Fill a text file from java code

Hello,
I've written a java code to insert some informations in a database and
I also want to save the same informations in text files (.txt).
Thanks you for your suggestions or your advice of a tutorial that can help me to perform successfully this task.
J.S.

Writing to a file is pretty easy in Java. A simple way is to use the PrintStream class.import java.io.*;
public class MyClass {
  public static void main(String[] arg) throws IOException {
    PrintStream ps=new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(new File("someTextFile.txt")));
    //now use println(String) to write lines of text to the file
    ps.println("This is a line in the file");
    //always close the PrintStream when finished
    ps.close();
}Alternatively, for a good tutorial, click the 'Tutorials' link in the left column on this page.

  • How to modify an existing xml file from java code.

    Hi
    I have worked on creating a new xml file from java code using xmlbeans.But if i try to modify an already existing file using java code I am unable to get errorfree xmlfile.
    For example if xml file(studlist.xml) is as below:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
         <Student>
              <Name>ram</Name>
              <Age>27</Age>
         </Student>
    <Student>
              <Name>sham</Name>
              <Age>26</Age>
         </Student>
    </StudentList>
    Now suppose i have set name to victor using student.setName,
    and set age to 20 using setAge from javacode,
    the new xml file is as follows:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <StudentList xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="D:\kchaitanya\xmlprac1\abc\Studlist.xsd">
         <Student>
              <Name>ram</Name>
              <Age>27</Age>
         </Student>
    <Student>
              <Name>sham</Name>
              <Age>26</Age>
         </Student>
    </StudentList>
    <Student>
              <Name>victor</Name>
              <Age>20</Age>
         </Student>
    As observed this is not a valid xml file.But how can i modify without any errors?

    I know it's an old post, but I found this while doing a google search for something else, and don't like to leave it un-aswered
    Just in case anyone has a similar problem... In this case the new elements have been appended outside of the root element
    What you need to do is first get the root element and then append the new children to that, there are several ways of getting the root element, which depend on what you want to do with the elements you get back here's a simple (incomplete) way.
    // gets the root element of the specified file (code not shown)
    Element rootElement= new SAXReader().read(file).getRootElement();Then just append the new elements as below (this is non-generic code and would need to be modified for your situation)
    // write a new student element
    Element student = document.createElement("Student");  // creates the new student
    rootElement.appendChild(student); // ***appends it to the root element***
    Element name = document.createElement("Name"); // creates the name element
    name.appendChild(document.createTextNode("Fred")); // adds the name text to the name element
    student.appendChild(name); // appends the name to the student
    Element age= document.createElement("Age"); // creates the age element
    age.appendChild(document.createTextNode("26")); // adds the age text to the age element
    student.appendChild(age); // appends the name to the studentThen flush ya buffers or whatever and write the file

  • Starting exetutable java file from java code

    Hi I was wondering how I can start a executable java file from java code?
    thanks

    Hi Mkaveli,
    Yes, it's possible. If you have a JAR executable, you've just to call the main method of its starter class. For a simple executable class, just call its main method.
    This way :
    SomeStarter.main(null); // if there's no argumentSmall precision : the executable JAR or class must be specified in the classpath of your application.

  • How to pass arguments to a batch file from java code

    Hi
    I have a batch file (marcxml.bat) which has the following excerpt :
    @echo off
    if x==%1x goto howto
    java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; %1 %2 %3
    goto end
    I'm calling this batch file from a java code with the following line of code:
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat");
    so ,that invokes the batch file.Till that point its ok.
    since the batch file accpets arguments(%1 %2 %3) how do i pass those arguments to the batch file from my code ...???
    %1 is a classname : for ex: gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC
    %2 is the name of the input file for ex : C:/Downloads/Marcxml/source.xml
    %3 is the name of the output file for ex: C:/Downloads/Marcxml/target.mrc
    could someone help me...
    if i include these parameters too along with the above line of code i.e
    Process p = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start C:/Downloads/Marcxml/marcxml.bat gov.loc.marcxml.MARC21slim2MARC C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\source.xml C:\\Downloads\\Marcxml\\target.mrc") ;
    I get the following error :
    Exception in thread main java.lang.Noclassdef foundError: c:Downloads\marcxml\source/xml
    could some one tell me if i'm doing the right way in passing the arguments to the batch file if not what is the right way??

