Line break in txt file

Can someone help me?
I just wanna make a line break in a txt file...
I tried it this way
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("W:\\write.txt");
fw.write(string1 + "\n" + string2);
fw.close();
I don't know why it doesn't work.
in the file it apears just a black block, but if i copy it in this text area, theres automaticly a line break
thx for your support

Everything has been said, but I thought I'll just make it more clearly :-)
The thing is:
Unix use a line break; <or was it vice versa>
Afterwards someone decided text had to be devided in linebreaks and paragraph;
That's why you have <p> and <br> in html
Now line break just means, I'm on the end of a line and i must break but i don't want to
so please if you can, hold it on the same line when displaying.
So to keep multiple platform oparability it's a good thing to use both:
newline character + carriage return = break to other line

Insert line break into .txt file

Alright, so I am writing out to a simple .txt file, and I
need to force a line break in it. My immediate thought is to use
"\n" as that is a line break. So, I write it out to the text file,
and instead of a line break, I see the "complex character" symbol
(you know, that square that shows up with unknown characters). I
have tried the various ASCII values to no avail, tried \r, even
tried copy-pasting a line break in from notepad. Nothing seems to
be working for me. How do I do this?
_logFile = "\n";
stream = new FileStream();
stream.open(file,FileMode.WRITE);
stream.writeUTFBytes(_logFile);
stream.close();

in windows use "\r\n"
i.e. _logFile = "\r\n";

Creating a JButton for each line in a txt file

I need to know how to creating a JButton for each line in a txt file then add an actionListener to the number of buttons (note they are in a JTable). Here is a clipet of code thanx for the help (note that this is one part of a program i am making there are 2 more classes. If u need them just ask) Thanx:

THANK YOU

so i still do not understand how i would create one
button per each line in a txt flle then read in the
file that the txt file specified.This assumes you know how many lines there are in the file.
If not, modify as per my prior post
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
String[] linesInFile = {"Hello","World","Goodbye","Now"};
JButton[] btn = new JButton[linesInFile.length];
public Testing()
    setLocation(200,200);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel jp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0,1));
    for(int x = 0; x < btn.length; x++)
      btn[x] = new JButton(linesInFile[x]);//<---this would be where file.readLine() goes
      jp.add(btn[x]);
      btn[x].addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
          JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(getContentPane(),ae.getActionCommand());}});
    getContentPane().add(jp);
    pack();
public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

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!

Import Script to skip first 6 lines of a txt file

Hello,
Can anybody help me here? I am looking for an Import Script in Upstream that will ignore the first 6 lines of the TXT file I am importing. FYI - The first 6 lines is the header and I don't want this to be imported as it results in error.
Can you help? Thanks,
James

Even with fixed format files you shouldn't be getting error for the header lines in the file because there is no amount in those lines,, however if you are still getting the error, you can try this, it may help,
There are temporary variables you can use for this kind of needs: RES.PvarTemp1 to 5
so, you will need to put a script in amount field, let's say "getLineNumber"
function getlinenumber
If Len(RES.PvarTemp1) <= 6 Then
RES.PvarTemp1 = RES.PvarTemp1 & "1"
RES.PblnSkip = True
End If
end function
this should do the work, if you are using RES.PvarTemp1 for other purposes in your scripts, use another temp variable.
hope this helps
Bulent

Count the number of lines in a txt file

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file, but I can't do it using readLine(). This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns null even if it is not the end of the file. thanks for the help

I need to count the number of lines in a txt file,
but I can't do it using readLine(). Then just compare each single byte or char to the newline (code 10).
This is because the txt file is double spaced. readLine() returns
null even if it is not the end of the file.Errm what? What do you mean by "double spaced"? Method readLine() should only return null if there's nothing more to read.

Delete a line in a .txt file

Hi, i would delete the first line of a .txt file but i don't understand wich kinf of java.io object i have to use. Now i'm trying to work with BufferedReader in this code:
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
int len;
len = in.readLine().length();
StringBuffer lineSB= new StringBuffer(in.readLine());
lineSB.delete(0,lineSB.length());
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(file));
out.close();
in.close();
...but the file is cancelled totally. Please help me!

Here is your code, with comments about what you are doing:
StringBuffer lineSB= new StringBuffer(in.readLine());
lineSB.delete(0,lineSB.length()); // delete the entire string buffer (not file)
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(file)); // creating a new printWriter for an entirely new file with the -name- in string file (no relation to previous file)what you need to do is something like this:
in.readLine(); // discard the first line
String s = in.readLine(); // get the next line
PrintWriter p = new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(newFileName));
while(in != null) {
p.out(s); // write each line back out to the new file
s = in.readLine();
}Hope this helps.

URGENT! I need to compare a String with a line in a .txt file

I'm a college student and I have a very simple question i guess. I need to write an if procedure which compares if a line of a .txt file is equal to something, but I just don't know how to do it. HELP!

