The key difference is that Vector is synchronized whilst ArrayList is not. Synchronized means that the classes methods can safely be accessed by different threads and as your application will not be multithreaded then the ArrayList is possibly the better option.
To store Strings in an ArrayList, you first need to declare the ArrayList object something like this;
ArrayList<String> listAList = new ArrayList<String>();and you would obviously do something similar for the ArrayList that will hold the Strings that should belong to List B.
The first thing to note is that you can use the new (well new in version 1.5 anyway) generics techniques to specify the type of the object the ArrayList will hold; Strings in this case.
To add a value into the ArrayList once you have read it from the file and decided if it belongs in the List A or List B ArrayList, all you need to do is call the add() method of the ArrayList something like this;
// Assume that you read the line from the file into a variable called temp;
listAList.add(temp);To compare the two lists, the easiest option would be to iterate through one ArrayList and ceheck to see if the values you recover from it are duplicated in the other ArrayList. Luckilly, ArrayList has another method that helps here, it is called contains();
Assuming that you have two ArrayList(s), one called listAList that holds the Strings that belong to List A and another called listBList that holds the Strings that belong to ListB, you could do something like this to check for duplicates;
for(String element : listAList) {
if(listBList.contains(element)) {
System.out.println("Found a match");
}Hope that helps.

How to find Client Character set?

Hi,
I need to connect to remote database which is having different character set than the client. Ia there any method to display client character and Database character set from SQL Plus? Could someone please help me.
Thanks in Advance
Sree.

I guess you're using PL/SQL Developer?
(because I get that warning message too ;) )
The warning also continues with:
You can set the client character set thought the NLS_LANG environment variable or the NLS_LANG registry key.
If I execute some scripts from client (client character set WE8MSWIN1252 and database character set UTF8) will
it cause any problem?It depends on what kind of data you're loading/importing. (chinese characters for example)
I never had any problems at all, since I'm not using 'exotic' characters.
You can find related threads on http://asktom.oracle.com/pls/asktom/asktom.search?p_string=%22UTF8%22
and more explanations in the Oracle Globalization Guide: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B19306_01/server.102/b14225/toc.htm

How to find the occurrence of a word

Hi...how can i write a method to find the occurrence of a string......
i was thinkin of using an arraylist...but is there another way of doing it without an arraylist?
thanks

Do you mean the occurence of a string in a DOM tree, an XML document, some other file on disk or in another String.
For the latter, it is pretty easy...int startAt = 0;
int count = 0;
while (startAt != -1 ) {
if ( (startAt = myString.indexOf(searchString, startAt)) != -1 ) count++;
}

How to find base character from an accented character

Hi, given an accented character (�, �, �, etc...) is there a way to retrieve its base character? In the case above, a, o and c respectivelly?
I searched in this forum and google and didn't find a definitive answer.
The reason i need this is because in my database, some records have accented content, and now i need to generate a textfile to transfer daily to a bank, but the bank doesn't accept accented characters.
Thanks.

Decompose the Unicode string -- i.e., perform an NFC transformation -- and then strip off the diacritical marks, as done in VietPad editor.
There is a native class, java.text.Normalizer, but it is not made public until Mustang release.

How to find out how many space character in setence (string var) ?

Dear all Master,
I need Your help please.
Topic:
Script Editor.
My System:
-CUCM 7.0
-UCCX 7.0 premium
-Nuance recognizer 9.0
Question:
ABC = string var.
ABC = "this is sample"
2 space character in ABC string var.
How to find out how many space character in ABC var ?
Regards,
Susanto

Hi
Create a int variable called whatever you want, then insert a SET step.
Set the variable to the new int you created, and then paste this into the 'value' field:
String[] myarray = teststring.split(" ");
return myarray.length -1 ;
Basically it splits the string into chunks each time it hits the " " character.
This results in an array of the resulting chunks (i.e. words), which is one more than the number of spaces. -1 from that, and you have your int variable set to the number of spaces.

How to find a specific word in sentence in each line?

How to find a specific word in sentence in each line and output will show start from the beginning from specific word plus with small description from each sentence?
For example: I need to find a "+Wednesday+" and "+Thursday+" word in each sentence by line by line from "myfile.txt".
Go ballet class next Wednesday.
On the Wednesday is going to swim class.
We have a meeting on Thursday at Panda's.
Then it will show the output:
Wednesday : ballet class
Wednesday : swim class
Thursday: meeting at Panda's
I am going to figure out in Java console to read from a file for specific word from each line and how to make it output in correct way. I know already to make input/file codes.

I got it and understand much better. Thank you very much. There is a problem with it because I knew how to make
a specific word in sentence but how I should make Output for specific word and some words from sentence.
For example:
Input:
+"On Thursday go to ballet class"+
+"Swim class on Friday one time a month at 2 p.m."+
I used the codes for that:
class FindSchedule{
     String firstline = "On Thursday go to ballet class ";
     String secondline = "Swim class on Friday one time a month ";
     FindSchedule(){
          System.out.println(firstline + findTheIndex("Thursday", firstline));
          System.out.println(secondline + findTheIndex("Friday", secondline));
     public int findTheIndex(String word, String sentence){
          int index;
          index = sentence.indexOf(word);
          return index;
     public static void main (String[] args){
          new FindSchedule();
}The output will be:
Thursday: ballet class
Friday: 14:00 swim class one time a week
Notice that time is changing in output complete different from input.
I need to find out how to extract some words from each sentence for output. Do you know how to do it?
