How to print a text file using Java

How can I print a text file using Java without converting the output to an image format. Is there anyway I can send the characters in the text file as it is for a print job? I did get a listing doing this ... but that converted the text to an image format before printing....
THanks,.

Hi I had to write a print api from scratch, and I did not convert the output to image. Go and read up on the following code. I know there is a Tutorial on Sun about the differant sections of the snippet.
private void printReport()
     Frame tempFrame = new Frame(getName());
     PrintJob printerJob = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getPrintJob(tempFrame, "Liesltext", null);
     Graphics g = printerJob.getGraphics();
                //I wrote the method below for calculations
     printBasics(g);
     g.dispose();
     printerJob.end();
}This alone wont print it you have to do all the calculations in the printBasics method. And as I said I wrote this from scratch and all I did was research first the tutorial and the white papers
Ciao

  • How to read a text file using Java

    Guys,
    Good day!
    Please help me how to read a text file using Java and create/convert that text file into XML.
    Thanks and God Bless.
    Regards,
    I-Talk

         public void fileRead(){
                 File aFile =new File("myFile.txt");
             BufferedReader input = null;
             try {
               input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
               String line = null;
               while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
             catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
               ex.printStackTrace();
             catch (IOException ex){
               ex.printStackTrace();
         }This code is to read a text file. But there is no such thing that will convert your text file to xml file. You have to have a defined XML format. Then you can read your data from text files and insert them inside your xml text. Or you may like to read xml tags from text files and insert your own data. The file format of .txt and .xml is far too different.

  • How to convert a HTML files into a text file using Java

    Hi guys...!
    I was wondering if there is a way to convert a HTML file into a text file using java programing language. Likewise I would also like to know if there is a way to convert any type of file (excel, power point, and word) into text using java.
    By the way, I really appreciated the help that you guys gave me on my previous topic on how to extract tests from a pdf file.
    Thank you....

    HTML files are already text files. What do you mean you want to convert them?
    I think if you search the web, you can find things for converting those MS Office files to text (or extracting text from them, as I assume you mean).

    Hi Mohamed,
    I tried above code after importing JQuery Library through script Tag. It worked for me . Pls check.
    Note : You can place Jquery1.xx.xx.js file in the same folder where you saved this IRPT/HTML file.
    <HTML>
    <HEAD>
        <TITLE>Your Title Here</TITLE>
        <SCRIPT type="text/javascript" src="jquery-1.9.1.js"></SCRIPT>

  • Changing HTML to text file using java

    Hi,
    I am doing a project in which i have to read news articles from websites. I have tried XML but for that i need to know which tag has the article in it. Since i have to read from various websites so each site used different tags for different informations.
    Is there anyway that i can change an HTML file into a text file using java. Maybe some command that removes all the HTML tags and gives just the information. Is there anything else that anyone would like to recommend?
    Thanx
    yafis

    Maybe something like this:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.net.*;
    import javax.swing.text.*;
    import javax.swing.text.html.*;
    class GetHTMLText
         public static void main(String[] args)
              throws Exception
              EditorKit kit = new HTMLEditorKit();
              Document doc = kit.createDefaultDocument();
              // The Document class does not yet handle charset's properly.
              doc.putProperty("IgnoreCharsetDirective", Boolean.TRUE);
              // Create a reader on the HTML content.
              Reader rd = getReader(args[0]);
              // Parse the HTML.
              kit.read(rd, doc, 0);
              //  The HTML text is now stored in the document
              System.out.println( doc.getText(0, doc.getLength()) );
         // Returns a reader on the HTML data. If 'uri' begins
         // with "http:", it's treated as a URL; otherwise,
         // it's assumed to be a local filename.
         static Reader getReader(String uri)
              throws IOException
              // Retrieve from Internet.
              if (uri.startsWith("http:"))
                   URLConnection conn = new URL(uri).openConnection();
                   return new InputStreamReader(conn.getInputStream());
              // Retrieve from file.
              else
                   return new FileReader(uri);

    Since the word "TEXT" is formed of 4 letters, you would read the text file 4 bytes by four bytes. Wrong on two counts. First, the file may not be encoded 1 byte per character. It could be utf-16 in which case it would be two byte per character. Second, even if it were 1 byte per character, the string "Text" may not start on a 4 byte boundary.
    Consider a FileInputStream object "fis" that points to your text file. use fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) to read every four bytes. Convert the "TEXT" String into a byte array "TEXT".getBytes(), and yous the Arrays class to compare the equality of the read bytes with your "TEXT".getBytes()Wrong since it relies on my second point and will fail when fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) does not read 4 bytes (as is no guaranteed to). Check the Javadoc. Also, the file may not be encoded with the default character encoding.
    The problem is easily solved by reading a line at a time using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader wrapping a FileInputStream and specifying the correct character encoding.

  • How to print a text file with long lines?

    Lavanya,
    This question relates to shell scripting and in IMO it is not an oracle question.
    I have made some initial assumptions before my proposed solution.
    PLEASE note that this is untested, but can just guide you as a template for solving your problem.
    Assuming that you have properly set up the control file and mapped each and every table in it as per the file information which you have..
    Assuming the text file to be in the format of : ------ (as suggested by other posters earlier, this file holds instructions about the file and table mapping which shall be used by your sqlldr process.)
    tmp.txt:
    text_file_1-------------should goes to----customer_info_table
    text_file_2------------should goes to------customer_address_table
    text_file_3-----------should goes to-------customer_order_table
    while read line
    do
    SQLLDR CONTROL=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.ctl,
    LOG=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.log,
    BAD=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.bad,
    DATA=`echo $line | sed 's/should goes to/ /g' | sed 's/-//g' | awk -F " " '{print $1}'`.txt
    USERID=scott/tiger
    done <tmp.txtAll I am trying to run from the above shell script is : -- PLEASE TEST it if it matches your requirement.
    SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_1.ctl, LOG=text_file_1.log, BAD=text_file_1.bad, DATA=text_file_1.txt USERID=scott/tiger
    SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_2.ctl, LOG=text_file_2.log, BAD=text_file_2.bad, DATA=text_file_2.txt USERID=scott/tiger
    SQLLDR CONTROL=text_file_3.ctl, LOG=text_file_3.log, BAD=text_file_3.bad, DATA=text_file_3.txt USERID=scott/tigerRepeating my assumptions, I assume you have all those files required for SQLLDR process to run (ctl file, data file...)

    el file use java.i can use .csv input the date to
    excel.but i want to know how to format it.
    thanks
    JoveIf I understand your question correctly you need to know the format of a .csv file for use in an Excel spreadsheet. A .csv file is a comma-delimited file so all that you need to do is write your data elements to the file with commas in between them. Having done something similar in the past, let me warn you that when Excel is reading your file, it uses some characters other than commas as field delimiters. for example, / : and ; are treated as commas. To defeat this, you will need to surround fields containing those characters in double quotes.
    Hope that helps
