Help with File I/O Program

hey guys. Just finished writing this program for fun and to test myself, because I just learned the File I/O chapter of a book that I bought in an attempt to teach myself java :). This program SHOULD take a users input and change it into binary form and then show them. Here is my code. It is to the best of MY ability. It compiles perfectly and works except for the fact that it doesnt show up in binary form. you will see once u compile it. there are two files, the main class and the methods class.
Main Class:
public class TextToBinaryChanger extends Methods
public static void main(String args[])
Methods.Greeting();
Methods.WriteUserInputToFile();
Methods.readFromUserInputFile();
Methods.askIfExitProgram();
here is the Methods Class:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Methods
public static void Greeting()
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"Welcome to \"Binary Changer 1.0\"!");
public static void WriteUserInputToFile()
try
DataOutputStream WriteUserInput = new DataOutputStream(new FileOutputStream("UserInput.dat"));
PrintWriter WriteUserInputSave = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream("UserInputSave.txt"));
String askUserForInput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("Please enter in the text that you would like to have changed to binary form");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The text you entered in was: " + askUserForInput);
WriteUserInput.writeUTF(askUserForInput);
WriteUserInput.close();
catch (NullPointerException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Null has been entered, ending program");
System.exit(0);
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "This file was not found, ending program");
System.exit(0);
catch (IOException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error, program ending now");
System.exit(0);
public static void readFromUserInputFile()
try
DataInputStream showToUser = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("UserInput.dat"));
BufferedReader showToUserSave = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("UserInputSave.txt"));
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "You had first entered in:" + showToUserSave.readLine());
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Your text in Binary Form:" + showToUser.readUTF());
showToUserSave.close();
showToUser.close();
catch (NullPointerException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Null has been entered, ending program");
System.exit(0);
catch (FileNotFoundException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "This file was not found, ending program");
System.exit(0);
catch (IOException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Error, program ending now");
System.exit(0);
public static void askIfExitProgram()
String askUserIfExit = JOptionPane.showInputDialog("To run this program again, please enter in 'yes'. To exit enter in 'no'");
try
if (askUserIfExit.equalsIgnoreCase("yes"))
WriteUserInputToFile();
else
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Thank you for using Binary Changer 1.0!");
System.exit(0);
catch (NullPointerException e)
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Null has been entered, ending program");
System.exit(0);
Any help is very much appreciated. laterz,

// public because it doesn't matter
// static because it doesn't depend on any instance variables (just trust me)
// It will return a String representating the binary form of the data
// takes a String parameter
public static String toBinary(String data)
    // initialise a blank string to append to
    String toReturn = "";
    // we want to loop through each char of the string data
    for(int i=0;i<data.length();i++)
        // this line is complex
        // start from the right, and work left.
        // 1 - data.charAt(i)
        // this returns the char at index i in the string data
        // 2 - (int)data.charAt(i)
        // cast the char as an int so we can convert using existing methods
        // 3 - Integer.toBinaryString((int)data.charAt(i))
        // convert that int into a binary string
        String binary = Integer.toBinaryString((int)data.charAt(i));
        // say we converted the int 5, the string we got back would be "1001"
        // but I know that a char is 16bit, so I want to pad the start of it with zeroes
        // so while the string is shorted than 16, add a 0 to the start
        while(binary.length()<16)
            binary = "0" + binary;
        // add this onto our string that we will return
        // as well as a space so that it looks slightly formatted
        toReturn += binary + " ";
    return toReturn;
}Understand?

Need Help With File Matching Records

I need help with my file matching program.
Here is how it suppose to work: FileMatch class should contain methods to read oldmast.txt and trans.txt. When a match occurs (i.e., records with the same account number appear in both the master file and the transaction file), add the dollar amount in the transaction record to the current balance in the master record, and write the "newmast.txt" record. (Assume that purchases are indicated by positive amounts in the transaction file and payments by negative amounts.)
When there is a master record for a particular account, but no corresponding transaction record, merely write the master record to "newmast.txt". When there is a transaction record, but no corresponding master record, print to a log file the message "Unmatched transaction record for account number ..." (fill in the account number from the transaction record). The log file should be a text file named "log.txt".
Here is my following program code:

Much help is appreciated. Please help.

From the output, it looks like one problem is just formatting -- apparently you're including a newline in log entries and not using tabs for the newmast output file.
As to why the numbers are off -- just from glancing over it, it appears that the problem is when you add multiple transaction values. Since account.combine() is so simple, I suspect that you're either adding creating transaction objects incorrectly or not creating them when you should be.
Create test input data that isolates a single case of this (e.g., just the Mary Smith case), and then running your program in a debugger or adding debugging code to the add/combine method, so you can see what's happening in detail.
Also I'd recommend reconsidering your design. It's a red flag if a class has a name with "Create" in it. Classes represent bundles of independant state and transformations on that state, not things to do.

