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());

How to replace a string in a text file?

Hi All,
i read one text file and based on that i replaced the old character with the new string but it doesnt works.do any one of you have idea on this?
My Code:
String newPassword=(String) getInputText1().getValue();
String password=(String)getSimNo().getValue();
String sampleText = (String) getMobileNo().getValue();
FileReader fr =new FileReader("c:/newLogin.txt");
BufferedReader br =new BufferedReader(fr);
String record=br.readLine();
while (record !=null)
String[] afterSplit=record.split(":");
for (int p = 0; p < 1; p++) {
String userName=afterSplit[1];
String passWord=afterSplit[3];
if(userText.equals(userName) && password.equals(passWord)) {
passWord.replaceAll(passWord,newPassword);
System.out.println("password: " + password +" changed to : "+ newPassword +" successfully");
record =br.readLine();
sample fiile in the text:
userName:sebas:password:navin
userName:sebas1:password:navin1

All readLine does is copy a line of the file into a local variable. Change the copy as you will, the file won't change.
You need to write a new version of the file, with the altered lines. Then, if required, you can delete the original file and rename the new file to the old file name.

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 " "

How to read the content of a text file (by character)?

Guys,
Good day!
I'm back just need again your help. Is there anyone knows how to read the content of a text file not by line but by character.
Please help me. Thank you so much in advance.

package java.io
InputStream.read(): int
Reads the next byte of data from the input stream.
Implementation:
InputStreamReader
An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and decodes them into characters using a specified charset. The charset that it uses may be specified by name or may be given explicitly, or the platform's default charset may be accepted.

How to get summary columns in delimited text file

How to get summary columns in delimited text file
I am trying to generate a delimited text file output with delimited_hdr = no.The report is a Group above report with summary columns at the bottom.In the text file the headers are not getting repeated & thats ok.The problem is the summary data is getting repeated for each row of data.Is there a way where i will get all the data & summary data will get displayed only once.I have to import the delimited text file in excel spreadsheet.

Sorry there were a typos :
When I used desformat=DELIMITEDDATA with desttype=FILE, I get error "unknown printer driver DELIMITEDDATA". When you look for help, DELIMITED is not even listed as one of the values for DESTFORMAT. But if you scroll down and look for DELIMITER it says , this works only in conjuction with DESTFORMAT=DELIMITED !!!!!!??!! This is in 9i.
Has this thing worked for anybody ? Can anyone please tell if they were able to suppress the sumary columns or the parent columns of a master-detail data for that matter ?

How to find by DEFAULT the EXACT text string (and no more) with Acrobat Pro?

How to find by DEFAULT (always) the EXACT text string (and no more) with Acrobat Pro? Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.2.0 search engine finds USELESS hits on Mactel with Mac OS X 10.5.8.
For instance, if I search for "sec" (no quotes) trying to find ONLY hits with sec (for second, like in: it took 20 sec), it finds useless hits like: security, etc (any word containing sec, which is NOT what I want).

Any idea on how to do it by default with Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.3.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.2 (Snow Leopard)? Thanks.

How to find a string in SAP code

Hello,
Does anyone here know how I can find a string inside the SAP code efficiently? I tried finding a custom table name using the Where-used list feature but the results doesn't show the complete/correct results. It missed some user exits where the table name was also used.
Please help

Hello Jimmy,
You can try what Krishna has said there is one more way that is
goto trxn SE12,
enter Z* in the table name field,
it will give a popup box with all the Ztables found in your system...you can find your table maybe it is a little tedious job

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

this may be a stupid question but i'll give it a
shot. ...do i replace my private static void with
public static void or do a add the public?Whether you replace one of your methods or create a new one is up to you, but you have to have a method with this exact signature:
public static void main(String[] foo) {
}(The variable name can be different of course)

If the spreadsheet file is a text file, you could use the string functions to search for the presence of zeros. The details would depend heavily on the format in which the data is saved.
For working with numeric values another caution is in order. In this case it probably would work to use the Is Equal to Zero comparison primitive, but remember that in general equality comparisons on floating point numbers are not a good idea due to the finite representation in binary and roundoff errors after calculations. Adapting Matt Bradley's suggestion you might test whether the absolute value is less than some tolerance, such as 1e-6, rather than zero.

Lynn- good point! but use abs val and compare to the machine epsilon (that "little e" constant on the numeric>constants sub-palette is the smallest value that the computer can represent as a dbl)
