How to save JTextPane contents to a file ?

Hello,
I'd like to save the content of a JTextPane document into a buffer then to save it into a Database Column (I'm using MYSQL).
If I'm using the getText() method, all attributes (color, font, and so forth) are lost
I have also tried to use the write(Writer) method into a ByteOutputStream, but here again, attributes are lost.
Thanks to anyone who may provide me with an example.

While the RTFEditorKit allows you to save files all with the same styling, the HTMLDocument class (if set as your JTextPane's StyledDocument) and HTMLEditorKit (works for both default StyledDocuments (on a more limited basis, I believe) and HTMLDocument's) allow you to save heterogeneous styling. However, it does NOT support the StyleConstants.ComponentAttribute, and does not provide a satisfactory exception when you attempt to use them (at least last time I checked - attempting to insert a component into an HTMLDocument yielded a NullPointerException, which wasn't useful at the time, but now that Java's gone open source or whatever, it's much more useful...).
So anyway, the point is, you can probably just use your regular old JTextPane combined with HTMLEditorKit.write() and HTMLEditorKit.read() methods. You will need to translate components into some sort of text (if they're Serializable, just write them to a ByteArrayOutputStream and convert it into a String, add some custom escape-char-like magic, and you're there) before using the write method (and of course, translating it back after you read it in).
Hope this helps.

How to save the contents of a file(not a text file)

Hi all, I want to save the contents of a file(,png file, not a text file) as a field in a class. Shall I have it as a string or byte array or something?
I have tried saving a file in a string but there were some problems with loading the file from a different platform. Following is my code.
        String string;
        try {
            StringBuffer sb = new StringBuffer(1024);
            char[] characterArray = new char[1024];
            BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
            while(br.read(characterArray) != -1){
                sb.append(String.valueOf(characterArray));
            br.close();
            string= sb.toString();
        } catch (IOException ex) {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }and I use the following code to recover the string back to a stream, and save that stream back to a time later.
    ByteArrayInputStream bais = new ByteArrayInputStream(map.getBytes());I realized that because this file is not a text file, the string could cause some problems. But anyone could tell me if I should use a byte array or someting? and how?
Any help would be appreciated!
Cheers,
Jing

You should use a byte array, and the binary streams (InputStream a& OutputStream). Never use Strings and Reader/Writer if you have binary data.

Hi, Senthil.
This Forum is not a general discussion forum.
You don't believe that the InDesign SDK is a general purpose API. Do you?
I think you must post issues like this where they belong, in this case in a Microsoft Word Forum.

How to store the contents of a file

Hi,
I'm using forms6i and database 10g.
Through forms if a user selects a filename , and clicks a button or something,
the contents of the file should be saved in the database.
The file can be of any type, like .doc,.pdf,.xml,.html etc...
and the contents filed will be of type varchar
Please help me do this..
Thanks

Do you really want to save the "Content" of a file or the file itself? If you try to save the contents of a .doc or .pdf in a column with a VARCHAR2 datatype, you are going to corrupt the contents of the file since these file types have binary data in them as well as text. I think you would have greater success storing the actual file in a BLOB column.
Here are a few Oracle Support documents that discuss how to store and retrieve files stored as BLOBs in the database.
Doc ID: 168277.1 - How to Upload Binary Documents Back to Database BLOB Column from Forms
Doc ID: 330146.1 - How to write BLOBs Stored Inside the Database Out to Files.
Hope this helps,

How to save Android contacts as Excel file on Mac computer?

I want to manage and edit my contacts on my cell phone, my friend suggested me save them as Excel format! So now i am trying this way, but i can't find the right method to do this! Do you know how to save Android contacts as Excel file on Mac computer?

