Problem while reading a line from a file

Hi all
I am facing a problem while readinga line from a file ,
line contains some french characters due to which it skips sequence, returning invalid record in a variable
e.g 'abcdefghÛLasasa'
Starting Point of Û is 9 and if
V1:=substr(''abcdefghÛLasasa',9,3)
result is v1='ÛLas' which is invalid
can i anybody help me out in resolving this problem

Hello,
What is your oracle version? And what is your expected result.
I used the same string and this is my output on 10.2.
select substr('abcdefghÛLasasa',9,3) mystring from dual;
MYS
ÛLa
1 row selected.Regards

Hello, 
 
I've been using the PWS to run the website on NT workstation 4.0. It was working
fine. 
The URL should be as below: 
http://127.0.0.1/index.htm or http://localhost/index.htm
And suddently, it stops working, it can't find the connection. I tried to figure
out what's going on, but still NO CLUES. Does anyone
know what's going on? Please see the link for more.... I believe that I setup
everything correctly and the bugs still flying in the server.... 
Thank you for your help.

Hi!
This is a possible solution to your problem.
import java.io.*;
class AddressExtractor {
 public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException{
 //retrieve the commandline parameters
 String fileName = "default.html";
 if (args.length != 0) fileName =args[0];
 else {
 System.out.println("Usage : java AddressExtractor <htmlfile>");
 System.exit(0);
 BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File(fileName)));
 StreamTokenizer st = new StreamTokenizer(in);
 st.lowerCaseMode(true);
 st.wordChars('/','/'); //include '/' chars as part of token
 st.wordChars(':',':'); //include ':' chars as part of token
 st.quoteChar('\"'); //set the " quote char
 int i;
 while (st.ttype != StreamTokenizer.TT_EOF) {
 i = st.nextToken();
 if (st.ttype == StreamTokenizer.TT_WORD) {
 if (st.sval.equals("href")) {
 i = st.nextToken(); //the next token (assumed) is the '=' sign
 i = st.nextToken(); //then after it is the href value.
 getURL(st.sval); //retrieve address
 in.close();
 static void getURL(String s) {
 //Check string if it has http:// and truncate if it does
 if (s.indexOf("http://") > -1) {
 s = s.substring(s.indexOf("http://") + 7, s.length());
 //check if not mailto: do not print otherwise
 if (s.indexOf("mailto:") != -1) return;
 //printout anything after http:// and the next '/'
 //if no '/' then print all
 if (s.indexOf('/') > -1) {
 System.out.println(s.substring(0, s.indexOf('/')));
 } else System.out.println(s);
}Hope this helps. I used static methods instead of encapsulating everyting into a class.

Encoding problem while reading binary data from MQ-series

Dear all,
we are running on 7.0 and we have an encoding problem while reading binary data from MQ-series. Because we are getting flat strings from queue we use module "Plain2ML" (MessageTransformBean) for wrapping xml-elements around the incoming data.
The MQ-Series-Server is using CCSID 850, which we configured in connection parameters in communication channel (both parameters for Queuemanager CCSID and also CCSID of target).If there are special characters in the message (which HEX-values differ from codepage to codepage) we get errors in our adapter while executing, please see stack-trace for further analysis below.
It seems to us that
1. method ByteToCharUTF8.convert() expects UTF-8 in binary data
2. Both CCSID parameters are not used anyway in JMS-adapter
How can we solve this problem without changing anything on MQ-site?
Here is the stack-trace:

Any ideas?
Kind regards, Stefan

Hi Stefan,
for the first MTB now we are using only one parameter: Transform.ContentType = text/plain;charset="ISO-8859-1"
The second MTB, which does the XML-Wrapping, is configured like this:
Transform.Class = com.sap.aii.messaging.adapter.Conversion
Transform.ContentType = application/xml
xml.conversionType = SimplePlain2XML
xml.fieldNames = value
xml.fieldSeparator = §%zulu§%
xml.processFieldNames = fromConfiguration
xml.structureTitle = payload
Both CCSID configuration parameters from the "Source"-Tab we've set to 850.
Now, we don't get an error anymore - sun.io.malformedInputException - , but, unfortunately, now special character conversion succeeded (we need an "ß" and we get an ISO-HEX-E1 -> á). E1 is (different from ISO) an "ß" in 850.
Any ideas?

How to handle multiple threads to read one line from a file each time?

Dear Sir or Madam,
I'm new to multiple threads java programming. What I want to do is as following:
1. I'm writing a program to read one line of text from a very large file, and then do some process on this one line of text, then read the next line of text from this file, then process on this line of text, ...... When reach the end of the file, close the file.
This is a single thread scenario.
2. To fullly untilized computer resource, I want to create multiple threads to process this large file.
One thing is very important is that each line of text in the large file has to be read sequentially. This means that the first line of text in the large file is read first, then the second line, then the third line ......
My question is that if I create multiple threads to process the same file, how can I make sure that different threads will read the line of text from the same file sequentially?
I don't have enough experience on java multiple threads programming, so it will be very appreaciated if you can help me on this as soon as you are available.
Thanks and regards,
Steven Wu

A better solutoin would be to have a single thread that reads each line an puts it into a queue, and then multiple threads reading from the queue to process these lines.
This will only be effective if the amount of processing to be done on each line is very large compared to how long it takes to read the line, or if you have more than one CPU on your machine.

