How to read properties of file?

On windows, when you right click on any document tiff,jpeg or word etc.... you find various properties like SUMMARY ,KEYWORDS ..etc..
How can I read the values of those properties???

Is there any code snippet that can drive me through or start with???
I have very little idea about JNI and native APIs
How about COM ???..
However, I should be able to read the files and get info from both windows or unix... i.e the files storage shall be mounted on UNIX server from which I need to read..
Any help is appreciated !!!

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,
is it possible to display the name of the text file?
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 helpful

Either with a 'for' loop like in the lib you have attached, or like this attached VI
that's it

How to read multiple dat files.

Hello Everyone!
I am working on a project that requires one file that creates a JFrame with a current file title, JTextFields that accesses two .dat files and a JButton.
The user clicks a JButton to cycle through the first sequential .dat file. When the end of the first file is reached the file is closed, the JFrame title is changed to the second file title as the user continues to click the JButton to continue on viewing the second file?s records, until the second reaches the end of file.
The project requires using Try-Catches to catch the EOF exceptions and IOExceptions and Thread or Runnable.
I have been able to get one file to read and display its records; however, researching back through my text on how to read/write to files I haven?t been able to determine how to get to the end of the file and proceed to the next file without triggering the EOFException. I have even tried multiple Try-Catches (one for each file within the actionPerformed method) and that ends up ignoring the first file records and only displays the second files records.
This is a school project and we have only covered just the bare basics of Java over the last two months. So, any hints that anyone can provide can only be of what type of procedure will be needed or what procedure won?t help to complete the task, without giving away the solution.
I have spent approximately 40 hours of study time on this project and believe that I have definitely run into a major snag.
The following is the code I have so far:
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class StudentRead extends JFrame implements ActionListener
   private JLabel gradStudentList = new JLabel("GRADUATE Student List");
   private JLabel undergradStudentList = new JLabel("UNDERGRADUATE Student List");
   private Font bigFont = new Font("Helvetica", Font.ITALIC, 24);
   private JLabel userprompt = new JLabel("View the students");
   private JTextField idNumText = new JTextField(4);
   private JTextField lastNameText = new JTextField(15);
   private JTextField firstNameText = new JTextField(15);
   private JButton viewRecordButton = new JButton("View Record");
   private JLabel idNumberLabel = new JLabel("ID Number");
   private JLabel lastNameLabel = new JLabel("Last name");
   private JLabel firstNameLabel = new JLabel("First name");
   private Container con = getContentPane();
   DataInputStream gradStudentInStream;
   DataInputStream undergradStudentInStream;
   public StudentRead()
      super("Read Student Records");
      try
         gradStudentInStream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("GradStudents.dat"));
         undergradStudentInStream = new DataInputStream(new FileInputStream("UndergradStudents.dat"));
      catch(IOException e)
         System.err.println("File not opened");
         System.exit(1);
      setSize(325, 200);
      con.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
      gradStudentList.setFont(bigFont);
      con.add(gradStudentList);
      con.add(userprompt);
      con.add(idNumberLabel);
      con.add(idNumText);
      con.add(lastNameLabel);
      con.add(lastNameText);
      con.add(firstNameLabel);
      con.add(firstNameText);
      con.add(viewRecordButton);
      viewRecordButton.addActionListener(this);
      setVisible(true);
      setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e1)
      String lastName, firstName;
      int IdNum;
      try
         IdNum = gradStudentInStream.readInt();
         lastName = gradStudentInStream.readUTF();
         firstName = gradStudentInStream.readUTF();
         idNumText.setText(String.valueOf(IdNum));
         lastNameText.setText(lastName);
         firstNameText.setText(firstName);
      catch(EOFException e2)
         closeFile();
         System.exit(0);
      catch(IOException e3)
         System.err.println("Error reading file");
         System.out.println("out");
         System.exit(1);
   public void closeFile()
      try
         gradStudentInStream.close();
         System.exit(0);
      catch(IOException e)
         System.err.println("Error closing file");
         System.exit(1);
   public static void main(String[] args)

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 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 a exe file in mac

how to read a exe file in mac

What is the .exe file? Is it a self-extracting WinZip file?
Or is it a Windows program?
The contents of a self-extracting zip file can sometime be extracted by changing the .exe to .zip (no promises).
A Windows program needs to have a Windows environment, as mentioned by Niel.

How to read properties file(key-value) in OSB?

Hi
I have a scenario in which I have to read some properties(key-value) from a file. Earlier whole code was developed in java and its easy to read properties file in java.
But now need to implement this in OSB and performance is very critical in this project.
I followed DVM approached defined in
http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/2010/02/domain_value_maps_in_oracle_se.html and http://blogs.oracle.com/christomkins/2010/02/domain_value_maps_in_oracle_se.html
But it did not work. I have hundreds of properties(key-value pairs) to read and need pass them to the business service along with input of proxy service.
What is the best approach for this (Can not go for db call as performance is very critical)?
Thanks
Vibhor
