Null character in text file
I am trying to read text file in stored procedure. The file in text editor looks like some of the lines have funny character looked like sqare. That character is a null character. When I run my procedure I gives me read error. So I tried to oepn that text file in sql editor window and I found that I displayed part of the file. It didnot display the file right where that character is. This sounds like it does not like that symbolic null character and didnot load rest of the text file.
Any idea ???
Though u state that the file u are trying to read is a text file , from the description it looks as if its probably a binary.Its also possible that the file u are reading has been created by an editor on machine with a diffrent character set or say by editors like word, notepad which do not always save the file in pure in text format.
Whats happening in the sql editor window is that the editor encounters a binary character in the file which represents the EOF (End Of File) on u're system and therefore the editor stops reading the file beyond that point and hence u see "half the file".
Try checking up the source of the file if the file was created and saved in pure text format , if the characterset was converted appropriately on ftp etc.

Want to know how to check for new line character in text file
Hi All,
I`m trying to read data from text file. However I`m not sure whether the data is in 1st line or nth line. Now I`m trying to read the text from the readline. But if text is "" and not NULL then my code fails. So I want to know how to check for new line character and go to next line to find the data. Please help.
Thanks
static int readandwriteFile(Logger logger,String filepath){
BufferedWriter out = null;
BufferedReader in = null;
File fr = null;
int get_count = 0;
try {
if(new File(filepath).exists())
fr= new File(filepath);
System.out.println("FileName: "+fr);
if(fr != null){
in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fr));
String text = in.readLine();
if(text != null){
get_count = Integer.parseInt(text);
in.close();
else{
get_count = 0;
else{
out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(filepath));
out.write("0");
out.close();

}You are calling the readline() only once which means you are reading only the first line from the file...
Use a loop (Do-While preferably)
do{
//your code
}while(text == "") -
I have a JTextArea. I read a file and place the contents into the textArea. The user can change the text in the textArea. The user can then save changes to the text file.
To write to the text file I use:
writer = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter(path)));
writer.print(textArea.getText());
writer.flush();
writer.close();
The new file is written correctly except for whereever there is an
<ENTER> key press, it prints a block like character (a rectangle) instead of going to the next line.
Anyone know the answer to solving this one, I will greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks, JasonYou can do this (it works essentially like the "/r/n", but is platform independant (Use code at your own discretion) :
public void formatAndWrite(String txt) throws IOException {
BufferedWriter buffy = new BufferedWriter(
new FileWriter("out_stuff.txt"));
char[] chars = txt.toCharArray();
StringBuffer text = new StringBuffer("");
String lineSep = System.getProperty( "line.separator" );
for (int i=0; i<chars.length; i++) {
if ( chars[ i ] == '\n' ) {
text.append(lineSep);
else {
text.append(chars[ i ]);
buffy.write(new String(text));
if ( buffy != null ) {
buffy.close();
}... figure the String text argument that the method takes comes from the TextArea.

Myterious character in text file! Please help!
Hello all
I am experiencing a problem identifying a certain character in a text file I have to import.
In the .txt doc the char appears as a square, and when copying the text to MSWord, it seems like a paragraph sign.
But when I'm searching for paragraph signs or line breaks, it is skipping that char, so it must be something else.
Question:
How will I find out what char it is, in order to remove it with StringTokenizer?
I already tried ("\r") and ("\n")
Any ideas will be welcome
Regards
JacoGet the bytes using String.getByes(), print out the value of the byte for the particular character u are looking ,and then u will know which ASCII char it is.
Most likely it would be char(13).
byte [] bytes=s.getBytes();
for(int i=0;i<bytes.length;i++)
system.out.println(byte);
Hope it helps. -
Read a character 1 at a time from a text file
Hi all,
I have tried the following to read 1 character at a time from a text file but it did not work;
int buf_sz = 1;
try
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader( new FileReader( "C:\\bitshift.txt", buf_sz ));
String rd_line = null;
while( (rd_line = br.readLine()) != null)
System.out.println(rd_line + "\n");
}I could only get it to read the whole line by removing the buf_sz when creating an instance of the BufferedReader.
How can I achieve this?
ThanksThe Javadoc for Reader.read()
read
public int read()
throws IOException
Read a single character. This method will block until a character is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character input should override this method.
Returns:
The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws:
IOException - If an I/O error occurs -
Ascii character 129 for newline in the text file
Hi there,
I have java program that makes JDBC connection and reads through a table, write a column in text file, after each column puts delimiter "|"and after each row prints in the next line.
This is the code below.
public void queryRecords() {
Statement stmt = null;
ResultSet rset = null;
try {
stmt = con.createStatement();
int numRows = 0;
File file = new File("/tmp/temp.txt");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file, false);
BufferedWriter pw = new BufferedWriter(writer);
rset = stmt.executeQuery("SELECT * FROM mytable");
ResultSetMetaData rsmd = rset.getMetaData();
int colCount = rsmd.getColumnCount();
while (rset.next()) {
for (int i = 1;i <= colCount; i++) {
String st = rsmd.getColumnTypeName(i);
if (st.equals("DATE")) {
Date d1 = rset.getTimestamp(i);
pw.write(d1 + "|");
} else {
Object o1 = rset.getObject(i);
if (o1 != null) {
pw.write(o1 + DELIM);
} else {
pw.write(DELIM);
pw.newLine();
pw.close();
rset.close();
stmt.close();When i open this Temp.txt file in notepad i see ascii character 129 (rectangular box) instead of the new line. But when i print the file i have each row in a separate line.
Why could this be happening??
Please help...hi,
Try PrintWriter instead :
File file = new File("D:/testing.txt");
//FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file, false);
//BufferedWriter pw = new BufferedWriter(writer);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);
pw.print("aaa");
pw.print("|");
pw.print("aaa");
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
File file = new File("/test/test.txt");
//FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(file, false);
//BufferedWriter pw = new BufferedWriter(writer);
PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(file);
pw.print("aaa");
pw.print("|");
pw.print("aaa");
pw.print("|");
pw.print("aaa");
pw.println();
pw.print("aaa");
pw.print("|");
pw.print("aaa");
pw.print("|");
pw.print("aaa");
pw.close();