    1 - create a java class (Executer.java) for example:
    import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
    import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    public class Executer {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              try {
                   for (int i = 0; i < args.length; i++) {
                        System.out.println(args);
                   Class<?> c = Class.forName(args[0]);
                   Class[] argTypes = new Class[] { String[].class };
                   Method main = c.getDeclaredMethod("main", argTypes);
                   // String[] mainArgs = Arrays.copyOfRange(args, 1, args.length); //JDK 6
                   //jdk <6
                   String[] mainArgs = new String[args.length - 1];
                   for (int i = 0; i < mainArgs.length; i++) {
                        mainArgs[i] = args[i + 1];
                   main.invoke(null, (Object) mainArgs);
                   // production code should handle these exceptions more gracefully
              } catch (ClassNotFoundException x) {
                   x.printStackTrace();
              } catch (NoSuchMethodException x) {
                   x.printStackTrace();
              } catch (IllegalAccessException x) {
                   x.printStackTrace();
              } catch (InvocationTargetException x) {
                   x.printStackTrace();
              } catch (Exception e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
    2 - create a .bat file:
    @echo off
    java -cp C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marc4j.jar; C:\Downloads\Marcxml\marcxml.jar; Executer %TARGET_CLASS% %IN_FILE% %OUT_FILE%3 - use set command to pass variable:
    Open MS-DOS, and type the following:
    set TARGET_CLASS=MyTargetClass
    set IN_FILE=in.txt
    set OUT_FILE=out.txt
    Then run your .bat file (in the same ms dos window)
    Hope that Helps

  • Running a jar file from java code

    Hi!
    Im trying to run a jar file from my code.
    I've tried Classloader, but that doesnt work because it doesnt find the images (also embedded in the 2nd jar file).
    WHat I would like to do is actually RUN the 2nd jar file from the first jar file. There must be a way to do this right?
    any ideas?

    ok, I found some wonderful code (see below) that will try to start the jar. But it doesn't. What it does is produce the following error when my application runs...
    So it's not finding the images in the jar file that I am trying to run? Strange. I checked the URL that sending, but it seems ok....
    I think I will check the url again to make sure......

  • Running Oracle startup or shutdown bat file from Java code

    I have two bat files for the startup and shutdown of Oracle instance which works fine from the command prompt. But my requirement is to run it through a Java program. Please reply with full Java code. Also mention how I would get the status of the bat files that it is successfully executed or not and if not what is the error.

    Your program is working fine, but there is another problem. What's happening now is I have to open the Login screen after the startup of oracle server is complete, but the next line of my program after Runtime.exec is the LoginScreen.show which immediately shows the login screen after executing Runtime.exec and when I am giving the login name and password and press enter, it shows Oracle not available exception, because the startup process is still in progress. I want to stop the execution of my next line of code until and unless my process of Oracle startup is complete.

  • Running .jar files from Java code

    Hi.
    I am designing a sort of platform to run some games which are saved in .jar files. Basically this platform is a menu from which the user can select the game which he/she wants to run. It also has the feature of adding new games.
    Is is possible to run the .jar file from within java code?
    Thanks for any help!

  • Running .bat files from java code

    Dear Forum,
    I have seen numerous postings on the web about this question, still I have found no answer that works (for me)
    I�m trying to run a simple .bat file from a piece of java code , however it does not work. No error message , but still.
    Does anyone have a tip?
    best regards

    try{
                String cmd = "cmd.exe C:\\mybat.bat";
                Runtime.getRuntime().exec(cmd);
    catch(IOException e){System.out.println("ERROR: "+e);}Message was edited by:

    "cmd.exe C:\mybat.bat" is being passed to the OS for execution
    what happens when in a terminal/dos window you execute letter for letter:
    cmd.exe C:\mybat.bat
    The output will be identical to what is happening when java makes this call.
