Finding multiple strings in a text file and deleting the entire line

Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt | Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1', 'something2', 'something3', 'something4' } | Set-Content temp.txt
Above is the program that when it has 1 argument in the -notmatch part will find the specific string and delete the entire line. I need to be able to use multiple strings for my search, I am totally drawing a blank on this and I know its something REALLY
simple but my brain is fried. The above code will work IF i only leave 'something1' and delete the rest. I need to find MULTIPLE matches and remove them all at once, what is a good way to accomplish this.

You can use an alternating regex, like this:
Get-Content c:\output-Copy.txt |
Where-Object {$_ -notmatch 'something1|something2|something3|something4' } |
Set-Content temp.txt
[string](0..33|%{[char][int](46+("686552495351636652556262185355647068516270555358646562655775 0645570").substring(($_*2),2))})-replace " "

Copy one text file to another text file and delete last line

Hi all wonder if someone can help, i want to be able to copy one text file to another text file and remove the last line of the first text file. So currently i have this method:
Writer output = null;
 File file = new File("playerData.xml");
 try {
 output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
 output.write("\t" + "<player>" + "\n");
 output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerName>" + playerName + "</playerName>" + "\n");
 output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerScore>" + pointCount + "</playerScore>" + "\n");
 output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerTime>" + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds" + "</playerTime>" + "\n");
 output.write("\t" + "</player>" + "\n");
 output.write("</indianaTuxPlayer>" + "\n");
 output.close();
 System.out.println("Player data saved!");
 catch (IOException e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 }However each time the method is run i get the "</indianaTuxPlayer>" line repeated, now when i come to read this in as a java file i get errors becuase its not well formed. So my idea is to copy the original file, remove the last line of that file, so the </indianaTuxPlayer> line and then add this to a new file with the next data saved in it. So i would end up with something like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<indianaTuxPlayers>
 <player>
 <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
 <playerScore>0</playerScore>
 <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
 </player>
 <player>
 <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
 <playerScore>0</playerScore>
 <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
 </player>
 <player>
 <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
 <playerScore>0</playerScore>
 <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
 </player>
</indianaTuxPlayers>
However after all day searching the internet and trying ways, i have been unable to get anything working, could anyone give me a hand please?

I would go the XML route too, but for fun, open a file as a BufferedWriter and do this:
void copyAllButLastLine(File src, BufferedWriter tgt) throws IOException {
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(src));
 try {
 String previous= in.readLine();
 for (String current = null; (current = in.readLine()) != null; previous=current) {
 tgt.write(previous);
 tgt.newLine();
 } finally {
 in.close();
}

What I wanna do is to read all the data above and buffer them in a queue for each user( there are only 10 users in total).
I already created a class called Class packet:
public class packet {
    private int timestamp;
    private int user_id;
    private int packet_id;
    private int packet_seqno;
    private int packet_size;
    /** Creates a new instance of packet */
    public packet(int timestamp,int user_id, int packet_id,int packet_seqno, int packet_size)
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
        this.user_id=user_id;
        this.packet_id=packet_id;
        this.packet_seqno=packet_seqno;
        this.packet_size=packet_size;
}then I wanna to create another Class called Class user which I can create a queue for each user (10 users in total) to store type packet information. the queue for each user will be in the order by timestamp.
any idea and sample code will be appreciated.

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

How to read the source file and copy the entire content to the target Database field

Hi All,
PI system extracts the actual business content from the incoming attachment file and copy the entire format to the target Database field which is a blob data type field.
Sender Adapter: SOAP
Receiver Adapter: JDBC
JDBC Structure
Can we achived the above requirement by using UDF with out Java Mapping?
Thanks,
Mahi.

Ok, in this case yo can use the conten converion of the file adapter. Therefore you first need to create a Datatype in ESR with the required structure
Then in your file adapter you need to use this datatype and its required fields:
The Datatype then can be used as usual within you mapping.

In "Notes", typing a hyphen deletes the entire line of text

Has anybody encounterd goofiness in Notes? I am frequently experiencing problems where Notes is deletes my typing. This happens often at random times but if I switch to a different line on the page it will let me type. Typing a hyphen will ALWAYS delete the entire line of text.
Perplexed... has been going on for months. Did not used to happen....

Excellent suggestion, Peter.
Tabbing proved to be a little dodgy, simply because my paragraphs are set to Justify with Last Line Aligned Left, and so depending on where I am in a line of text, I'd have to get really deep into tinkering with my tab settings. But just using the space bar and tweaking the character styles yielded fine results.
Thanks!
(Now if only ID6 would print correctly when duplexing on my HP 8100 on letter-sized paper…)

How to read the contents of a text file and populate the data in a table ?

Hello All,
Can anyone advise on how to acheieve the above ? I am trying to read in a text file (CSV) and have the contents populated to the respective UI elements in a table. Any help is greatly appreciated.
from
Kwok Wei

Hi,
Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in a table.
1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
try{
FileReader f =new FileReader("");
BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(f);
String names=r.readLine();
Vector Names=new Vector();
// Use Tokenizer and store all the names i a vector//
for(int i=0;i<Names.size();i++){
IPrivate<<VieName>>.INameElement ele=wdContext.createNameElement();
ele.set<<Name>>( Names.get(i).toString());
wdContext.NodeName().addElement(ele);

Issue : Read a text file and print the same

Hi, My requirement is to read a text file and print it the same way.
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
public class CatFile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
     FileReader file = new FileReader("D:/Test/Allfiles.txt");
     BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(file);
     String text = "";
     String line = reader.readLine();
     while (line != null)
          text += line;
          line = reader.readLine();
     System.out.println(text);
The text file i used contains
A
B
C
but my output is ABC.
What change should be made to print it the same way in the txt file ?

