How to read a files in directory and its subdirectories

I wants to read all files in directory, its subdirectory and further till end the files in the subdirectory of subdirectories.
I have some idea the I can do this by using recursive function, using the functions isDirectory(), File.list() etc.
How much you can please help me. (via code of logic)

import java.io.*;
import java.net.*;
public class MyCon
public static void main(String args[]) throws
IOException
File file=new File("c:/");
openDirectory(file,"");
System.in.read();
static void openDirectory(File file,String indent)
String[] string=file.list();
String path=file.getAbsolutePath();
for(int i=0;i<string.length;i++)
File temp=new File(path+"/"+string);
if(temp.isDirectory())
openDirectory(temp,indent+" ");
else
System.out.println(indent+temp.getName());

How can I read a file with ASCII Special Character into a SQL table using SSIS 2008?

I've tried everything to read this file and am getting no where. Help how can I read this file and load a SQL table?
RS - AscII - 30 (Record Separator)
GS - AscII - 29 (Group Separator)
Thank you for your assistance - Covi
Mark Covian

We can use script component as source/transformation to read the text file and assign the contains to a string. Split the string by chr(30) i.e RS and finally stored into an array or write to the output buffer of the script component.
For example on how to use script component refer this link

Read from file, compare string and return a part

Hello, is there a reasonable good way to read text file containing information, and if string comparison is successfull, return a nother part of the string.
What i have done so far:
set file_name to (path to desktop as text) & "filename.txt"
set F to open for access tiedosto with write permission
set file_information to (read F)
close access F
(i will be moving this to Application Support/Appname/ when i figure it out).
The data in the file is in following format
12234567890Name1
98765432123Name2
92347928347Name3
What im stuck now is:
I need to compare each line the 10 numbers with search string, if match is found, the name part should be returned.
Any idea's?

You already read in the text file, so you need to put the data thru a repeat loop:
repeat with name_part in paragraphs of file_information
-- ((character 1 thru 10 of name_part) as string) is the first 10 digits of name part
if ((character 1 thru 10 of name_part) as string) is search_string then return name_part
end

Reading all files on directory using "utl_file" package...

I need to read all files in directory via PL/SQL. I don't know
name files (are data dynamics create for automation system),
only I know your extensions.
Can I do this using the package "utl_file" or I need to create
program in another language (C, C++, for example)?
Any ideas...
Thanks.

Hi,
you can't do that with the UTL_FILE package (it can't retrieve
file names).
A very simple solution would be, if you created on OS-level a
file which contains the filenames of directory and then read this
file using UTL_FILE. With the information on all file names you
can enter a loop which opens and reads all files again using
UTL_FILE.
A more mundane solution could be to use the features on the iFS.

File Adapter - Reading 2 files from sender and one file to receiver

All - I am looking for a best solution for reading two files from sender and generating one file to the receiver.
Here is the scenario
Sender file s - A is a master file. B is a detail file; B will have a one to many records for each record of File A.. that is the relation ship between 2 files.. I am looking for a better solution to
Example
Input:
File A will have a record like "summary1 ABC 1234"
File B will have a record like "Detailfor Summary1 CDF 8679"
Output:
File C shall have a record "consolidatedofSummary&Detail ABC 1234 8679"
1) read records of master row and detail row from these 2 files
2) do the mapping to the receiver output format which it is creating for records with some harcoded values and based on the values from master and detail rows of sender file
if I can accomblish reading sender files and do the mapping to the receiver , assume that mapping to the receiver format would not be cumbersome.
please help me...
Thanks

Hi Gopal,
Ur approach to the interface is perfect.... Go ahead.
For selecting multiple files in source use Advanced Selection for files.. and specify the directory paths and also the file name shema...
This will fetch the 2 files into the integration engine... then u map the 2 source files to one target file(2:1 mapping).
Specify accordingly the receiver side FCC and test it end to end...
If u face any prblm post here... some1 will help u out..