Please help with File input!

This is my first time dealing with file I/O and need help figuring out the best way to read in data and store it for further manipulation. I have a file that contains an individual's salary, and 3 product ratings on each line, such as: 75000 01 05 09
What is the best way to store this data? I know how to use BufferedReader and how to tokenize each integer. I must write this program to deal with any number of lines in a file. There are three income brackets, and I must also be able to perform the following calculations:
a) For each income bracket, the average rating for each product
b) The number of persons in Income Bracket $50000-74000 that rates all three products with a score of 5 or higher.
c) The average rating for Product 2 by persons who rated Product 1 lower than Prodcut 3.
Thus far, I've written the following code to open the file and perform 2 reads to get the total number of lines (individuals) and the total number of inidividuals in each income bracket. It compiles, but I get a null pointed exception at StringTokenizer, for some reason.
Please help! Do I need to take lines in as arrays? (tried this, but don't understand how to get at individual data) Do I need to somehow create objects for each person (if so, how?). My reference text covers this area poorly. Thanks for all help.

                    StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(trash);
                    int income = Integer.parseInt(st.nextToken());
                    if(income<50000)
                         inc1total++;
                    else if(income<75000)
                         inc2total++;
                    else if(income<100000)
                         inc3total++;
               inputStream.close();
          catch(IOException e)
               System.out.println("Problem reading from file.");
}

Try adding a print statement to see what is happening in your second read loop:
            while (trash != null)
                trash = inputStream.readLine();
                System.out.println("trash = " + trash);
                StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(trash);Another way to read in a while loop:
            while ((trash = inputStream.readLine()) != null)

Please help with structure of my program

I am hoping someone can help me with a motor control program that I am
writing. The program is too large to post here, but I attached a
rough outline of the program. I think the problem is with the
higher level logic, so hopefully that will provide the necessary
information.
I have a front panel with lots of buttons to control the motors (eg:
power, stop, start). There is an event structure that contains
most of those buttons (power, start, etc), but if that structure is
exectuting, the other buttons won't work. I need to be able to
stop the motors and exit at any time (for safety), so I made another
event structure that contains the stop and exit buttons. Is this
the right way to do this?
Also, I want all the loops in the program to run continually until the
exit button is pressed. Since the exit button actually calls
exit.vi and closes the whole program, I just wired a F constant to the
stop on the while loops so they never stop. Could this be causing
my problems?
Hopefully I provided enough information here, but if not, please write back and let me know.
Thanks,
Kasey
PS. In case anyone wonders why the whole thing is in a sequence, I need
it for other aspects of the program (safety lights, etc...). I
doubt it makes a difference, but I wanted to include it.

This is the first time I have seen a case where it is useful to have two or more event structures in one program. Since they are in separate parallel loops, I would think there would not be a problem. I like the idea that the program can be stopped in the middle of an event, for safety reasons. Great structure, Kasey. The only thing I would add is to make sure that your exit vi gracefully shuts down the program. Like if files or references are open, they get closed before terminating the vi. Just be on the look out for race conditions since you have 3 events that can happen at one time. One event might affect some indicator that is being handled by another event. Also, instead of wiring a false to the other loops, maybe you could use local variables of one general stop boolean. Since your exit vi stops all execution, it may not make much of a difference.

Help with a Word Counting Program..

I need some help with a program I am trying to write
The program is being written in BlueJ.
Im just starting the program and am completely confused on how I should write this...
But here is what I have to do..
I have to use a scanner to scan a Text file and count the # of Words the number of Vowels (including Y when it is) and the # of Palindromes (Word spelled same forward and Back) as well as which Palindromes are being used.
It would be good to have a class to clean the text and a seperate class for the tasks...
I do not want to use anything other than "If" statements and while loops (no "for" loops) and only use Printwriter as the output file writer.
Thnx to anyone in advance

I have a basic Vowel coding that doeswnt work...
public class vowel{
String word = "heyyou";
String vowels = "aeiouy";
int[] countv = new int[vowels.length()];
int countv2;
int i=0;
if(i<word.length();) { i++ {
if (int j=0 && j<vowels.length()) {
return j++;
if (word.charAt(i)==vowels.charAt(j)) {
countV[j]++; countV2++;
for (int i=0; i<vowels.length(); i++) {
System.out.println("Vowel "vowels.charAt(i)" = "+vcnt);
System.out.println("Consonants = "+(word.length()-vtot)); }
I also have a basic Palindrome code that works as a boolean but I need to make it return what the palindromes are and how many of them are there. I wanna know how I would do this.
public class Palindrome{
public static boolean isPalindrome(String word) {
int left = 0;
int right = word.length() -1;
while (left < right) {
if (word.charAt(left) != word.charAt(right)) {
return false;
left++;
right--;
return true;
I would also like to know how to actually start writing the word counter.

