Problem of writing data into a txt. file

How can I write the product1 object into the testing.txt?
Product product1 = new Product();
  product1.addNewProduct(1234, "coffee", 0.89, 23, 23.4, "12/12/2008", "catCoffee", "20/11/2007");
  try
    FileWriter writer = new FileWriter("C:\\Documents and Settings\\Charles\\My Documents\\testing.txt");
   // How can I write the product1 object into the testing.txt?
    writer.write("Testing");
    writer.close();
  catch (IOException ex)
      ex.printStackTrace();
  }

Using ObjectOutputStream with a FileOutputStream is relatively easy but it won't produce a "text" file. If your desire is to produce a file that is human readable you'll need to go another route.
by using ObjectOutputStream with a FileOutputStream u will have to read UTF or byte(for String) and write UTF or byte (forString)..
try using
PrintWriter abc=new PrintWriter(new FileWriter(Filename));
/// and to write into filename use
abc.println(String or may be product1.addNewProduct);

  • Time Stamp problem while writing data into the excel file

    Hii, All
                  I am taking the data from the DAQ card of the TOPSCCC with the 8 ms of scanrate for each channel and there are total 16 no of Analog channels in the Card, now i am acquiring the data from the card, time stamping it and writing it into the excel file, which is tab delimited, now the problem is, the data which are in the excel file have the same timestamp for 4 to 5 continuous records, instead we want each data with the different and continuous time stamp with same difference of time stamp between two records, mean if it is difference of 8 ms then it should be the 8 ms for all, but here it is taking the differnce of 16 ms for two samples and giving same time stamp for four to five records and that shouldn't happen, here i am attaching my vi, drivers for the cards and Excel file with the data, can you please give me any suggestion how to do it?
           Please help me i require this suggestion as early as possible, i am requiring it urgently.
    Thanks in Advance,

  • Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

    I have a folder of images and I would like to export the File Name, Resolution, Dimensions and Color Mode for each file into one text file. Can I use Bridge to export image data into a .txt file?

    Hello
    You may try the following AppleScript script. It will ask you to choose a root folder where to start searching for *.map files and then create a CSV file named "out.csv" on desktop which you may import to Excel.
    set f to (choose folder with prompt "Choose the root folder to start searching")'s POSIX path
    if f ends with "/" then set f to f's text 1 thru -2
    do shell script "/usr/bin/perl -CSDA -w <<'EOF' - " & f's quoted form & " > ~/Desktop/out.csv
    use strict;
    use open IN => ':crlf';
    chdir $ARGV[0] or die qq($!);
    local $/ = qq(\\0);
    my @ff = map {chomp; $_} qx(find . -type f -iname '*.map' -print0);
    local $/ = qq(\\n);
    #     CSV spec
    #     - record separator is CRLF
    #     - field separator is comma
    #     - every field is quoted
    #     - text encoding is UTF-8
    local $\\ = qq(\\015\\012);    # CRLF
    local $, = qq(,);            # COMMA

    print map { s/\"/\"\"/og; qq(\").$_.qq(\"); } @dd;
    # print data row per each file
    while (@ff) {
        my $f = shift @ff;    # file path

  • Problem while writing to fixed length flat file from xml

    Hi,
    I have a problem in writing data into a flat file of fixed length...
    My input is a xml file and i want the output as a flat file. I am successful in converting the xml into flat file... But the main problem is, i am unable to insert spaces in between my fields in the flat file.
    The data in the flat file comes without spaces... Any suggestions on writing the schema...
    Regards
    Surya.

    Have a look at this doc
    http://otndnld.oracle.co.jp/document/products/as10g/101310/doc_cd/integrate.1013/b28994/nfb.htm#BGBBAJFD
    your element should be something like this, it pads with a space using the paddedBy expression
    <xsd:element name="C1" type="xsd:string" nxsd:style="fixedLength" nxsd:length="4" nxsd:paddedBy=" " nxsd:padStyle="tail" />if having trouble post what you want the file to look like, and the xsd you are using.
    cheers

  • Problem while writing data on xls file using jxl API

    Hi,
    I am getting problem while writing data on excel file using jxl api.
    When i write data on file and all handles associated to the file are closed, file size increases but when i open the file nothing is written in it and when file is closed manually from excel window, file size decreased to its original that was before writing data.
    here is code:
              FileOutputStream os = new FileOutputStream(this.dirPath + this.fileName, true);
              WritableWorkbook this.workbook = Workbook.createWorkbook(os);
    after writing data following handler are closed:
    this.os.flush();
                        this.workbook.write();
                        this.workbook.close();
                        this.os.close();
                        this.os = null;
    can any body help me.
    Thanks in advance

    Err, I did help you. I did understand your problem; and I solved it for you. What was missing was that you apparently made no effort to understand what you were being told. Or even consider it. You just argued about it, as though you were the one with the solution, instead of the one whose code didn't work.
    And the other thing that was missing was the part where you said 'thank you' to me for solving your problem. Somewhat more appropriate than biting the hand that fed you, frankly. I do this for nothing, on my own gas, and it's extremely irritating when people keep asking about problems I have already solved for them. I am entitled to discourage that. It's part of making them more efficient actually.
    But it happens often enough that it also makes me think I'm just wasting my time. Probably I am.