What specifically are you asking for? How to compare two strings?
String s = "cat";
String t = "Cat";
if (s.equals(t))
System.out.println('They are equal'); // does not print out
if (s.equalsIgnoreCase(t))
System.out.println('They are equal'); // prints out

I have a problem with a file receiver adapter. In File Content Conversion I put 'nl' in the endSeparator parameter but when I see the "output.txt" file generated all data are put in same line separated by rectangular characters.
I think this rectangular characters are the line breaks characters. My problem is that the target application don't recognized those rectangular characters like line breaks.
Also i tried to put in endSeparator the ASCII character '0x0A' but the line break neither work.
In file Encoding parameter I tried with every charset encodings like: US-ASCII, ISO-8859-1, Windows-1252... but the line break don't work.
Could be important the operating system over XI is running? SAP and XI is running over a AS400 system.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Hi Prashanth,
Thanks for reply.
I Tried with UTF-8 and it doesn´t work.
I tried with almost all known charsets but none of them work. The line break doesn't appears.
I want write:
line1
line2
line2
If i open the notepad in the file appears:
line1⁭line2⁭line3⁭...
The target application doesn't recognized the ⁭ character like a line break.
but if i copy the text of file and i put it in a doc file or in this forum, for example, the line break appears.

File adapter-How to set line break in text file-split record into two lines

Dear Guru's,
I have to solve following problem with XML (with mulitiple records) to TEXT file scenario using file adapter. I have to output for ever ONE data record in XML always two identical lines in text file. Second line should have a little bit different mapping in few fields like date,... So I did duplicate fileds in my output structure in mapping and need to know how to set line break in the middle and see half of structure in first line and next structure half in second line
My output structure in mapping is:
CASHFLOW
- INTERFACE
- GESELLSCHAFT
- ANWENDUNG
- PRODUKT
- VERTRAG
- BETRAG
- WAEHRUNG
- DIRECTION
- BEWEGUNGSTYP
- FAELLIGKEIT
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG
- ZAHLUNGSTAG
- RENDITE
- INTERFACE2
- GESELLSCHAFT2
- ANWENDUNG2
- PRODUKT2
- VERTRAG2
- BETRAG2
- WAEHRUNG2
- DIRECTION2
- BEWEGUNGSTYP2
- FAELLIGKEIT2
- ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2
- ZAHLUNGSTAG2
- RENDITE2
Question is how can I set on receiving file adapter in Content Conversion Parameters that fields from first structure half INTERFACE...RENDITE should be outputed in one line and fields from second half of structure INTERFACE2...RENDITE2 should start on second line in final text file.
I'm getting at the moment one line only and I need to know how can set line break so that second line starting with INTERFACE2(CA)...RENDITE2 will start in new line.
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000",CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
This should be final output:
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",2,12,2009-01-28,2009-01-27,2009-01-28,"0.0000000"
CA,"0100","7","512",20090127010001,-12454762586.6800,"EUR",1,10,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,2009-01-27,"0.0000000"
My file adapter settings:
RecordsetStructure=CASHFLOW
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE,GESELLSCHAFT,ANWENDUNG,PRODUKT,VERTRAG,BETRAG,WAEHRUNG,DIRECTION,BEWEGUNGSTYP,FAELLIGKEIT,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG,ZAHLUNGSTAG,RENDITE
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
CASHFLOW.endSeparator='nl'
CASHFLOW.fieldNames=INTERFACE2,GESELLSCHAFT2,ANWENDUNG2,PRODUKT2,VERTRAG2,BETRAG2,WAEHRUNG2,DIRECTION2,BEWEGUNGSTYP2,FAELLIGKEIT2,ZINSFESTSTELLUNG2,ZAHLUNGSTAG2,RENDITE2
CASHFLOW.fieldSeparator=,
It wont help if I add two identical structures in mapping because in output i would see for multiple entries section with first lines only and after that section with second lines only. And CASHFLOW is one part of more complex mapping ...
(This is final output structure RecordsetStructure=HEADER,CASHFLOW,CONDITION,REFERENCE,CONTRACT - more sections with different data and all these should have duplicate lines at the end)
Thanks a lot for any help
Cheers
Marian

Hi Ivan,
right, I did test just for sure.
Putting constant 'nl' into field CASHFLOW-INTERFACE1 didnt help - still getting one line instead two lines.
CA ,"0100" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,2 ,12 ,2009-01-28 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-28 ,"0.0000000" ,'nl' ,"GTP1" ,"7" ,"512" ,20090127GTP101 ,-12454762586.6800 ,"EUR" ,1 ,10 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,2009-01-27 ,"0.0000000"
So there is still question. Is there any way (mapping,...) how to output always 2 lines in text file for one record in XML. It always does 1 record in mapping structure = 1 line but we need 2 lines ...
Example:
Input: 4 records in XML
Output: 8 lines in final text file ...
Thanks to you all guys

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:

I think most of us would process this report using pl/sql:
- read the file until you've read the column headers
- read the account info and insert the data in the table until you have read the last account info line
- read the file until you've read a new set of column headers (page 2)
- read the account info and insert the data in the table until you have read the last account info line (page 2)
- etc. until you reach the total block idenfitied by Count On-line ...
- read the totals and compare them with the data inserted in the tableOr maybe like this...
First create an external table to read the report as whole lines...

