HOW TO WRITE AND READ FROM A TEXT FILE???

How can I read from a text file and then display the contents in a JTextArea??????
Also how can I write the contents of a JTextArea to a text file.
Extra Question::::::: Is it possible to write records to a text file. If you have not idea what I am talking about then ignore it.
Manny thanks,
your help is much appreciated though you don't know it!

Do 3 things.
-- Look through the API at the java.io package.
-- Search previous posts for "read write from text file"
-- Search java.sun.com for information on the java.io package.
That should clear just about everything up. If you have more specific problems, feel free to come back and post them.

    Hello All...........,
    I have done some code for applet and servlet communication in which i writes "String " as an object and gets reply from servlet as a string as follows:
               // send data to the servlet
                            String input="hello there.....";
                   URLConnection con = getServletConnection();
                   OutputStream outstream = con.getOutputStream();
                   ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(outstream);
                   oos.writeObject(input);
                   oos.flush();
                   oos.close();
                   // receive result from servlet
                   InputStream instr = con.getInputStream();
                   ObjectInputStream inputFromServlet = new ObjectInputStream(instr);
                   String result =(String) inputFromServlet.readObject();
                             outputField.setText(result);
                           //outputField.setText("good morning");
                   inputFromServlet.close();
                   instr.close();This code is same at servlet end.
    But now i want to pass an int array.How to pass int[] as an object.
    It is giving me error if i pass int array as int array[]={1,2,3}; oos.writeObject(array); Why is it so?

  • How to read from a text file one character at a time?

    Some additional comments:
    You really don't want to read any file one character at a time, because it is highly inefficient. More typically, you read the entire file into memory with one operation (or at least a large chunk, if the file is gigantic) and then do the rest of the operations in memory.  One easy way to analyze it one byte at a time would be to use "string to byte array" and then autoindex into a FOR loop, for example.
    Of course you could also read the file directly as a U8 array instead of a string.

  • How to write and read data in a specific memory location ??

    Hi Everyone:

    Thanks for answering
    RodgerWith Java you cannot write to a specific memory location. Java does not have pointers. If you really want to do it, you need to use JNI, i.e write the required functions in C (or other languages that support pointers) and make those functions available to Java (through JNI). This approach is not portable. You can have a look at http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/index.html

  • Could we write and read from a external drive using a IPad?

    √could we write and read from a external drive using a IPad?

    No, the iPad doesn't work that way. The only thing you can access is camera cards (with the adaptor).

  • Problem with ArrayLists and writing and reading from a .dat file (I think)

    I'm brand new to this forum, but I'm sure hoping someone can help me with a problem I'm having with ArrayLists. This program was originally created with an array of objects that were displayed on a GUI with jtextFields, then cycling thru them via jButtons: First, Next, Previous, Last. Now I need to add the ability to modify, delete and add records. Both iterations of this program needed to write to and read from a .dat file.
    It worked just like it was suppose to when I used just the array, but now I need to use a "dynamic array" that will grow or shrink as needed: i.e. an ArrayList.
    When I aded the ArrayList I had the ArrayList use toArray() to fill my original array so I could continue to use all the methods I'd created for using with my array. Now I'm getting a nullPointerException every time I try to run my program, which means somewhere I'm NOT filling my array ???? But, I'm writing just fine to my .dat file, which is confusing me to no end!
    It's a long program, and I apologize for the length, but here it is. There are also 2 class files, a parent and 1 child below Inventory6. This was written in NetBeans IDE 5.5.1.
    Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me!

    BalusC -- The line that gives me my NullPointerException is when I call the "DisplayProduct()" method. Its a dumb question, but with NetBeans how do I find out which reference could be null? I'm not very familiar with how NetBeans works with finding out how to debug. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.The IDE is com-plete-ly irrelevant. It's all about the source code.
    Do you understand anyway when and why a NullPointerException is been thrown? It is a subclass of RuntimeException and those kind of exceptions are very trival and generally indicate an design/logic/thinking fault in your code.
    SomeObject someObject = null; // The someObject reference is null.
    someObject.doSomething(); // Invoking a reference which is null would throw NPE.

  • Reading from a text file into a 2D array

    How do you read from a text file and put it into a 2D array? Or if someone could guide me to where I can find the information?

  • Getting repeated values when reading from a text file.

    I need to read from a text file. When the token encounters a particular word (command) I need to read the next line and perform some actions. However, this part is working but it is repeating the values again and again until it encounters the next particular word (command).

    Thanks for your interest. Please ignore SetOperations class, it is just the class containing the methods and it works correctly since I checked it without reading from a text file. I marked the part where I think lies my problem in class SetTestOperations.
    The information in the text file is as follows:
    membera
    Hillman
    membera
    Skoda
    membera
    Honda
    membera
    Toyota
    and the result is:
    [0] Hillman
    Number of set members: 1
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    Number of set members: 2
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    Number of set members: 3
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    [3] Toyota
    Number of set members: 4
    instead of just one set:
    [0] Hillman
    [1] Skoda
    [2] Honda
    [3] Toyota
    Number of set members: 4
    Hope it is easier to understand like this.

  • How can I plott data from a text file in the same way as a media player using the pointer slide to go back and fort in my file?

    I would like to plott data from a text file in the same way as a media player does from a video file. I’m not sure how to create the pointer slide function. The vi could look something like the attached jpg.
    Please, can some one help me?

    HI Martin,
    i am not realy sure what you want!?!?
    i think you want to display only a part of the values you read from XYZ
    so what you can do:
    write all the values in an array.
    the size of the array is the max. value of the slide bar
    now you can select a part of the array (e.g. values from 100 to 200) and display this with a graph
    the other option is to use the history function of the graphes
    regards

  • Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
    pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
    pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
    I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
    Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
    void ReadTextFile()
                        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                         InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                         char[] buf=new char[1024];
                         isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                         fstr=new String(buf);
                         String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                          pcode1=st.nextToken();
                               pname1=st.nextToken();
              price1=st.nextToken();
                              sname1=st.nextToken();
         } //close of while loop
                    } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
    MyClassName.pcode1;
    MyClassName.pname1;
    MyClassName.price1;
    MyClassName.sname1

  • How to write and read Japanese on my Nokia E5

    I am trying to find out how I can write and read Japanese on my Nokia E5.
    I even don't knwo if it's possible...
    Does anyone have the answer???

    Hello ikokitakun,
    I believe you have to load a version of software on your phone that has the Japanese language pack in it because the version of software on the phone only has the languages for the region that you bought the phone in. for example if i bought my phone in NZ it would have English, Malaysian and maybe Philippino. There are "dodgey" places you can go to get the software changed but if you do this you void your warranty so be careful. Nokia doesn't condone the changing of regional software.
    Hope this helps
    -Cheers

  • How to load SQL scripts from a text file.

    Hi, i tried several time to load a text file/SQL script with 10 different tables and data, but 10g Express doesen't allows me to do that, any one can direct me or point out to me what i should do or do i need to adopt any special method to to get this done. i am sure there must be some thing where you can upload SQL scripts from a text file (in SQL command editor!). thanks

    Hi,
    see my other answer here:
    SQL command editor doesn't take more than 1 insert command
    This seems to be a duplicate question, right? Or am I missing something?
