How to read a locked file as data is inserted?
I have an application that I wrote to mimic the "tail" functionality of unix systems. It runs in a thread, and waits until data is available on an input stream from a file, then it reads from the stream.
This works for some types of file io, but it does NOT work when another process has say, a RandomAccessFile object accessing the file.
My goal is to be able to mimic the tail functionality, even when the file is being written to, but I'm having trouble. I attempted using the NIO FileChannel object to get a channel and then read the bytes in as a buffer, but the only output I'm getting are black boxes, no text. Am I converting the ByteBuffer to a String incorrectly?
Here is the code:
fis = new FileInputStream(file);
fileChannel = fis.getChannel();
int filesize = (int) fileChannel.size();
buf = ByteBuffer.allocate(filesize);
fileChannel.position(pos);
b = new byte[filesize - pos];
fileChannel.read(buf);
fileChannel.close();
pos = filesize;
try {
buf.get(b);
} catch (BufferUnderflowException ex) {
//nothing
String contents = new String(b);//.replaceAll("{code}
Am I converting the ByteBuffer to a String incorrectly?No.
buf.flip();
buf.get(b);
buf.compact();You always need flip & compact around a get or write operation.

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-Talkpublic 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 read the properties file available in Server File structure in webdy
hi all,
I have developed one webdynpro application. In this application i need to access mdm server to continue. For getting the connection i need to pass the IP addresses.
Can i have code how to read the properties file which is residing in the server file. with out included along with the application. keeping some where in the file structure in the server. I want to read that properties file by maintain the iP addresses and users in properties file based on the key i want to read like below.
servername="abcServer"
username="john"
password="test123"
Please send me the code how to read this properties file from the file structure and how to read this values by key in webdynpro application
Regards
VijayHi Vijay,
You can try this piece of code too:
Properties props = new Properties();
//try retrieve data from file
//catch exception in case properties file does not exist
try {
props.load(new FileInputStream("c:\property\Test.properties")); //File location
String serverName = props.getProperty("servername"); //Similarly, you can access the other properties
if(serverName==null)
//....do appropriate handling
} catch(IOException e)
e.printStackTrace();

How to read from txt file that has words in between?
Hi all,
I am using Labview 8.2.
I would like to read from a text file. I have data (after each time it is has averaged over 100 waveforms) repeatedly stored on to the file. The idea is to further improve SNR in post processing by again averaging the data (that has been averaged over the 100 waveforms).
I can get LabView to save the data repeatedly into the file, so it keeps getting appended.
The problem is to read the data in labview so I can now again average it. The problem is the labview seperates the sets of data with the following:
" Channels 1
Samples 9925
Date 2008/10/28
Time 17:16:11.638363
X_Dimension Time
X0 -3.0125000000000013E-3
Delta_X 2.500000E-6
***End_of_Header*** "
So When I read it, it only sees the first set of data.
Can someone please tell me how to read all the sets of data in labview?
I have attached the file I want to read "acquiredwaveform.txt" and the basic VI (really basic btw) to read the file.
Thanks
Solved!

acquiredWaveform.txt 605 KBThanks again DFGray for the comments.
After the correlations to find the peak positions, i just take the max value. And you are right the accuracy is limited by the number of samples per cycle. Perhaps it would be clearer if you see the code.
1) Basically I get a signal on the up and downslope of the sine wave. On the down slope however the signal is negative, i.e. its is flipped. So before I shift and average...I 'cut' the waveform into 4 (when cycles per buffer = 2, then I get 4 signals, 2 on the up slope and 2 on down slope) bits. Counting from one, I flip the even number, cut it, and but an array of waveforms which is then sent to be convolved and shifted.
2) Array of waveforms are stored to be phased shifted (Convolve and shift vi) and averaged (entire averaging vi which uses the convolve and shift vi as a sub vi).
* Phase shifting doesn't work when I cut and put it together (So something is wrong in cut waveform vi)
* Also if it isn't too time consuming could you give me an example of interpolating and shifting thing.
* Also if you have any comments regarding the following VIs please let me know.
Thanks
Attached is:
1) Cut waveform vi
2) Convolve and shift
3) Entire averaging

How to read several text files at a time
Dear all
Read and write one text file is not a problem, but what confusies me is how to read several text files at one time, in the meanwhile,

For example, assuming I want to load file" cha 1, cha 2 , cha 3, " at one time and show their names, how to hadle with it
I have reviewed some files and it is not helpfulEither with a 'for' loop like in the lib you have attached, or like this attached VI

pl/sql runs inside the database. so your file also should be on the database server file system for you to be able to read.

How to read a trace file?
Can someone point me to a good resource where I can learn how to read a trace file? I have read somewhere that TKPROF can leave some things unattended. Worse, it reports things incorrectly.
I usually recommend use Trace Analyzer (TRCA), Note:224270.1
It includes all the details found on TKPROF, plus additional information normally requested and used for a transaction performance analysis. Generated report is more readable and extensive than text format used on prior version of this tool and on current TKPROF. -

How to read from properties file
Hi,
I am using JSR 168.
while creating a new portlet, a folder gets created with the name as "portlet". Under which is resource package and <PortletName>Bundle.java.
pls tell me how to read from .properties file.
waiting eagerly for some reply

Edited by: user9003827 on Apr 13, 2010 3:42 AMI think i have mixed it up :)
I have looked at it again and believe you are using regular JSP portlets.
Can you tell what you want to achieve by reading .properties file. Are you meaning the preferences of the portlet or what exactly are you trying to do?
Reading propertie files is easy:
// Read properties file.
Properties properties = new Properties();
try {
properties.load(new FileInputStream("filename.properties"));
String myKey = properties.getProperty("yourKey");
} catch (IOException e) {