If you want to save Android Phone contacts to Excel format, you can have a try the following method:
Step 1. Connect Your Android Phone to Computer
After downloading and installing the Coolmuster Android Assistant software on your computer, launch it and you will get the program interface prompts you to connect your phone to the computer. Just use a USB cable to connect your phone to the computer and the program will detect the connected phone automatically. If it is the first time to run this software, you may encounter the following picture and be required to enable USB debugging on your phone at first. If your device can be detected by the program, you can directly skip to the next step.
Step 2: Go to the Contacts windows
All your phone data are categorized on the top menu. To transfer Android phone's contacts, you can go to click the "Contacts" icon to enter the Contacts window. Navigate to the left panel and click on the "All Contacts" option, then, all the contacts in your phone will show in list on the right window. Mark the contacts you want to backup on your computer and click the button of "Backup".
Step 3. Start to export contacts to computer at once
Once you click on the "Backup" button, there will be a "Path" dialog appears, asking you to choose an output location where you want to save the exported contacts. Specify an output folder and then click the "Ok" button. Then, all your phone contacts will be exported to the output location immediately, with all the email address, company's name, home address, and more contacts info perfectly kept in the output CSV or XLS file.

How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook?

How to save my emails and adressbook files from an old ibook (bought around 2002) ?
The screen from the old ibook doesn´t work anymore (logicboard problem I guess).
I saved everything else with starting it in target modus. That worked fine.
I want to delete the files after that as well, because I wanna give away the old ibook and don´t want anyone to read my emails!
Little helpers I have:
A running MacBook
External Screen (and cables to connect)
Fire Wire Cable

Don't know how helpful this will be but I often copy mail from one computer to another, I drag the mail from the mail window to the other computers drop box, then from the other computer double click it and mail asks me what I want to do with it, of course without a screen you'd need to use back to my mac.
If you don't have back to my mac running, you could set up a second user account on the newer mac, import everything via target mode as suggested by c above, and then drag the mail to the first user account drop box.

How to save video messages to a file on Mac?

How to save video messages to a file on Mac? Please, help. Thank you.Claire

Claire, I use a Mac w/ the latest copy of Skype and it IS possible to first play the file and then download it. Steps are available for it but it involves some technical wizardry that can be above some muggles. Then I found a post where some some VERY bright person made a small downloaded program for the Mac which once the video message has been played recently, you can run this program and download the file for safe keeping ( ALWAYS BACKUP or store it in the cloud for safety ) Kudos are deserved to user alvarop for this! http://community.skype.com/t5/Mac/Video-Message-Exporter-App/m-p/2351609 It worked for me to download a video message that I recently played back. Let me know if you need any assistance getting it downloaded you can PM me on here and I'll be happy to help with a screenshare. Best Regards,-Shawn G

Do you really need an Excel file (binary) or a simple CSV?
If you just need a CSV then search for DUMP_CSV at http://asktom.oracle.com or at this forum
If you need formatting and/or multiple worksheets then you can use free tools like
https://xml-spreadsheet.samplecode.oracle.com/ or https://exceldocumenttype.samplecode.oracle.com/

}

Thanks both of you for your reply. As suggested by fgb, I use the component.getDocument() , and it works fine.
I haven't tested yet component.write. I'll try later to see the difference.
Now I need to see whether I can re reload it into an empty JTextPane. I have found an example on the web, I'm going to try it.
Many thanks again.

please tell me how and where to use it..How? -- See the IO Tutorials on Sun for the FileReader (and I assume you know how to call setText and append in the JTextArea).
Where? -- In the actionPerformed method (better would be a separate thread that is triggered through the actionPerformed method, but that is probably beyond you at the moment), of course.
Give it a try.

Saving JTextPane contents to a File (Images Also)

How do I save the contents of a JTextPane which contains Images ?
When I try to save, it just saves the text part skips images.
Could someone write a little sample code here ?
Thank you.
Edited by: Butters on Mar 15, 2008 5:29 PM

You get the image, and then write it out. If you are saving loading the images yourself, then save the image before you loose all references to it--while you still have the image in memory, not from the JTextPane.
