File.length issues

I've been trying to make a terminal like program, but I've had issues detecting the file size. When I use file.length(), I get wildly different answers than use of the "du" unix command. Is this a bug in java? Mac OS X? Just me being an idiot?
Thank you.

They do different things for different purposes. du reports total disk usage, so it rounds up to the next block size. File.length() reports actual file size in bytes.

File length issue

Hi,
I have a client trying to copy files from his Panther OS machine to our Mac OS X server ( v10.5.3 ). He says that he gets an message that file name too long. Is there a file name length limit in play between these 2 machines?
Thanks

Hi,
Got some further info from user.
He is using Panther OS , and file name is 'Barloworld.indd'.
Trying to copy file to a 'smb' share on our 10.5.3 Mac OS X server.
Message he gets is :
You cannot copy the item 'Barloworld.indd' because the name is too long or includes characters that the disk cannot display.

File renameto issue

I have been tracking this down for a couple of days now and thought I would ask the forum for their input.
I have a very simple process that opens a file, reads in the data, writes some data to a DB, and them moves the file to a processed folder.
SOME of the instances I have running that are performing this process are moving the files into the wrong directory. I am going round and round with this
being an OS issue and/or jvm issue. The oddest thing is that the wrong directory that some of the processes write their files to is always the last
directory created under that particular filesystem.
System:
sun-jdk-1.5.0.06
Linux; SMP; 2.6.12
Process is run via shell script every 10 minutes where a directory is passed to the process, the process then looks in the directory for files,
does what it does, and then renames the file. ex. "LogProcessor /var/log/10.5.1.2/". The process should move the file to the folder /var/log/10.5.1.2/processed,
instead it is moving the file to "/var/log/10.5.1.52/processed". All of the debug code you see below is telling me that everything is what and where it should
be, however, it is not.
Other information: There are about 15 independent processes running started by separate shell scripts and all should be reading and writing to their respective folders.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
CODE:
File dirName = new File(args[0]);
String[] files = dirName.list();
//test if directory actually has something we want
               if (files != null) {
                    // loop through list of files found in directory
          for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++) {
          // Get filename of file or directory
               if(debug)
                    System.err.println("File Extension: " + files.substring(files[i].length() - 3));
               // test last 3 characters for file extension we need
               if (files[i].substring(files[i].length() - 3).equalsIgnoreCase("log") || files[i].substring(files[i].length() - 3).equalsIgnoreCase("alm")) {
          fileName = args[0] + files[i];
               // Call each method respectively passing in all the local objects
               if (alarms) {
                                   logProcessor.alarmsProcessor(fileName, logFile, job, jobActions, errors, debug);
                              } else {
                                   logProcessor.storeLogsProcessor(fileName, logFile, job, jobActions, errors, debug);
               //SLD 11/28/2007: move the file to the processed folder after read
               File file1 = new File(fileName); //this file already existed on the file system
               File file2 = new File(args[0]+"processed/"+files[i]);
                    if (file1.renameTo(file2)) {
                         System.out.println("File "+files[i]+" Moved to processed folder "+ args[0] + "processed" + file2.toString());
                         System.out.println("From: " + file1.toString() + " To: " + file2.toString() );
                    } else {
                         System.out.println("File "+files[i]+" NOT Moved to processed folder "+ args[0] + " due to either permissions, folder nonexistant or file already exists");

Well, just to update the issue. The problem has been solved. There was an entry into the list of IP's that was 10.58.?.??, which in the unix world is a special character/place holder for all
files/folders that resemble it. This was wreaking havoc on my java program when moving files.
Thanks,

Moderator action : added [ code] tags to make the code readable.

String is not a suitable container for binary data so unless the two lines
             compressFile("test.pdf","testpdf.gzip");
             String encodedData = new String(getBytesFromFile(new File("testpdf.gzip")));actually Base64 encode the file content you are probably corrupting your file.
I suspect you should be Base64 encoding the compressed file and modifying the mime-type to reflect this.