HOW TO READ MULTIPLE FILES FROM DIRECTORY

i have a directory with 100 .sql insert scripts.i want to read all .sql files from directory and execute the insert script automatically.

Create directory and write files to it

i have installed tomcat 3.2.3 and am using ms access as databse.
through my jsp code i need to create random directories on the server and write files to it(need to have write access on the directories).
how do i do it?? thanx in advance.

You can include java.io in ur jsp page only using
<%@ page language="java" import="java.io.File %>
then u can create directories on the fly on the server using
mkdir(s) method of the FILE Object.
You will have to specify the path while creating a File object.
You will get the application's path using
application.getRealPath() method .... to wich u can append
whatever u will like...
Once u got the directory u can also create files using file object
Hope this is of any help...
Feel free toa sk if i could not satisfy u...

Powershell read CSV file line by line and only first header

I have a CSV file, which reads like this:
read, book
read1, book1
read2, book2
I want to read only the first value, before comma one line at time,
meaning first time it will be
read
read1
read2
no headers and i want to pass that value to a variable for a if condition.
I have script it read line by line but it reads both values before coma and after line by line, so instead of having three values i'm ending with 6 values.
$file = Import-CSV c:\script\server.csv
$file | ForEach-Object {
foreach ($property in $_.PSObject.Properties)
$property.Name
$property.Value
#replace = $property.Value

If you can work with headers then do so as it will make your life easier.
with a csv file called server.csv like this:
headername1, headername2
read, book
read1, book1,
read2, book2
and this bit of code
$file = Import-CSV c:\script\server.csv
#output to host, file or directly pipe the command above.
foreach($cell in $file.headername1){ if($cell -eq $something){ }}
will evaluate the content of each cell to $something.
This is because Powershell will grab the first row and claim that as a header name.
So whatever you put in cell A1 in excell will end up as name of the first collumn and its corresponding property (e.g. $file.A1 oor $file.headername1 if you will).

Read from one file ... and write

I had written below code to read from a file
which has input in below format...
$ filla
% dillla
I wrote a code to read from the below file and I want to write into another file...
in another format...like
filla, $
dilla, %
I wrote as below... but my code doesn't work....i commented most of the code becoz I doubt ....
I read the file...line by line...
each line has two words one is special characters($ or %) and the other is some name... separated by space..
I stored both in different arrays...and thought to write them in output file...
import java.io.*;
public class data
 public static void main(String args[])
 int kMaxLines = 60000;
 String[][] valuePairs = new String[2][kMaxLines];
 String symbol [] = new String[kMaxLines];
 String name [] = new String[kMaxLines];
 int k = 0;
 try
 FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("c:/inputs.txt");
 DataInputStream datastream = new DataInputStream(fstream);
 BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(datastream));
 //FileWriter output = new FileWriter("c:/output.txt");
 //BufferedWriter bw = new BufferedWriter(output);
 String names;
 String strLine;
 int line = 0;
 while ((strLine = br.readLine()) != null)
 String temp_strs[] = strLine.split(" ");
 for (int j = 0; j < 2; j++)
 valuePairs[j][line] = temp_strs[j];
 //System.out.println(temp_strs[0] + " " + temp_strs[1]);
 symbol[k]= temp_strs[0];
 name[k]=temp_strs[1];
 line++;
 k++;
 for (k=0; k < kMaxLines; k ++)
 System.out.println(symbol[k]+ "" + name[k]); // when I print it is giving null value...
 } // so what I do to get those values into global array...
 datastream.close();
 // to write to file
 //String names_str;
 //bw.write("@relation train");
 //for(k=0; k<kMaxLines; k++)
 // names_str = names+""+name[k];
 //bw.write("@attribute names" + " {"+names_str+"}");
 //bw.write("@attribute class {+,-}");
 //bw.write("@data"+"\n");
 // for (k=0;k<kMaxLines; k++)
 //bw.write("name[k]+","+symbol[k]");
 catch (Exception e)
 //file not found exception...
 e.printStackTrace();

Why the multiple arrays?
I'd just read it into List<String[]>... an extensible collection of "the fields on each line"... then you just write them out as required.
 second-field + comma + first-field.
I suggest your next move should be to take a backup copy of your current class then rip-all that commented-out code out of it, and reformat it properly... starting from a clean(er) slate... then try swapping over to a List<String[]> instead of that cumbersome String[][] matrix.
Try that... if you get stuckeroonied then don't be afraid to ask again.
Cheers. Keith.

