File Bytes to String
I'm trying to decode a file, when i use this codepublic void returnFile(String filename) throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
// A FileInputStream is for bytes
FileInputStream fis = null;
try {
fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
byte[] buf = new byte[4 * 1024]; // 4K buffer
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = fis.read(buf)) != -1) {
out.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
finally {
if (fis != null) fis.close();
}with the result beeing printed directly,
but in an other case i don't have access to the out variable, so i want to return a string from a function, so i have thispublic static String returnFile2(String filename)
throws FileNotFoundException, IOException {
// A FileInputStream is for bytes
FileInputStream fis = null;
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
try {
fis = new FileInputStream("C:/eclipse/workspace/rbtTranform/WebContent/images/15x15/V.gif");
byte[] buf = new byte[4 * 1024]; // 4K buffer
int bytesRead;
while ((bytesRead = fis.read(buf)) != -1) {
buffer.append(new String(buf).trim());
finally {
if (fis != null) fis.close();
return buffer.toString();
}The problem is that in this second funcion, i return the file contents as a String, they are not like in the first function, and i can't "re-encode" the data back to original file (as i can with the first function)
Can anyone help me?
I want to make a MultiPart Response, i am using this in a XSLT file that call a function that is supposed to take a file and return its contents as a String (the second method i posted)
I can't use the first one, because from the XSLT i can't send the out parameter, so that i could write on it
That's also why i can't handle and image as an image
It's a bit confusing i know
But if you could gimme a hint...

Converting a text file into a String
I need to convert a text file (in whatever format, in my case it would be xml and xsl files) in a String.
I made this methods:
public static String createStringFromFile(File f) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();
try {
FileInputStream fInp = new FileInputStream(f);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fInp.available()];
int bLetti = fInp.read(byteArray);
if (bLetti == fInp.available()) {
for (int i=0; i<fInp.available(); i++)
buf.append(Byte.toString(byteArray));
else
throw (new IOException("Errore nella lettura del file"));
fInp.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
ErrorManager.getError(e);
return (buf.toString());
public static String createStringFromFile(String fileName) {
StringBuffer buf = new StringBuffer();

FileInputStream fInp = new FileInputStream(fileName);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[fInp.available()];
int bLetti = fInp.read(byteArray);

buf.append(Byte.toString(byteArray[i]));
else
throw (new IOException("Errore nella lettura del file"));
fInp.close();
} catch (Exception e) {
ErrorManager.getError(e);
return (buf.toString());
There are no compilation or runtime errors, but the result string is empty. Not null, empty. What should I do? :)Do you really want to use bytes and so on when java does it all for you?
Here's how I did it, hope it's useful.
public String getFileAsString(String fileName){
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer();
try{
BufferedReader bRead = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
String str = "";
while( (str = bRead.readLine()) != null ){

}//end while
bRead.close();
}catch(Exception e){

How to read a text file into a String?
and also write a text file from a String. I searched the forum and found this folowing code:
// Read and append... by Example
try{
String fileName = "text.txt"; // Filename
// Make the inputfile object
FileInputStream fi = new FileInputStream(fileName);
byte inData[] = new byte[fi.available()];
fi.read(inData); // Read
fi.close(); // Close
String text = new String(inData); // Make a textstring...
// Now, do whatever you want with the data... and append...
String textToAppend = "kjkjhjhKJ";
byte outData[] = textToAppend.getBytes();
// Make the outputfile (whith the 'append' boolean set to true
FileOutputStream fo = new FileOutputStream(fileName,true);
fo.write(outData);
fo.close();
}catch(Exception oops){}but it returns funny characters to the String from the text file and vice versa in writting the text file. Can anybody please help? Thank you.

Encoded double byte characters string conversion
I have double byte encoded strings stored in a properties file. A sample of such string below (I think it is japanese):
\u30fc\u30af\u306e\u30a2
I am supposed to read it from file, convert it to actual string and use them on UI. I am not able to figure how to do the conversion -- the string contains text as is, char backslash, char u, and so on. How to convert it to correct text (either using ai::UnicodeString or otherwise)?
Thanks.Where did this file come from? Some kind of Java or Ruby export? I don't think AI has anything in its SDK that would natively read that. You could just parse the string, looking for \u[4 characters]. I believe if you created a QChar and initialized it with the integer value of the four-character hex string, it would properly create the character.