Application server file length

Hi,
I am doing outbound proxy, where it si executed successfully and the file was placed in the appropriate location, but the file length is more than 255 characters , so i am unable to look into my whole file structure. My source file and target file structre is different some client related header is present in the target file. When i cheked in the sxmb_moni also my target message is not appearing. I have checked under inbound message flag and receiver grouping flag in both payloads it is showing my source structure. in response flag there is no payload folder. So finally iam unable to look at file whole file structure. Can any body suggest me what to do to look at my whole file structure. Even i try to download the file from application server even then also i am getting only till 255 characters of length. Kindly suggest some solution .

PS CS3, Camera Raw 4.6 Update and Nikon D810 NEF File Reading Issue

Currently Have Photoshop CS3 & Adobe Bridge CS3 2.1.1.9.
According to Adobe, Camera Raw 4.6 supports Nikon D810 NEF files. I have downloaded Camera Raw 4.6 Update. When
I try to open Nikon D810 NEF files, I get Photoshop CS3 error that says
"cannot complete request your because it is not the right kind of
document. These NEF files wont open in Adobe Bridge at all. What am I doing wrong?

Hey,
Before I purchased, let me get your thoughts on another option that just occurred to me which involves:
1)Editing my D810 NEF files in LR 5.6, which I have, then exporting/saving the edited files as JPEGs.
2) Doing any additional editing, as necessary (i.e. that might require layering or selections..etc) , with the JPEGs with Bridge or PS CS3.
This method wont involve any additional software purchase now.. right? Am I missing anything. here? Since my final output to my customers are JPEGs any way, wont this work? Will I be at any disadvantage. Am I missing anything. here?

Duplicate File Handling Issues - Sender File Adapter - SAP PO 7.31 - Single Stack

Hi All,
We have a requirement to avoid processing of duplicate files. Our system is PI 7.31 Enh. Pack 1 SP 23. I tried using the 'Duplicate File Handling' feature in Sender File Adapter but things are not working out as expected. I processed same file again and again and PO is creating successful messages everytime rather than generating alerts/warnings or deactivating the channel.
I went through the link Michal's PI tips: Duplicate handling in file adapter - 7.31 . I have maintained similar setting but unable to get the functionality achieved. Is there anything I am missing or any setting that is required apart from the Duplicate file handling check box and a threshold count??
Any help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Abhishek

Hello Sarvjeet,
I'd to write a UDF in message mapping to identify duplicate files and throw an exception. In my case, I had to compare with the file load directory (source directory) with the archive directory to identify whether the new file is a duplicate or not. I'm not sure if this is the same case with you. See if below helps: (I used parameterized mapping to input the file locations in integration directory rather than hard-coding it in the mapping)
AbstractTrace trace;
    trace = container.getTrace();
    double archiveFileSize = 0;
    double newFileSizeDouble = Double.parseDouble(newFileSize);
    String archiveFile = "";
    String archiveFileTrimmed = "";
    int var2 = 0;
    File directory = new File(directoryName);
    File[] fList = directory.listFiles();
    Arrays.sort(fList, Collections.reverseOrder());
    // Traversing through all the files
    for (File file : fList){
        // If the directory element is a file
        if (file.isFile()){
                        trace.addInfo("Filename: " + file.getName()+ ":: Archive File Time: "+ Long.toString(file.lastModified()));
                        archiveFile = file.getName();
                      archiveFileTrimmed = archiveFile.substring(20);
                      archiveFileSize = file.length();
                        if (archiveFileTrimmed.equals(newFile) && archiveFileSize == newFileSizeDouble ) {
                                var2 = var2 + 1;
                                trace.addInfo("Duplicate File Found."+newFile);
                                if (var2 == 2) {
                                        break;
                        else {
                                continue;
    if (var2 == 2) {
        var2 = 0;
        throw new StreamTransformationException("Duplicate File Found. Processing for the current file is stopped. File: "+newFile+", File Size: "+newFileSize);
return Integer.toString(var2);