Line Break for XML File

All,
I am able to generate xml file from an internal table. The problem is, if I open the file in IE everything looks good. When I open it in notepad or notepad++, everything is in one line. Can you tell me how to generate a line break after each tags.

Thanks.
But now, I have a syntax error.

Read a specific line of a txt file using vba not using line by line, Leer una Linea especifica de archivo de texto sin recorrer linea por linea

Buenos días - Good morning
Mi pregunta la escribiré en español y en ingles y espero alguien tenga la solución.
I'll write my question in Spanish and English and I hope someone has the solution.
SPANISH
Creé una Macro en VBA que lee mas de 200.000 archivos de texto (.txt) los cuales tienen diferentes tamaños y cantidad de información dentro de ellos, de cada archivo necesito extraer la información de las 3 primeras lineas y las ultimas 10 lineas, las 3
primeras lineas es fácil ya que uso un "READLINE" 3 veces y voy capturando la información de las tres primeras lineas, para las ultimas 10 lineas las cuales están identificadas por un código inicial hago un ciclo que lee linea por linea hasta que
encuentra el numero 3 en un espacio especificado de la linea y de ahí captura la información de cada linea de texto que serian las 10 ultimas, el problema que tengo es que la cantidad de archivos y de información dentro de los archivos aumenta considerablemente
cada día y por tener el ciclo que lee cada una de las lineas de cada archivo de texto la Macro se demora cada vez mas a medida que aumenta la información y consume cada vez mas memoria de la maquina.
Necesito un método diferente que no lea linea por linea y que yo le pueda decir lea la linea (renglón) numero 1000 (ejemplo) y capture la información a partir de ahí para ahorrar algo de tiempo, o saber cuantas lineas de texto tiene el archivo .txt y decirle
que me lea a partir de (numero total de lineas del txt -(menos) 10 lineas) así me leería las 10 ultimas.
ENGLISH
I created a Macro in VBA that reads more than 200,000 text files (.txt) which have different sizes and quantity of information within them, each file need to extract the information from the first 3 lines and last 10 lines, 3 first lines is easy as using a
'READLINE "3 times and am capturing information from the first three lines, for the last 10 lines which are identified by an initial code I make a loop that reads line by line until it finds the number 3 in a specified area of the line and then capture
the information of each line of text that would be 10 last, the problem that I have is that the number of files and information within files significantly increases every day and having the loop that reads each line of each text file is delayed Macro increasingly
as more information and consume more and more memory on the machine.
I Need a different method not read line by line and I can tell you read the line (row) number 1000 (example) and capture the information from there to save some time or know how many lines of text have the file .txt and tell me read from (total number of lines
of txt - (minus) 10 lines) so I would read 10 last.
Here is the code I currently use
Dejo el código que uso actualmente
Dim fs, f, ts, REG
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
On Error Resume Next
sFilePath = strFolder & "\" & strFileName
Set f = fso.getFile(sFilePath)
Set ts = f.OpenAsTextStream(1, 0)
REG = ts.READLINE
Ciclo para llegar hasta las ultimas 10 lineas
Cycle to reach the last 10 lines
For J = 1 To 200000
REG = ts.READLINE
If Val(Mid(REG, 6, 1)) = 3 Then

Good Morning ryguy72
First thank you so much for your answer, sorry for my english in the question, I tried for a long time to make a code that wasn't so slow to read the last 10 lines, 'cuz most codes used a cycle "For" to read line by line asking if in the specific
position is the character(number) that tells me that i should get started to read the last lines that i need, that takes a lot longer than your code doing a Split with Mydata and storing it in strData(). I don't know how to do this and every forum that
i consulted to read the last 10 lines quickly they made the same read line by line with a Cycle "for".
Thanks again, I gonna improve my code with your help, 'cuz it took about 4 hours to read all the information and everyday ascended more time and memory consumption.
Thanks to everyone who offered their help so disinterested and free, so should always be people with that spirit, I hope someday to be SO good as you programming.

Append a top line to multiple txt files

Hi there,
I have to manipulate txt files in powershell and I may not be very good at it... so any help is welcome ^^
I've got multiple files in a single folder. They are exports from a DB and are formatted like that :
"name1"
"name2"
"name3"
I need them to be :
=1
name1
name2
name3
In short I have to remove all the quotes and add "=1" on the first line of each file.
Here's what I've got so far :
$fileEntries = [IO.Directory]::GetFiles("C:\temp");
foreach($fileName in $fileEntries)
(Get-Content $fileName) |
Foreach-Object {$_ -replace '"', "" } |
Set-Content $fileName
foreach($fileName in $fileEntries)
Write-Output "=1`n" | Out-File $fileName -Append
It appends at the last line, I just can't get the "=1" at the top... any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks !

Hi,
This will do what you're after:
Get-ChildItem C:\Temp -File | ForEach {
$stripped = (Get-Content $_.FullName).Replace('"','')
Write-Output '=1' | Out-File $_.FullName
$stripped | Out-File $_.FullName -Append
Don't retire TechNet! -
