How to read the particular line in a file !!!

i want to read the 5th , 8th or some other line number of the file. This file is consists of many data arranged by line number. I'm able to retrieve the LineNumber of the file but i'm not able to point the curser to that particular line so it can read that line only.
i'm pointing the cursor to that particular linenumber as in.setLineNumber(5) it moves to that particular line but after that when i try to read that particular line i'm not able to read that line.
could any one tell me which is the other way to read that particular line or in this only where i'm doing wrong...
i need this urgent....

As is typical of people who claim their problem is urgent, you posted this in the wrong forum (it doesn't have anything to do with JSP) and you left out any details that might help us understand what you are blathering about.
So take a deep breath. It isn't urgent. There is no rush. Now formulate a proper description of your problem and post it in the proper forum.

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 read the last line in a txt file?

Dear all,
I want to read the last line in a txt file. There are thousands of lines in this file. What I want is to move the file pointer directly to the last line of the file. But I did not know how do to it. Can anybody help me out?
Thank you very much!

If the file is coded as ASCII or one of the encodings that maps a single byte to a char then the following class will assist you

How to read the second line in a .txt file with bufferedReader?

hi,
i am not the best in speaking english and programming java :)
so, just try to make sense of my question:
Im using a BufferedReader to read a .txt file.
the .txt file has 5+ different lines, and each line has 6 tokens (separated with ; )
My java file has 6 textFields and each textfield is filled with one of the 6 different tokens.
and my problem is:
I want my buffered reader to read the next line (with 6 new different tokens) by pressing a button.
if somethings not understandable, just ask :)

maybe its easier to help me, when i publish my code, so here it is:

How to read the last line in a text file using text_io?? please help

Dear all
I made a procedure that append text into a text file on the operating system.
the text file grows rapidly. It contains now about 200,000 line . I need to read the last line only . In other wprds i need to go direct to the last line to read some values. Is it possible??
Please help

Hello,
If you know the number of the line you want to read, I can sugget you to use the MORE dos command or the TAIL unix command that redirect to a temporary text file
Example to create a file that contains the 200010th last lines :
(Client)Host( 'MORE the_file_name.txt +200010 > small_file.txt') ;So you have only to read the small file with the TEXT_IO functions.

How to read the contens of an ini-File

How can I read the contens of an ini-File?

Depends on what you have in the file - ini file with or without sections.
Without sections: you may be able to read it as a property file.
With sections: You'll have to implement a class to read and parse the file, and a class to hold the parsed results.
If you have to build your own objects, I found the easiest way was to read each line and use the StringParser to pick it apart. My data holding object was pretty simple -
o A Vector to hold Section objects.
o A Section object with a Vector to hold each Entry object.
o An Entry object
o Appropriate getters and setters to look up stuff I wanted or to insert it.
My model for the object was the Borland C++ IniFile object, but I separated the I/O so that I could read or write from any stream I wished, including just a long string.
o an internal object for section, an internal object for entry

Help on how to read the content of an XML file from the payload

I have a receiver channel / mail adapter, that sends e-mails with a XML attachment.
Im trying to write a Bean, that should make it possible to rename the attached XML file dynamically.
In the Bean I want to read the content of the attached XML file, it could be the order number.
The filename should then be Order number.XML.
Can anyone help me with how to read the content of the XML file from the payload.

How to read the particular row in table..

HELLO ALL
I have a dynamically generated table which is filled with values
from a Bean. The next step is to select a row in that table by
clicking on a check box. The problem is that i want to read 3
values from the selected row. I can get the value from the checkbox
button but i always get the values from the first line in the
table. Is there someway to select an entire row and submit in in
the request so i can read the values from the selected row?

Yes,
but the checkbox values are printing rightly.I mean if user checks 1,5 rowed checkbox in next jsp printing 1 and 3.But the rowed values are printing sequence manner,not the chcked ones.

How to read the tail of a large file?

My application writes to a log file. I want to read the end (say last 100 lines) of the logfile and display it on a web page. I dont want to read the entire log file as everything apart from the last 100 lines is irrelevant. Is there a way to do this? The only thing i can think of is to do this on a linux command prompt "tail logfile.txt > storehere.txt " and then read storehere.txt. Not ideal. Is there a way i can read the last 100 lines or better still have a continous stream of the last 100 lines of the log file?

This question has been ask here before; but, I am not sure that a good solution was found.
Assuming the file does not have fixed length records (then it would be easy), the only thing I can think of is:
Use RandomAccessFile to read the bytes in the file backwards and store them until you have processed 100 lines. In reality, you would probably not want to read one byte at a time but read "chucks" of the file into a buffer and process those bytes. Similar to how BufferedInputStream works only getting the bytes in reverse order.
I.E.
Create a class that returns a byte of the file in reverse order. This class would fill a buffer with a chuck as needed.
One big issue with this idea is if you are reading Unicode characters - multiple bytes would need to be consumed to pass back a character and since not all Unicode characters are 2-bytes, this could get messy.

How to read the contents of a text file and populate the data in a table ?

Hello All,
Can anyone advise on how to acheieve the above ? I am trying to read in a text file (CSV) and have the contents populated to the respective UI elements in a table. Any help is greatly appreciated.
from
Kwok Wei

Hi,
Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in a table.
1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
try{
FileReader f =new FileReader("");
BufferedReader r=new BufferedReader(f);
String names=r.readLine();
Vector Names=new Vector();
// Use Tokenizer and store all the names i a vector//
for(int i=0;i<Names.size();i++){
IPrivate<<VieName>>.INameElement ele=wdContext.createNameElement();
ele.set<<Name>>( Names.get(i).toString());
wdContext.NodeName().addElement(ele);

How to read the 'date modified' of a file?

I need to read the date that a file was modified so I can see
if it has been updated. The file is just a text file in the same
directory as my swf file.
I tried using FLfile.getModificationDate, but it doesn't seem
to work. Every way I write the code, I get no response. It does not
seem to find the file. I even tried using the FLfile.write as a
test, without luck. I searched and the FLfile.dll is on my machine,
but I wonder if I have to somehow let the flash file know its
there.
I also tried using FileReference.modificationDate, but from
what I have come to understand, I need to populate the
FileReference object and that populating the FileReference object
involves uploading or downloading the file. I'm not up or
downloading the file, I just need to know if it has been updated by
other software. Otherwise, how do I populate the FileReference
object. Can it check on dates without up or downloading?
Does anyone have an idea of the best way to read the date
that the file was modified?
Thank you.

quite right, you need to create a Project (and a JavaScript

then you can use the JavaScript that you want to use

How to read the extended-cache-config.xml file. in C++ API

I want to create my own XML config file and define the config values in that, so that C++ Client (using Coherence C++ API) application can access the config files.
Also how to get the instance of configuration values which Coherence client has read,
i.e.
TangosolCoherenceOverride=$PATH/examples/config/tangosol-coherence-override.xml
TangosolCoherenceCacheconfig=$PATH/examples/config/extend-cache-config.xml
How to get the instance of this XMLDocument ? and read values from it.
Thanks,
Naveen

Hi,
You can get the cache-config that was read by getting it from the ConfigurableCacheFatory (which you can get from the CacheFactory) via getConfig(). See:
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/352CPP/classcoherence_1_1net_1_1_cache_factory.html
http://download.oracle.com/otn_hosted_doc/coherence/352CPP/classcoherence_1_1net_1_1_configurable_cache_factory.html
There is no way to get the actual XmlDocument object from the cluster that is read for the cluster-config (though you could open the same path yourself).
thanks,