File length different for a copied file. Or use checksum

Hi
I am making a backup of a file before doing some writes to the original.
I first check it out of source control, then make a copy using:
public static void backupFile(File f)
try{
File backup = new File(f.getPath()+"_BACKUP");
if (!backup.exists()) {
if (!backup.createNewFile()) {
Logger.getLogger().log("Could not create "+backup.getPath());
SystemTools.copyFile(f,backup);
} catch (Exception e)
Logger.getLogger().log("Error backing up "+f.getPath()+ ": "+e);
public static synchronized void copyFile(File from, File to) throws Exception
if (!from.exists() || !from.isFile())
throw new Exception ("copyFile Error: checking 'from' file!");
if (!to.exists())
if(!to.createNewFile())
throw new Exception ("copyFile Error: creating 'to' file!");
FileInputStream in=new FileInputStream(from);
FileOutputStream out=new FileOutputStream(to);
int length;
byte[] buffer=new byte[256];
while((length=in.read(buffer))!=-1) {
out.write(buffer, 0, length);
in.close();
out.close();
After writing has finished, I need to see if the file is different to the backup..
If so, I need to check it into source control.
I wanted to use a checksum, but couldn't find an example that actually worked!!! Therefore I did a quick tool:
public static boolean isBackupIdenticalToOrig(File f) throws Exception {
File bu = new File(f.getPath()+"_BACKUP");
Logger.getLogger().log("Lengths: New/Backup"+f.length()+"/"+bu.length());
if (bu.length()!=f.length())
return false;
// Have the same lengths, so we can compare!!
BufferedInputStream f_in = null;
BufferedInputStream bu_in= null;
f_in =new BufferedInputStream (new FileInputStream (f));
bu_in =new BufferedInputStream (new FileInputStream (bu));
for (int i=0;i<f.length();i++)
int c = f_in.read();
int d = bu_in.read();
if (c!=d)
Logger.getLogger().log(""+f.getName()+" has been modified");
return false;
Logger.getLogger().log(""+f.getName()+" has not been modified");
return true;
The problem is in that the File.length() method is returning different values for the backup file, than for the original, even if identical!
For example:
10/15/2002 10:22:05: Lengths: New/Backup413/402
10/15/2002 10:22:06: Lengths: New/Backup397/386
10/15/2002 10:22:07: Lengths: New/Backup191/185
All the new files are longer that the backup, but the contents are exactly the same! Is there some WIN32 'extras' in the file that's causing a problem here???
In each of the cases, if I open the new(Longer) file in a good editor, I can see that the lengths are correct. But no extra characters existed in the new file compared to the backup!!
Any ideas would be most appreciated
Cheers
Chris

10 and 13 are CR(carriage return) and LF(linefeed) - this is normal for a Windows file. Use this copy routine; it works.
   // copyFile - input: inFile - path to source file
   //                    outFile - path to copy file to (including filename)
   //                    bRemoveSource - true removes the source files, false leaves them intact
   //             returns: void
   public static void copyFile(String inFile, String outFile,boolean bRemoveSource) throws IOException
      FileInputStream fin     = null;
      FileOutputStream fout   = null;
      boolean bCanWrite       = false;
      boolean bDeleted        = false;
      // To preserve date/time stamp
      File fTimeIn = new File(inFile);
      File fTimeOut = new File(outFile);
      long lTimeIn = fTimeIn.lastModified();
      try
        fin = new FileInputStream(inFile);
        fout = new FileOutputStream(outFile);
        copyStream(fin, fout);
      finally
        try
          if (fin != null) fin.close();
        catch (IOException e) {}
        try
          if (fout != null) fout.close();
        catch (IOException e) {}
      fin.close();
      fout.close();
      // Set out time to in time
      fTimeOut.setLastModified(lTimeIn);
      if (bRemoveSource == true)
         bCanWrite = fTimeIn.canWrite();
         if (bCanWrite) {
            bDeleted = fTimeIn.delete();
   // copyStream (a helper function for copyFile) - input: in - file stream of source file
   //                                                       out - file stream of destination file
   //                                                returns: void
   // *** NOTE: This function is thread safe ***
   public static void copyStream(InputStream in, OutputStream out) throws IOException
      // do not allow other threads to read from the
      // input or write to the output while copying is
      // taking place
      synchronized (in) {
         synchronized (out) {
            byte[] buffer = new byte[256];
            while (true) {
               int bytesRead = in.read(buffer);
               if (bytesRead == -1)
                  break;
               out.write(buffer, 0, bytesRead);
   }