Reading & writing to file using ArrayList String incorrectly (2)
I have been able to store two strings (M44110|T33010, M92603|T10350) using ArrayList<String>, which represent the result of some patient tests. Nevertheless, the order of these results have been stored correctly.
E.g. currently stored in file Snomed-Codes as -
[M44110|T33010, M92603|T10350][M44110|T33010, M92603|T10350]

}Here you have some kind of a list or something (I couldn't stand to read all that unformatted code but I suppose you can find out). It has an iterator which gives you the entries of the list one at a time. You keep asking if it has more entries -- which it does -- but you never get those entries by calling the next() method, so it always has all the entries still available.
And your code inside the loop is independent of the iterator, so it's rather pointless to iterate over the entries and output exactly the same data for each entry. Even if you were iterating correctly. -
[CS3 JS] Reading TXT file content into String
Hello,
I'm currently wanting to display a dialog box that has a dropdown menu containing all countries of the world.
I have an external txt file that contains a list of all countries.
I thought I would simply read-in the contents of the 'txt' file into a string and use it for displaying the list.
For example
i Instead of the usual:
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:["A", "B"...], selectedIndex:0});
i I thought of doing something like:
> var myLandList = ....? HELP ?....
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:myLandList, selectedIndex:0});
Is this the way to do it?
What would be the way to read in the text file content as a string?
Thanks in advance,
Lee> var myLandList = ....? HELP ?....
> var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add({stringList:myLandList, selectedIndex:0});
It's hard to tell from context, but myLandList needs to be an array of strings.
If the file has one element per line, this would be one way of handling the
conversion:
var file = File("~/countries.txt");
file.open("r");
var str = file.read();
file.close();
var myLandList = str.split(/[\r\n]+/);
And assuming that this is ScriptUI and not the older ID UI, the menu creation
would look more like:
var myLandMenu = dropdowns.add(bounds, myLandList);
myLandMenu.items[0].selected = true;

How to store content of file in a string
Hi All :) ,
i wanted to store all the content of a file say HTML file in a String ,please tell me how should i do that so that all the content from <HTML> to </HTML> copied to the string ..thanks :)ashish.escape wrote:
Is this a right way ?It's not a good way, but I think that it will almost work. To make it work, try using a BufferedReader instead of a DataInputStream (which is deprecated for reading lines), like this:
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader( new InputStreamReader( fis ) );
while( (thisLine = reader.readLine() ) != null )
...Don't forget to close the reader after you're done.
There are quite a few things "not good" about this code:
* The exception handling is horrid - you may very well be hiding the real problem - try getting rid of the try/catch and simply declare your main method as 'public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception' - that will exit the application and print the full exception and stack trace to the console. I would make this change and run the application again before doing anything else.
* Use a StringBuffer to append to, concatenating Strings is very slow.
* It's not apparent why you even need to read a line at a time - it looks like you could just read the file into a buffer and append that to the StringBuffer without needing to worry about parsing it a line at a time, unless there is some processing that you're doing on each line that is not shown in this code snippet.

Based on your code, I see your code related to
iTextSharp Pdf.
iText is a third party library to create PDF originally written for java. iTextSharp is
the C# adaptation of that library.
Question regarding iText are better asked on the iText forum, rather than the Microsoft Forum:

Byte to String conversion for encryption and decryption
Hi Friends ,
I am trying to encrypt a password string and then decrypt it .
The thing is i need to convert the encrypted String which is a byte array to a string . While decrypting i need to convert the encrypted string to a Byte .
I tried using String.getBytes() for converting a string to byte array , but this is giving an exception
javax.crypto.IllegalBlockSizeException: Input length must be multiple of 8 when decrypting with padded cipherPlease find below my code
import java.security.Key;
import javax.crypto.Cipher;
import javax.crypto.KeyGenerator;
import sun.misc.BASE64Encoder;
import sun.misc.BASE64Decoder;
* @author rajeshreddy
public class Encrypt
public static void main(String[] args)
try
BASE64Encoder en = new BASE64Encoder();
BASE64Decoder en1 = new BASE64Decoder();
String password = "S_@!et";
KeyGenerator kg = KeyGenerator.getInstance("DESede");
Key key = kg.generateKey();
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede");
cipher.init(Cipher.ENCRYPT_MODE, key);
// Encrypt password
byte[] encrypted = cipher.doFinal(password.getBytes());
String e = new String(encrypted);
byte[] toDecrypt = e.getBytes();
// Create decryption cipher
cipher.init(Cipher.DECRYPT_MODE, key);
byte[] decrypted = cipher.doFinal(toDecrypt);
// Convert byte[] to String
String decryptedString = new String(decrypted);
System.out.println("password: " + password);
System.out.println("encrypted: " + encrypted);
System.out.println("decrypted: " + decryptedString);
} catch (Exception ex)
ex.printStackTrace();
}I cab use sun.misc.BASE64Decoder and sun.misc.BASE64Encoder which avoids this error, but this packages are sun proprietery packages so there is a chance of removing these in future releases.
Please suggest me the best way to tackle this1) The "Jakarta Commons Codec" project has Base64 and Hex encoders that are well tested and well regarded. Google is your friend.
2) Since this is a new project, you should use AES rather than DESede.
3) The defaults when generating the Cipher object using
Cipher cipher = Cipher.getInstance("DESede");
is for ECB block mode with PKCS5 padding. ECB is not a good block mode since it allows some limited forgery though splicing of ciphertext. Use one of the feedback modes such as CBC.
4) Why are you encrypting passwords rather than just hashing them? While there are situations where encryption rather than hashing is required, it is not the norm and does normally require justification.
5) Converting encrypted or hashed data to a String is not normally required. What are you doing with that requires this?
