sure how to do that. Can anyone please help me on that?
Thanks,
Juggie

The problem is not escaping; it's that the pipe character is interpreted by the shell. You should be passing that command line to the shell, e.g. "sh ps -ef -o pid,args | grep ..."

Error in reading Latin caron character(Č, č, ď, ě, ň, ř, ť, ů) in Java I18N

Hi,
While reading Czech characters, some of Latin characters with caron (Ex: Č, č, ď, ě, ň, ř, ť, ů), these characters displayed as '?', we tried to fix it through generate Unicode using native2ascii tool in jdk for these characters we can't generate the Unicode properly, please give us a quick solution/references/suggestions.
String czech = "Č, č, ď, ě, ň, ř, ť, ů";
try {
System.out.println("UTF-8 czech: " + new String(czech.getBytes("UTF-8"), "UTF-8"));
System.out.println("UTF-8 ascii: " + new String(asciiCzech.getBytes("8859_1"), "8859_1"));
} catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace();
The generated unicode are: \u02d9\u0163,
Note: We tried the native2ascii for Windows-1252, Cp1252, ISO-8859-1 and ISO-8859-2 encoding methods.
Please give us some solution to read this type of caron characters in Java.

HI TheAvalanche,
I encoded the property file with ISO-8859-2 converter
The original is '+Č+, č, ď, ě, ň, ř, ť, ů'
The generated unicode is '+*\u00c4\u008c*+, \u00c4\u008d, \u00c4\u008f, \u00c4\u009b, \u0139\u0088, \u0139\u0099, \u0139\u013d, \u0139\u017b'
On looking the unicoded file for each single character the native to ascii generate two Unicode (highlighted italic).
In the console it prints like this Ä, Ä, Ä, Ä, Ĺ, Ĺ, ĹĽ, ĹŻ.
As mentioned in the pervious reply I set the java file encoding type to the ISO-8859-2 using Eclipse-> selected java file property-> Text file encoding.
I used the following command to generate the Unicode file,
native2ascii.exe -encoding ISO-8859-2 czech.properties cs_CZ.properties
Let me know if I did any mistake on the natvie2ascii.exe
I printed the encoded string as follows
final String ascii =
"\u00c4\u008c, \u00c4\u008d, \u00c4\u008f, \u00c4\u009b, \u0139\u0088, \u0139\u0099, \u0139\u013d, \u0139\u017b";
System.out.println(new String(ascii.getBytes("ISO-8859-2"),
"ISO-8859-2"));
final OutputStreamWriter outStreamWriter =
new OutputStreamWriter(System.out, "ISO-8859-2");
final PrintWriter writer = new PrintWriter(outStreamWriter, true);
writer.println(ascii);
writer.flush();
writer.close();
Thanks in advance.

Help on processing french character with java String class

hi all
i have a question about processing french character. i have a file that contains french characters such as �, when it is read in and assigned to a string variable, it becomes ╩, how can i preserver the french characters? thanks

The following interfaces exist in the above
- The database
- Reading the data from the database
- Writing the data using println.
- Reading data from a file.
You need to identifier exactly what data exists
at each interface.the data in xml contains french characters. and i need to store it in the sql server. somehow when it was read in, it was changed to something else.
Internally java keeps characters in unicode so you can
definitely get that character into unicode. However
just because it is in java does not mean that
println() is going to display it. Because when
println() runs it converts the unicode into a
character set (which is determined by the computer,
OS, and other factors.)
So the first step is to determine the numeric value of
the character in all of the interfaces above. For
example it doesn't matter what you do in java if the
character in the database is not what you think it is.
Or if the driver converts it when it gets read.
are u saying that i need to get the numeric value of the character first? how would i save it in the DB?

How to print Chinese character in java

Hi All,
I have a problem .
I am trying to read a file which contains chinese characters and the print the content of this file to the printer.
But when the content of the file is being printed, it is printing weird characters and not chinese characters. Can anyone please help.
Plese find below, my code.
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import java.io.BufferedInputStream;
class FileRead{
//--------------------------------------------------< main >--------//
public static void main (String[] args) {
FileRead t = new FileRead();
t.readMyFile();
//--------------------------------------------< readMyFile >--------//
void readMyFile() {
String record = null;
int recCount = 0;
try {
FileReader fr = new FileReader("amaebisushi.GB.TXT");
FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream("\\\\ps_apex_1\\ps_lpt1");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
PrintStream ps2 = new PrintStream(os);
record = new String();
while ((record = br.readLine()) != null) {
recCount++;
System.out.println(recCount + ": " + record);
ps2.println(recCount + ": " + record);
} catch (IOException e) {
// catch possible io errors from readLine()
System.out.println("Uh oh, got an IOException error!");
e.printStackTrace();
} // end of readMyFile()
} // end of class

Try not to rely upon the default encoding, but define it explicitly.