Read form file ok, try to write to same file : FileNotFound

My application starts reads an xml file. When I try to write back to the XML file I get
javax.xml.transform.TransformerException: java.io.FileNotFoundException: file:\C:\Documents%20and%20Settings\alzoid\My%20Documents\Netbeans%20Projects\Laptop\UserSettings.xml (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
I did SOP for file.getAbsolutePath() before it read and writes and the ouput is the same:
"C:\Documents and Settings\alzoid\My Documents\Netbeans Projects\Laptop\UserSettings.xml"
Here is the code that reads (works):
public void fillToFile() {
        xmlFile = new File(TO_FILE_NAME);
        try {
            if(xmlFile.exists()) {
                setToPocketPC(db.parse(xmlFile));
            } else {
                createToPocketPC();
        } catch (SAXException se) {
                   se.printStackTrace();
        } catch (IOException ioe) {
            ioe.printStackTrace();
    }Here is the code that throws the exception:
private void writeDocumentToFile(Document doc,String fileName){
       try {
        xmlFile = new File(fileName);
        System.out.println(xmlFile.getAbsolutePath());
        source = new DOMSource(doc);
        result = new StreamResult(xmlFile);
        transformer.transform(source, result); //fails here
        xmlFile = null;
        source = null;
        result = null;
       } catch (TransformerConfigurationException tce) {
           tce.printStackTrace();
       } catch (TransformerException te) {
           te.printStackTrace();
       } /*catch (IOException ioe) {
           ioe.printStackTrace();
    }The strange thing is I tested the read/write last week and it worked. I did not change any code. If I copy the file:\c:\Documents%20and%20Settings.... Path into windows explorer it finds the file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Al

I'm not sure why either, though the API docs mention "takes File to populate a StreamResult", which really does not make any sense. The File would be populated by the StreamResult. The way it is written would only make sense, at least to me, if the File was being used as input.
Glad I could help. Best of luck.

Count files in Directory and the number of files in each sub directory

Hello,
I trying write a method which will start at a root of a file and count all the files in that directory. Then count all the files in each sub directory.
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FilenameFilter;
import java.io.IOException;
public class RunScan {
 * @param args
 public static void main(String[] args) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 File file = new File("/home/robert/count");
 File[] files = file.listFiles();
 traverse(files);
 printfiles();
 private static int totalNumFiles = 0;
 private static int totalNumDir = 0;
 private static int filePerDir = 0;
 private static int subDir = 0;
 private static void traverse(File[] files) {
for(int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if(files.isDirectory()) {
 totalNumDir++;
 printDir(files[i].toString());
 traverse(files[i].listFiles());
totalNumFiles++;
filePerDir++;
 private static void printfiles(){
 System.out.println("total files "+ (totalNumFiles));
 System.out.println("totls sub dir "+ totalNumDir);
 private static void printDir(String dirName){
 System.out.println("Total Files in "+dirName+" "+filePerDir);
 filePerDir = 0;

Hint: Google "visitor pattern." This gives clues how to build a re-usable solution that can you use for future traversals that do things other than just file counts. Here's a teaser of an simple interface:
public interface TreeVisitor {
* Processes a single file or directory. Tip: If you want to track the number of
* items processed, this function is the best place to update a counter.
* Implementors of this method should not throw checked exceptions.
* @param item The file or directory process.
* @param depth Number of levels below top of traversal tree (0 = top of tree).
public void visit(File item, int depth);
}