  • Problems reading xmp data into dng files

    Hi there,
    I am working on a Mac and have exported files as lossy dng for colour correction externally. They have done the work for LR 5 process (I am using CC) and returned xml files. I cannot seem to read this data into the dng files for further editing in Lightroom. I have tried re-importing them and I have tried reading metadata from file. Any help would be appreciated as I usually simply read the xmp to the original RAW but the RAW files are currently on an external drive in another country!!!
    Thanks,
    Andy

    Moominman wrote:
    I am basically trying to export xmp files from a set of low resolution dng files so that I can access my Lightroom edits in the RAW files. I have separated the RAW and dng files in different folders
    Hi Andy,
    I dunno how best to get extracted xmp files into the raw folders, but if you are comfortable with exiftool, you can use it to extract xmp sidecars from DNG files.
    If you want a turn-key solution which does not required you to futz with exiftool, then consider a free plugin I wrote:
    robcole.com - xEmP
    It will allow you to create xmp sidecars with all your DNG adjustments and metadata (which can then be applied to the non-dng raw files).
    However, if you won't need the DNGs in your catalog afterward, then the easiest way is to convert them back to proprietary raw format using this plugin (also free, and I wrote it):
    robcole.com - UnDNG
    Conceptually, you can think of it as converting the DNGs to proprietary raw format, but note: it doesn't convert anything, it just allows existing raw files that are NOT in the catalog, to replace the DNGs that are in the catalog.

  • How continuously write data to a txt file

    hello, 
    first of all, sorry for bad English, but I have a problem to continuously write data to the txt file.... I have one 2D array with values of some function and based on 2 sliders (values of the sliders) i want to interpolate value using bilinear method... and after that value of the sliders, interpolated value, and value of the nearest points i wish to write to txt file ... for every 2-3 seconds perhaps it would be ideal to be formated as :: 
    x   y   f     f1   f2   f3   f4
    but... first i have problem with writing data, because every time it deletes old data and just write new one and it's not horizontal... I'm very very new at this (it is obvious) and any help will be very appreciative  
    thanks  
    Solved!

    Hi there,
    May I suggest you start with the LabVIEW tutorial?  Or perhaps this one?
    I say that because 1) you said you're new at this, and these tutorials are great for getting started; and 2) you don't seem to understand the concept of dataflow.
    A structure, such as a loop or subVI or function, cannot start executing until it has all of its inputs available.  Therefore, the loop which contains your file write (bottom loop) cannot execute until your top loop is done executing, because it depends on inputs from your top loop and those inputs aren't available until the top loop is finished.  Thus, your file will contain only the data from your final top loop execution.  You might be thinking that your loops are executing in parallel.  They are not.  Your file loop is executing after your data loop has finished...that is to say, your file loop executes exactly once, after you press your stop button.
    You can do two things here to fix that:
    1.  You can move your file write into the top (data) loop. (probably easier for now)
    2.  You can use a queue to transfer the data from your top (data) loop into your bottom (file write) loop. (more complex, but a better idea in the long run)
    One other thing.  Move the "open file" function outside the loop.  Opening and closing the file in each loop iteration will cause problems.  Open the file once.  Write to it in each loop iteration.  Close it when you're done.  Like this:
    Note that this is not complete code...you need to provide the data to write.  This is just to show you how to set up a continuous file write.
    Ok, start with the tutorials and we'll go from there.

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

  • Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file

    how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
    thanks

    Hey Kevin!
    Using FORMS.TEXT_IO to bulk load data from a file strikes me as re-inventing the wheel. It is just about justifiable in a self-service environment, but I regard the EXTERNAL TABLE is a better solution for that situation as well.
    The same applies to UTL_FILE. I think the ability to read text with UTL_FILE is primarily intended for read file-based configuration or file manipulation/processing rather than data loading.
    Re-writing a text file into SQL statements is too much like hard work (even with an editor that supports macro definition and regular expressions) for no real benefit. You lose all the bulk load peformance you would get from SQL*Loader. But for QAD I'd probably let you off with it.
    You missed out one obvious alternative: using Java to turn the contents of an XML file into a CLOB and inserting it into a table which is read by a PL/SQL procedure that parses the XML records and insert the retrieved data into a table.
    Stay lucky, APC

  • Error writing data in a flat file using UTL_FILE feature

    Hi All,
    I have written a package which fetches data from four different cursors and inserts into a temporary table.
    Now this temporary table is used to write data in a file using the UTL_FILE feature.
    fhandler :=
    UTL_FILE.fopen (l_path,'Demand_Transactions_'
    || TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'YYYYMMDDHH24MI')
    || '.txt',
    'w',
    max_linesize => 32767
    This table has 62593 records and when it starts writing data into the file from the table it errors out after writing 30045 records with the error - ORA-01722: invalid number.
    Can anyome please advise me is it because of the max_linesize => 32767. If not then what can be the possible reason.
    Any help in this would be highly appreciated.
    Regards,
    Shruti

    The error would indicate that you have a character to number conversion going on somewhere but the characters are not numeric so it's failing that conversion.
    This doesn't sound like a UTL_FILE issue, but more to do with how you are building up your strings to output to the file.
    You would need to show us your code that builds up the lines you are writing out, with details of the datatypes of any of the columns/variables included in that.

  • How to read and write a string into a txt.file

    Hi, I am now using BEA Workshop for Weblogic Platform version10. I am using J2EE is my programming language. The problem I encounter is as the above title; how to read and write a string into a txt.file with a specific root directory? Do you have any sample codes to reference?
    I hope someone can answer my question as soon as possible
    Thank you very much.

    Accessing the file system directly from a web app is a bad idea for several reasons. See http://weblogs.java.net/blog/simongbrown/archive/2003/10/file_access_in.html for a great discussion of the topic.
    On Weblogic there seems to be two ways to access files. First, use a File T3 connector from the console. Second, use java.net.URL with the file: protocol. The T3File object has been deprecated and suggests:
    Deprecated in WebLogic Server 6.1. Use java.net.URL.openConnection() instead.