Cannot render special HTML character with Java

I'm pretty sure this is a general Swing issue, please don't ignore this because I reference JavaHelp. When using JavaHelp and French as the displayed language, I'm having problems displaying the  character (HTML entity &# 156;). Below I've included a sample HTML file, based on what my actual files looks like, which should demonstrate the problem. If I use a browser, or even Notepad, to open this file, the character displays just fine. However, in my JavaHelp popup (which uses Swings HTML renderer under the covers if I am not mistaken), all I get is a box. I've tried using the actual character and the HTML entity, but to no avail. Comments/suggestions/pointers would be greatly welcome!
<html>
    <head>
        <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset=iso-8859-1">
        <style>
            li {padding-bottom: 6px; padding-top: 6px;}
            body {font-family: Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; } td {font-size: smaller;}
        </style>
    </head>
    <body alink="#ff0000" bgcolor="#ffffff" link="#0000ff" text="#000000" vlink="#800080">
        
    </body>
</html>Thanks,
Jamie

all I get is a boxSo JavaHelp is rendering it as a single character and not as the six characters &, #, 1, 5, 6, and semicolon. So far, so good. But it appears that the font JavaHelp is using is unable to render that character correctly, so you get a box.
Can you control the fonts that JavaHelp uses? If so, try using a font that can render the  character.

How can I decode Japanese character using java from JavaScript escape() function

Hi:
I have an application which supports Japanese character. I am using JavaScript escape() function to encode the text field before I posted it through web server and then I will just convert it into hex number to decode it through an Integer. It works fine for the character between ascii 1-255. However, it faild on all the double bytes character. All the unicode has the format of "%uXXXX" after it is escaped from JavaScript. How can I resolve the decoding problem?
Thank,
David

Please use 'encodeURI()', though it is supported only IE after 5.5.
I'm not sure Netscape.
Thanks,
Katsumi

How to handle Multibyte character in Java urgent requirement

Hi Friends,
I'm fetching the data from the database(MS SQL Server 2000) and writing into the file.
This is the snippet of the code i'm using to write into the file.
File outputFile = new File("C:\\Temp\\SAMPLE.txt");
BufferedWriter fileWriter = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(outputFile));
//Fetching the values from database
while (rs.next())
//colData contains the value from the database which will go into the file
String colData = rs.getString(fieldNames);
fileWriter.write(colData);
The problem is when I'm writing a multibyte� �� character is converting into double quotes,
i.e. M?�L INC. is written as M?"L INC.
I need to know how can I write the same value what I'm fetching from the database( irespective it is singlebyte or multibyte characters ).
Thanks in advance.
Kind Reards,
Pallavi

Hi,
I changed the default encoding, Windows1252 to UTF-16 using OutputStreamWriter class and it worked out!
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("C:\\abc.txt")), "UTF-16");
Thanks for the suggestions. :)

Limit character count/Java in form elements

This is probably a really simple question! I have the new CS6 InDesign and I'm creating a form. When I create a text field, I want to be able to limit the number of
characters in that field. For instance, if I create a "State" field (as in what state a city is in) and would like to limit the amount of characters to 3.
Is this possible?
Also, is it possible to insert java commands into an indesign doc? I'm very new at it but if its not possible, I won't bother looking!
Thanks

When a new feature is introduced (as the form feature was in InDesign CS6), it's virtually impossible to include all possible features. There is only a limited amount of engineering time, and it has to be spread over many different features and tasks. In fact, in the CS6 timeframe, while that feature was added, a tremendous amount of engineering time had to be spent entirely re-writing InDesign to use the Apple "Cocoa" technology (a requirement to continue to run on future Macintosh computers), and to move to a 64-bit technology.
If you'd like to request additional form features, put in your request here. Be sure to make a good case for why that is a particularly important feature:
Adobe - Feature Request/Bug Report Form
The fact is no application can do all things. That's why most people buy the Adobe Creative Cloud subscription, or Creative Suite 6. Many features can be best done using other applications.

Delimited Character for NewLine

Hi....
I am using InDesign CS3. I got a problem when placing a "\n" in the text value in an attribute. When I open to edit the text in an attribute through double clicking the attribute, the text box inside the edit windows doesn't show me the new line.
If I copy the text from the textbox to a notepad, it can slow me the new line. I think the problem is the textbox doesn't recognise the "\n" as a new line.
Because of all content will be output as XML and other system will use this XML too. Is there any method to let the InDesign know "\n" is a new line?
Thanks
Chris

A random test: pressing Ctrl+Enter (on a Windows machine) inserts a visible return in the input dialog. What ends up in the XML? Well, let's see:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<Root><Tag1>Sed ut <Tag2
attr="a newline
character?">dolores</Tag2> eos qui ratione voluptatem sequi nesciunt.</Tag1></Root>
I suppose your program that processes the XML has to do the proper recognizing of ampersand-escaped codes in attributes.