Hi EJP,
I modified the code based on your suggestion and now its working as expected. Thanks
Modified code :
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
public class CatFile {
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
     FileReader file = new FileReader("D:/Test/Allfiles.txt");
     BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(file);
     String text = "";
     String line = reader.readLine();
     while (line != null)
          System.out.println(line);
          line = reader.readLine();
          text += line;
}

Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

Hi All,
I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
void ReadTextFile()
                    FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                     InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                     char[] buf=new char[1024];
                     isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                     fstr=new String(buf);
                     String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                     while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                      pcode1=st.nextToken();
                           pname1=st.nextToken();
          price1=st.nextToken();
                          sname1=st.nextToken();
     } //close of while loop
                } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
Thanks in advance.

If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
MyClassName.pcode1;
MyClassName.pname1;
MyClassName.price1;
MyClassName.sname1

Searching a text file and printing the line if found!

Hi, Im fairly new to JAVA and have been googling this for hours and havent found any results that
have helped me...
Im looking to search a text file for a value that is in a that is delimited by colons
eg 45787 : 398948 : 398884 : 398984
IF that value is found I need to print this entire line and move it into a string.
I can work out the delimit part, the problem for me is a)searching the text file
and b) tell java to print that line only??
Any help would be very very much appreciated
Cheers

public void printCourses() throws Exception
 stuinput[] courseObjArray = new stuinput[10]; //Make sure this is the same as the ammount in the text
 Scanner sc = new Scanner(new File("testfile.txt"));
 int i=0;
 boolean found = false;
 while(sc.hasNextLine())
 //Delimit this line with scanner
 Scanner sc1 = new Scanner(sc.nextLine());
 sc1.useDelimiter(":");
 courseObjArray[i] = new stuinput(sc1.next(),sc1.next());
 i++;
 }//while
 for(int i1 = 0;i1 < courseObjArray.length;i1++)
 System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseCode);
 System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
 System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
 System.out.println("-----------------");
 String courseCode2 = "courseObjArray[i1].courseCode";
 if (courseCode2 == "12345")
 System.out.println("working");
 else{System.out.println("Not Found");}
 }hmmm just wondering why could this method always return a "Not Found"....if the text file had a whole bunch of values like this
12345:Course1
12344:Course2
12343:Course3
isnt it surposed to return 1 "Working"?? because there is a 12345 in on of the line, in the semi colon delimited line with 2 values, one being the course code, one being the course name??
Given that there is 10 lines (from Array Object)

Any way to embed a text file and retain the link?

Hi everyone,
I am embedding the contents of a text file using "Insert > Choose...". This works wonderfully, but it appears to just insert the contents and gives me no way to update the text if the original text file changes. In Word, I can insert the text file and have it retain the link, then I have the ability to update the field (or all files in the document) with updated wording from my source files.
In case you're wondering, I'm exploring using Pages for authoring the user guides for my company's software. We include command usage statements in our documentation and we have a workflow that runs each command, capturing it's help output into a text file, then we include this in the user guide document. Obviously, having the ability to update the user guide document with updated usage syntax is a required piece of functionality. I would like to use Pages instead of Word, but I'm not sure it can do this.
Thanks in advance!
Brian

No, Pages can't do it. It doesn't keep a link to the original text document. You have to replace the text when you have made changes.

How to output strings to an text file and excel file

Hi guys,
I am writing a simple application taht process some string inputs from user using a simple GUI. The GUI consists of a series of
textfields which the user can enter names, age, addresses....etc
Once they complete filling up that GUI form, they click SUBMIT. All the values will then be read. These strings are then required to be output to 2 files
1. To a text file which I can open it and read it anytime I wish.
2. To an excel file which follows a specific format. That is, all names will be written to column B, all ages will be written to column C...etc
The programme is expected to keep running allow the user to enter details of multiple persons(some 300 sets of data of different persons) until he clicks on End program.
Please advise how I can output the strings to
1. Text file
2. Excel file.
Many many thanks. I need this for one of my project which is due so so soon...... :((
Regards
David

1. Text file
See link to "Documentation - Tutorials" on the left
side of this page.
2. Excel file
Dont try to write the real excel format (if you want
to do it soon).
- write data to a plain text file.
- Use tab stops for separation of values.
- Name file as excel file. (*.xls)
If you double click this file, excel will import data
and insert it to a table in the right order by
itself.
Excel can save this as real .xls now.
Anyone here with a better idea? (Try to learn by
myself)good thing to know for the excel tip :)
thx

Hi, this is my fourth post to forum.java.sun.com and my final one for the day, so I can allow feedback to emerge on my compliance or lack thereof with the conventions of the board.
Fortunately, I have picked up the skill of telepathy and so am able to answer your question. :)
In your processLine(String line) method or equivalent, you can do something like this:
if (line.indexOf("source:") == 0) {
source = line.substring(6, line.length());
} else if (line.indexOf("POSTdata:") == 0) {
postdata = line.substring(9, line.length());