Help with 7 segment led program

hey, I need some help with my program. The program is supposed to make digital numbers display randomly with a possible decimal point in it. If the decimal # has a leading zero, then the zero needs to be not displayed. also, when you click the change color button, the numbers and decimal point are supposed to change to one of three preset colors. I've got the numbers changing colors, but I can't get the decimal point to change color, nor can I get the numbers to change randomly.

Your code does not compile.
EDIT:
for instance your Main class alone has a several glaring problems that suggest that you are foundering here. Please see comments in code below:
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws InterruptedException {
        JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
        MyJFrame mjf = new MyJFrame();
        // why use "while (true)"??? Swing is supposed to be event driven and doesn't need loops like this.
        // do you need to use a Swing Timer instead?
        while (true) {
            int deci = (int)(Math.random() * 3);
            int num = (int)(Math.random() * 1000);
            // why is the method below being called as if it were a
            // static method when it's not? This is not a legal
            // expression
            Digit.DisplayNumber(num, deci);

The code you post is javascript, NOT java ! ... but either way, maybe the scripts have variables in conflict, so if you pack each piece of code in diferent functions and then you call the functions it may work.

Help with GMAIL in Mail Program....

Hi,
I am using the Apple Mail Program in Leopard and just picked up a Gmail account. I want to set up my Gmail account on 4 different computers work/home/laptop) that I access all the time and am hoping I can set it up so that wherever I check my mail it looks more or less like it does on Gmail.com with respect to the emails:
1. All mail that I've deleted on another computer is gone from all the other computers when checking mail on those other computers. Is that possible??? Currently, I use a bellsouth.net account and a .mac account, and when I log on to any of the computers via the mail program, it gives me all of my 'new mail', whether or not it was deleted on another computer.
2. Sent mail. Is there any way to send it on one computer's Mail program and have it show up in my Sent box on the other computers?
3. Ditto on Trash and other folders
I did try to set it up my Gmail account using IMAP but I thendeleted the account on Mail because it looked 'weird'. I had a Mailbox in my Inbox for the Gmail account and then also another whole separate, duplicate Gmail account (with All Mail, Drafts, Sent Mail, Spam, Starred, and Trash Folders) further down the left side of mail. In testing an email to gmail account from my .mac account, the mail ended up in two places in my Mail and deleting one did not delete the others.
If this cannot work, I can just go to gmail.com. BUT, I so love MAIL that I am hoping there is a fix to all this.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

My recollection is that unless you are a paid Hotmail account member, you cannot use Mail. Do a search within the discussion group, as I am not an expert, but I recall not getting Hotmail for that very reason.
Perhaps give gmail a try.....
That said....I still need some help with my posting! So please and thank you.

I need help with the Bon Scott program

Help me! I am learning Java from the book, "Teach Yourself Java through Osmosis" and I am having trouble with the Bon Scott program. Everytime I run it, which has been ca. 2 billion, it prints out, "Some balls are held for charity and some for fancy dress, but when they're held for pleasure, they're the balls that I like the best." It then proceeds to get pissed and finally vomits.
Any suggestions ?

What color is the vomit? That is, exactly what does it do when it gets pissed and vomits?

Help with file management

Well I am just starting my first project using FCP and can see that it is going to be a learning curve after coming over from PPro.
One thing that I have been unable to find is just how to keep track of which clips have been used in the timeline, and how many times. In Premiere Pro I had the option to show video and audio usage for each clip in the browser.
Have not found how to do this yet in FCP.
Hope someone can help with this....
Thanks
Kirk

Guess that I just have to get used to how it is done in FCP. I have over 1,500 clips in about 30 folders and it would sure make it easy if I could just glance at a clip in the browser and see if it has been used.
Thanks for the tip on the duplicate frames though. That is going to help to identify duplicate clips once they are placed in the timeline.
Sure seems like a lot of time spent identifying if a clip is already used though. As I look through the clips in the browser I guess there is no way to tell if they have been used other than put them in the timeline or use the search function.
Still learning here.
Thanks
Kirk

Need help with running a Java program on Linux

I am trying to get a Java program to run on a Linux machine. The program is actually meant for a Mac computer. I want to see if someone with Java experience can help me determine what is causing the program to stall. I was successful in getting it installed on my Linux machine and to partially run.
The program is an interface to a database. I get the login screen to appear, but then once I enter my information and hit enter the rest of the program never shows, however, it does appear to connect in the background.
Here is the error when I launch the .jar file from the command screen:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: illegal component position
at java.awt.Container.addImpl(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.Container.add(Unknown Source)
I am not a programmer and I am hoping this will make some sense to someone. Any help in resolving this is greatly appreciated!

