If reading file as bytes (DataInputStream), how find delimiter?

I have to read a file in as a DataInputStream because it is really two files (one text, one can be a .doc, .jpg, etc) mixed into one. The files are separated by a delimiter which is something like: "--34f5s--a23--34d--". The binary file data is also ended by that delimiter as well. So how would I find the delimiters while not converting the byte stream and losing data?

You're probably not going to like this suggestion...
The only way I can think of off the top of my head is to get the byte array representation of the delimiter, and as each byte passes through your InputStream, compare it with the delimiter array, finite-state-machine-style.
Send the data on if it doesn't match, otherwise keep matching against the delimiter. If you match halfway and the mismatch, send on the bytes that matched as well as the last byte which didn't. If you match to the end of the delimiter, then the first file is (should be) exactly what you sent on.
Alternatively, assuming this is for a MIME-style attachment, is there anything in javax.mail that would do this for you? Or another third-party library?

Reading file containing byte data

I am trying to read a file containing data that is in byte format. I can't look at the file and have no idea what is in there. For my first pass I would just like to see what the format is of the data in characters. Is there an easy way to do this? This is what I have done so far:
//file is read from another method and is passed in here.
try {
BufferedReader f = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String t;
while ((t = f.readLine()) != null) {
byte b[] = t.getBytes();
System.out.println("bytes " + b[0]);
System.out.println("chars " + (char)b[0]);
catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
The output is looking like this:
bytes 72
chars H
bytes 74
chars J
bytes 81
chars Q
bytes -56
chars ?
Which one is the character value of the bytes? I am assuming the char one, but it sure seems like funny values. Also, I want to read the whole line and then get the whole line converted, not just the first byte. Isn't getBytes just getting the first byte? How can I convert the whole line after it is read (f.readLine())?
Thanks.

Well, I tried that and it still gives me just the binary or byte data (I have no idea what kind it is - I know I can't read it when I try to open it with notepad). There is a current application that uses this file and opens it and provides the data when it is opened. I am trying to look thru that code to find out what it does, but it is very confusing. It is written in c.
Any other ideas out there as to how to open and display the correct data in a file like this? When I did the binary data open this is the kind of data I got:
char in new loop Q
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop @
char in new loop
char in new loop
char in new loop @
char in new loop L
char in new loop `
char in new loop :
char in new loop @
I know that data is mostly numbers and maybe a few names, but nothing like that.
Thanks.

Reading file in bytes using FileReader...

Hi,
I am trying to read out bytes value from a .bmp file then i try to change the byte values that i read out to hexadecimal value.
I open the .bmp in Win Hex (a software) but the hexadecimal value does not tally....
public void readByteFile (String path)
Vector in = new Vector ();
try
FileReader reader = new FileReader (path);
int c;
while ((c = reader.read ()) != -1)
String hex = Integer.toHexString (c);
reader.close ();
} catch (FileNotFoundException e) {System.err.println(e);}
catch (IOException e) {System.err.println(e);}
return in;
}

If you want to read the actual bytes from the file then do not use a Reader. That will convert the bytes to characters as if they were text. Use an InputStream instead.

How do I read directly from file into byte array

I am reading an image from a file into a BuffertedImage then writing it out again into an array of bytes which I store and use later on in the program. Currently Im doing this in two stages is there a way to do it it one go to speed things up.
try

            /** BUG 4705399: There was a problem with some jpegs taking ages to load turns out to be
             * (at least partially) a problem with non-standard colour models, which is why we set the

            BufferedImage bi = null;
            ImageReader ir = null;
            ImageInputStream stream = ImageIO.createImageInputStream(new File(path));
            final Iterator i = ImageIO.getImageReaders(stream);
            if (i.hasNext())
                ir = (ImageReader) i.next();
                ir.setInput(stream);
                ImageReadParam param = ir.getDefaultReadParam();

                    if (type.getColorModel().getColorSpace().isCS_sRGB())
                        typeToUse = type;

                    param.setDestinationType(typeToUse);
                bi = ir.read(0, param);
                //ir.dispose(); seem to reference this in write
                //stream.close();

                final ImageWriter iw = ImageIO.getImageWriter(ir);
                if (iw != null)
                    if (ImageIO.write(bi, ir.getFormatName(), new DataOutputStream(output)) == false)
                        MainWindow.logger.warning("Unable to Write Image");
                else
                    if (ImageIO.write(bi, "JPG", new DataOutputStream(output)) == false)
                        MainWindow.logger.warning("Warning Unable to Write Image as JPEG");

                final byte[] imageData = output.toByteArray();
                Images.addImage(imageData);


If you don't need to manipulate the image in any way I would suggest you just read the image file directly into a byte array (without ImageReader) and then create the BufferedImage from that byte array.

How can I delete multiple files at a time from "Finder"

I have copied over my music file to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit Preferences has the right location

I have copied over my music files to a new computer and the music shows on itunes but wont play. When I track where the song is located it is reading the wrong information. How do I change this as Edit>Preferences has the right location?