1099 MISC 2011 file length

Hi Experts
This relates to 1099 MISC 2011 file length. We have applied SAP note 1666672 that pertains to 2011 changes.While the form print looks good, when i compared the file with P1220 ( The publication that specifies details on tax filing), i found that P1220 states that length of records should be 750 for the T and B records - however in my case i get only 746 characters
I generated the file in txt and opened with excel and used LEN to count the length of the records
Any suggestions? - Is there a further SAP note that is to be applied or a i missing something on the DMEE side of it.
Further is P1220 the Gospel to compare the correctness with.
Thanks
Swami

HI swami,
note 1666672 was updated 25th, please, review version 4.
Also make sure you have applied the corrections or steps from notes
1635493, 1673257 and and 1649356.

Hy all guys here is big Happy news about the SQL Server 2008 database.mdf file attaching issue on Windows 8.1 and SQL Server 2008
I found the solution like this
first you go to the directory of your computer and go to that folder where your database and other files are like
folder having database and files then > Right click and > security > then give full rights from which user you LOGIN and then apply > ok after that go to SQL Server 2008 > Right Click > run as administrator
Hurray your problem will be resolve I Resolved my issue too thanks to providing every solution
if you guys find solution please give me best regards thanks

How can I check every 5 secs a file Length with Threads?

As a matter of fact the subject is the main question.
I need your HELP! PLEASEE!!

import java.io.*;
public class RFile implements Runnable {
     public static void main(String args[]) throws Throwable {
          RFile rf = new RFile(new File(args[0]));
          new Thread(rf).start();
     File file = null;
     public RFile(File f) {
          file = f;
     public void run() {
          try {
               while (true) {
                    System.out.println(file.length());
                    Thread.sleep(5000);
          } catch (Throwable err) {};
}

Unexpected problem; recently upgraded to version 3. Export of multiple tracks makes each file length same as longest file. Didn't do that in Vers2

Unexpected problem; We rrecently upgraded to version 3. Export of multiple tracks in a multitrack session makes each file length same as longest file. Didn't do that in Vers 2 of soundtrack

Hmm... Ok, so I took that project and tried importing it to a new project, still with no luck. Then I tried taking that project and creating a new timeline by dragging one of the stills to the new item icon so that I'd get whatever PrPro decided was the best timeline, and still no luck. Then I tried creating a new project and importing different footage and it worked. Tells me perhaps there's something wrong with the stills? I know not to use overly-large stills in a project, but they're all around 4k resolution or smaller... so surely that's not too big, right? 412 stills total 1.5GB which means an average of about 2.5 MB per file... certainly not too big. I even had a couple video clips in the timeline that were shot with a point-and-shoot still camera, and I tried taking those out just in case it was something in those, and still no success.
So, ultimately this project got exported without CUDA, and I'm okay... but I also am wondering what caused the problem? I do a fair amount with stills (not a lot, but enough) and I need it to work... do I just go on with life, assuming that it was some weird fluke? Or do I try a complete wipe and reinstall of OS and Programs?
Oh, one other tidbit... whenever PrPro crashed and closed, the application itself wouldn't close. I have to go into the program manager and force quit it...
Thoughts? Recommendations?