Well, without knowing a little bit about programming, and how to run your debugger, I don't think you're going to fix it. The IllegalArgumentException is saying that some call does not like what it's getting. So you'll have to go in an refactor at least that part of the code.

Need urgent help with a new Z program please

I have to write a program that finds files matching some pattern, for example I have files test1,test2,test3 in a directory then if I pass test* as parameter it should find all the files i.e, test1,2,3. I have to then store the files in internal table, loop through it and have to call some other program zzz that has a selection screen with default parameters.
1) Is there any function that I can call that gives all the files by passing wild card (ex:test*) and store the files in internal table?
2) How do I call some other program ZZZ from my program?
3) How do I pass values from my program to other program's selection screen?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi,
1) data: FILE_TABLE TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF FILE_INFO.
data: wa_file type file_info.
data: count type i.
CALL METHOD CL_GUI_FRONTEND_SERVICES=>DIRECTORY_LIST_FILES
            EXPORTING
                DIRECTORY = 'C:\'
                FILTER    = 'test.*'
                files_only = 'X'
            changing
                FILE_TABLE = file_table[]
                count      = count.
loop at file_table into wa_file.
write: / wa_file-filename.
endloop.
2) You can use SUBMIT statement to call another program..
3) In the SUBMIT statement you can use the WITH addition to pass the values to the program.
Thanks,

Need help with File to SOAP sync scenario: NO_BACK_SYSTEM_IN_HOPLIST

Hello,
I am setting up a new scenario where I get an XML file with PI, send that content via sync SOAP receiver call and direct the result of the web service response to SAP (just back to file as intermediate step).
So far I have the transaction working to the SOAP adapter receiver request / response. I see the correct approval response coming in my SOAP channel (RWB AE payload), but this message gets stuck there before routing back to my receiver interface and mappings.
General setup:
FILE Sender to SYNC OB SI.
OB SI Request is my source message type and Response is my final message output type.
OM Source is this Sync OB SI. Target is a SOAP Sync IB SI. Request Mapping program matches the source file message type and target SOAP layout. Response Mapping matches SOAP response and Target is my final file layout.
Routing for Sync OB SI ID uses this OM for Sync IB SI.
SYNC IB SI has Request and REsponse messages mapping the external SOAP call.
When I test the configuration I get success.
When I send messages through I get error in the adapter about this NO_BACK_SYSTEM_IN_HOPLIST (therefore the response message is not making it back into the IE so that it can be mapped again and forwarded).
Complete error message from RWB Adapter Log "Transmitting the message to endpoint http://[myhostname]:[myport]/sap/xi/engine?type=entry using connection SOAP_http://sap.com/xi/XI/System failed, due to: com.sap.engine.interfaces.messaging.api.exception.MessagingException: NO_BACK_SYSTEM_IN_HOPLIST:." and the next line is "Received XI System Error. ErrorCode: NO_BACK_SYSTEM_IN_HOPLIST ErrorText: null ErrorStack: Legacy system to which acknowledgment message is to be sent is missing in hoplist (with wasread=false)"
Any ideas for me? (fyi not using BPM).
Regards, Aaron Myers

Hi AAron,
Looks like this problem has occured before. There are SAP Notes recommended. Below are some helpful links.

Need help with a cash register program.

I'm a noob at JAVA, but having fun with i so far! I was wondering if anyone could help me with a school project I need to get done. I've done most of the work, but I can't get it to not display when I have zero results. What I mean is that the project requires you to create a cash register program that gives you change in 20's, 5's, and 1's for a hundred dollar bill. I get it to display the results, but if there are zero of any category, like in the last problem, I can't let it show. Could someone please help! Thank you in advance! Here's what I have so far (sorry about the rapidshare download ^_^;).
[http://rapidshare.de/files/39978938/project.java.html]

Zack,
The user should not see the line: 0 $5 bill(s)Then you need to detect the situation where no five dollars bills are included in the change, and suppress the output of that line.
I can read your mind... it's going something like "yeah well righto smartass, I knew that allready... my question was _HOW_ to make that happen...
And my answer to that is "I'm not telling you"... well, not straight out anyway, coz you'll actually learn more if your struggle a bit (but not too much) yourself...
So... I suggest you (at least) read through [this page|http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/nutsandbolts/if.html] on the +if+ statement, and maybe even try out the examples, which should (I imagine) take maybe half an hour or so. "Selection" is an absolutely core programming construct... and the concept is common to every programming language ever (AFAIK) invented... meaning that you will really struggle until you "get" the +if+ statement... so that half hour would be time well spent.
When you've got +if+ concept onboard, you can attempt to apply it to your immediate problem, suppressing those annoying fivers! Have a go yourself, if get really stumped than post a _specific_ question here about the bit that's stumped you.
I know it can be frustrating... but that just hightens the little thrill you get when you "get it".
Cheers. Keith.