Reading in Latin Extended-A character set from a text file
Hello all,
I am writing a small program that reads in a text file containing special characters (beyond the ASCII char set) and converting it into "regular" characters. For example I would read in a uaccent and replace it with a u.
Now I realize that Unicode support is built into Java from ground up but it goes only so far, you actually have to have the relevant character set to read it. My code is as follows:
InputStreamReader inStreamReader = new InputStreamReader(new FileInputStream("input.txt"), "ISO-8859-1");
BufferedReader bufferedReader = new BufferedReader(inStreamReader);
String line = null;
StringBuffer buff = new StringBuffer();
while((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
char[] charArray = line.toCharArray();
for(int i = 0; i < charArray.length; i++) {
int x = (int)charArray;
switch(x) {
case 224: // this is agrave .. we need to replace it with a
buff.append('a');
break;
case 230: // this is aelig .. we need to replace it with ae
buff.append("ae");
break;
///////// and so on
Since I am reading in as ISO-8859-1, this works up to unicode 255. For the rest of the characters, apparently I need a Latin Extended-A and Latin Extended-B character set. How can I get that installed on my Windows OS machine? I am using jdk 1.4.1 on Windows XP. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

Any help is appreciated.If your file has characters outside of 8859-1's range (0 - 255), then it isn't ISO-8859-1 encoded. You need to know what encoding was used to store the file. It sounds like you it actually may be Unicode text, in which case you need to know which encoding (UTF8, UTF16, etc) was used. -
Export to text file shows extra character at line 60, 120 so on
Hi,
I am using Crystal report 13 with .net 4.0 ( Visual Studio 2010)
I have an issue while exporting from CR to Text file,
After every 60 lines some special character is inserted in the text file. That might be the new page character.
Is this the limitation of crystal report that the data is not shown is pages?
If yes, if there any workaround for this?
Can I set the pagination off for the report- either from .net code OR on the report itself so that I wonu2019t see the unwanted character?[CR for VS 2010 .NET SDK developer guide|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/sapCRVS2010/en/crnet_dg_2010_en.zip]

Error importing text file into SQL Server when last column is null
Hello all. Happy holidays!
I'm trying to import a text file into a SQL Server table, and I get the error below when it gets to a row (row 264) that has null in the last column. I'm guessing the null jumbles up the delimiters somehow. The nulls are not errors, and I need to import
them into the table with the rest of the rows. Any idea how I can do that?
Thanks!

WeeLassHi WeeLass,
The error that” Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "XYZ" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".” is generally error message, and the error indicates
that there is data type mismatch issue between the input columns and the output columns.
Based on your description, the issue is that you trying to convert a column contains empty value from string to integer data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1]. Please note that we cannot type an empty value as integer data
type column value, so the error occurs.
To fix this issue, just as you did, we should convert the data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1] back to DT_WSTR or DT_STR, then use a derived column task to replace the current column (UBPKE542). But the expression should
be like below:
LEN(TRIM(UBPKE542)) > 0 ? (DT_I8)UBPKE542 : NULL(DT_I8)
In this way, the data type of the column in SQL table would be int, and the empty value would be replaced with NULL.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

Add one character at a time from External Text file
Hi,
I'm using Flash 8, and I have created a standard Dynamic
field that pulls the text from an external text file using the
LoadVars function and it works fine.
To get the correct effect for the design, I would like to be
able to create the illusion that the characters are being typed out
when the page loads as if someone has started typing and also hear
the "Typewriter Clack" each time a character appears.
The only place I have found an example is on the Syphon
Filter Game website which seems to have created the illusion
perfectly:
http://www.syphonfilterdarkmirror-thegame.com/en_IE/
(Check out the bottom right section)
I could create a Movieclip and add a character each frame
but, I would like to be able to edit the text when required via a
text file or even ASP or PHP if neccessary.
Any help would be grateful.

How to read from a text file one character at a time?
Hello
I wish to read from a text file in a for loop and that on every iteration i read one charachter and proceed to the next one.

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 define special character in html text file used in loadvars

I'm witing some maths software and need to use the division

The variable loaded is then assigned to a text area. Here's
the variable example.

the division sign is missing or a just a box. I've already

There is no declaration within sgm file itself - but while opening the file I use sgml application definition with the following settings:
Default API client: FmTranslator
SGML character encoding: ISO Latin1
XML character encoding: UTF-8
Namespace: Enable
CSS2 Preferences:
Generate CSS2: Disable
Add Fm CSS Attribute To XML: Disable
Retain Stylesheet Information: Disable
Entity locations
Entity search paths
C:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker9\Structure\sgml\isoents
So as you can see, character encoding is set to ISO Latin1 (there is no way to use UTF-8 encoding in sgml files)
Typing ź or ć in sgm document and opening it with framemaker sgml application - I receive: ¿æ and message: "Non-SGML character found; should have been character reference"
Everything works fine when I type f.ex.: &x016B; and insert appropriate reference lines into isolat1.rw and isolat1.ent files
But what I would like to avoid is editing those isoent files each time new character is be needed. -