Select one of the tracks with a broken link, press ctrl-i to Get Info. Say No when iTunes asks if you would like to locate the track, then look at the Summary tab for the location expects to find the file in.
Now try to locate the file in question. The two locations should give a clue as to what to do next.
Here is an example with a file I've deliberately moved from the new layout to the old pre-iTunes 9 layout.
This means iTunes is expecting to find the file at:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
but it isn't there because I've moved it to:
D:\iTunes\iTunes Media\a-ha\Take On Me\01 Take On Me.mp3
which is where it would have lived back in iTunes 8 (though the media folder would have been called iTunes Music back then as well).
If you can provide the expected and actual locations of a broken track I should be able to suggest the easiest way to resolve things.

File History split 1 gig file in to 5 200 meg files, and I can't find how to restore this file

I setup file restore on a Windows 8 computer.
Backed up all the files to a NAS.
Wiped and reloaded 8.1 pro and did a file restore.
All of my files, except one large file, restored.
The file that didn't was a 1 gig TrueCrypt (VeraCrypt) file in the root of "documents".
When I browse out to my NAS, I see 5 files.
One of them is named: TCvol (2014_12_09 02_17_05 UTC) and it is 200 megs.
I believe these 5 files need to combine themselves again to restore my original 1 gig file, but I cannot find any documentation.
Pretty much everything shows that you open file history restore and your data should appear there.

Hi,
It should be caused that Windows Server Backup cannot recognize the encrypted file - I cannot confirm how the third party application (TrueCrypt) work, it seems that it will split an encrypted file into several files and Windows Server Backup only restored
files physically. You can contact TrueCrypt support about this issue.
I searched on your website and found several threads which related to get TrueCrypt working with Windows Server Backup. Specifically to your current issue you can confirm with them about any suggestion to get file recovered or how to do such backup job for
a healthy recovery.

My operating system is Snow Leopard, Version 10.6.8. I rearranged files in Adobe Bridge, how do I sinc my Finder?

10.5.8 is Leopard, not Snow Leopard. You need the Snow Leopard DVD;
You can get it only by phone now from Apple.
In the US, call 1-800-MY-APPLE and ask for a sales assistant. Last quoted price was $19.99 for the single-user and $29.99 for the family licence.
For other countries, check here; http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
Don't forget to ask for Sales; the tech support guys can't help.
If you want Lion, rather than Mountain Lion, the same Sales team can give you a download code to use at the Mac AppStore.
To get the App Store, you need to update your new Snow Leopard from 10.6.3 (which is the version on the installer) to 10.6.8 with the combo update; http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Be warned that the upgrades will render a lot of older software unusable, and will need new drivers for printers and scanners in all likelihood.

Were all (or most) of the items in, say, your Documents folder, or your Music folder? If so, you can restore the whole folder via TM. That will put all sub-folders and files back exactly the way they were at the time of the backup. You just have to be careful to pick the right backup (date & time).
Or, if they were scattered through your Home Folder, you can restore that entire folder in the same way.
If you've made changes subsequent to that backup, however, they will be lost in the process. What you can do in that case is, restore to a different location, then compare the two folders, and drag & drop what you want. (To restore to a different location, select the folder in TM, then click the "gear" icon in the TM Finder window, and select +Restore <item selected> to ...+ and you'll be prompted for a restore location.)

Trying to read a file but doesnt know how to get the size of the inputstrem

hi im trying to read a file in a cel this is my code:
fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);
InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();
byte b[] = new byte[1024];
fis.read(b);
fis.close();
fconn.close();
textBox1 = new TextBox("Viendo el Archivo: " + list1.getString(list1.getSelectedIndex()), null, 1024,TextField.ANY | TextField.UNEDITABLE);
                          textBox1.setString(new String(b, 0, b.length));                        i dont want to create always an array of bytes of size 1024 instead i wanna know how many bytes does inputstream object has, how can i know that?

you can either retrieve the whole file at once by determine the file size like:
fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);
InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();
byte b[] = new byte[fconn.fileSize()];
fis.read(b);
fis.close();
fconn.close();
or read every single byte
fconn = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file://localhost/" + actualdir);
InputStream fis = fconn.openInputStream();
ByteArrayOutputStream baos = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
int i = fis.read();
while(i != -1){
baos.write(i);
fis.read();
String content = new String(baos.toByteArray());

New to J2ME, dont know how to read files on phone mem

i check all the .io packages, still cant find any class that would help me to read files on phone memory.
and i see that javax.microedition.media.Manager.createPlayer(String locator), require a string input argu. how can i make this string locator point to a media file on phone memory of TF-card.
i heard Kjava has some packages from j2se, is there any class would help me? plz someone give me a link of Kjava reference, i cant find it anywhere, thx a lot!

oh~~~no!
i am afraid i cant enjoy myself with file conn.
i tried several times, only to get a "Security Exception", and i contacted with moto dev center, they say that unless i have a cert, i cant use file conn API and many other APIs that is defined as restricted!!!
and for the cert, if i have a biz relation with moto, they could give a "Develop Certification", or i must pay a third party to get a cert...
what a world~~~~~~~~~~~is unfair!!!