Read Multi Line from External File

Greetings all,
I am building a page that has random Bible scripture on the
bottom and I have the scriptures saved in a text file and flash
pulls it from there. I am trying to get the Chapter and verse
portion of the text to be on a new line when brought in to the
page. Examples:
quote0=And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as
yourself'. Matthew 22:39
&quote1=And we know that in all things God works for the
good of those who love him, who have been called according to his
purpose. Romans 8:28
&quote2=Do not repay anyone evil for evil. Be careful to
do what is right in the eyes of everybody. Romans 12:17
&quote3=Humility and the fear of the LORD bring wealth
and honor and life. Proverbs 22:4
&quote4=In everything I did, I showed you that by this
kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the
Lord Jesus himself said: 'It is more blessed to give than to
receive.' Acts 20:35
&quote5=Blessed is he who has regard for the weak; the
LORD delivers him in times of trouble. Psalm 41:1
&quote6=Turn from evil and do good; then you will dwell
in the land forever. Psalm 37:27
&quote7=Worship the LORD with gladness; come before him
with joyful songs. Psalm 100:2
&quote8=The Father loves the Son and has placed
everything in his hands. John 3:35
Notice at the end of each scripture is the chapter and verse.
Is there a way to get this to automatically get created on a new
line? On some of them, it looks funny on the page because the
Chapter name will be on one line and the verse numbers on the next.
You can see an example of the output at
www.southernhospitalitycaterers.com to see what I am referring to.
I have tried \r \n and many combinations to no avail and
would appreciate any assistance.
Thanks
Wally

You could create the chapter/verse# as separate variables.
OR
You could put a special set of characters, like "xyz" to
separate them in the file and then replace it with a line return.
AS3 has the String.replace() method and AS2 has the
Textfield.replaceText() method.

How to read a line from a file which contains 45000 characters?

Hi all,
     Iam a receiving a .CSV file which contains n number of rows ,each row has a data seperated with delimiter.
These values based on delimiter it is seperated and certain validations are handled.
Iam using UTL_FILE.GET_LINE operator to read the value and store it in a variable which is declared as l_text VARCHAR2(30000).
when we receive a line which contains huge characters say 45000 then it throws an error(Unable to read the file).
Only on rare cases we used to receive these kind of files with huge size.
Kindly help to solve this issues.

End;
Thanks in Advance

Hi Siva,
Are you trying to use data from this .csv file into your realtion tables. If yes and If you are using 11g Oracle database. I would suggest you create External Tables using the below query,
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/issue-archive/2011/11-mar/o21nanda-312277.html
STEP1: You need a Directory where your SCHEMA has read/write access. Store the csv file in that directory.
STEP2: Create an EXTERNAL Table script. Please refer the above URL. Examples are for coma delimiter (,); replace it with your pipe (|) in the code
STEP: Once your external table is created you can simply create a relational table as below:
CREATE TABLE relation_table
AS
SELECT * FROM external_table;
Regards,
RaviR

Reading one line from a text file into an array

i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
     InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
     BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);
     String line = "";
     try{
     int i = 0;
          while (line != null){
               names[i] = reader.readLine();
               score[i] = reader.readLine();
               line = reader.readLine();
               i++;
          }catch (IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in file access");
this section calls it:
try{
     FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("ISU.txt");
          HighScore.readAndProcessData(stream);
          stream.close();
          names = HighScore.getNames();
          scores = HighScore.getScores();
     }catch(IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in accessing file." + e.toString());
it gives me an array index out of bounds error

oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

How to read every line from a text file???

How can i read every line from my text file ("eka.txt")
now it only reads the first line and prints it out.
What is wrong with this?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testi{
 public static void main(String []args)throws IOException {
 BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
File inputFile = new File ("eka.txt");
FileReader fis =new FileReader(inputFile);
BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
String test=bis.readLine();
String tmp= "";
while((bis.readLine().trim() != null)) {
int spacefound=0;
int l=test.indexOf(" ");
 for(int i=0;i<test.length();i++){
 char c=test.charAt(i);
 if(c!=' ') tmp+=""+c;
 if(c==' ' && (spacefound<1) && !(tmp.equals(""))){
 tmp+=""+c;
 spacefound++;
 if(tmp.length()==l) {
 System.out.println(tmp);
 tmp="";
 spacefound=0;
 if(tmp.length()<l){
 for(int i=0;i<=(l-tmp.length());i++)
 tmp+=""+' ';
 System.out.println(tmp);

Try this code, Hope it servers your purpose.
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class Testi {
 public static void main(String []args)throws IOException {
 BufferedReader stdin=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
 File inputFile = new File ("Eka.txt");
 FileReader fis =new FileReader(inputFile);
 BufferedReader bis = new BufferedReader(fis);
 String test=bis.readLine();
 while(test != null) {
 StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(test," ");
 while(st.hasMoreTokens())
 System.out.println(st.nextToken());
 test = bis.readLine();

Since the word "TEXT" is formed of 4 letters, you would read the text file 4 bytes by four bytes. Wrong on two counts. First, the file may not be encoded 1 byte per character. It could be utf-16 in which case it would be two byte per character. Second, even if it were 1 byte per character, the string "Text" may not start on a 4 byte boundary.
Consider a FileInputStream object "fis" that points to your text file. use fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) to read every four bytes. Convert the "TEXT" String into a byte array "TEXT".getBytes(), and yous the Arrays class to compare the equality of the read bytes with your "TEXT".getBytes()Wrong since it relies on my second point and will fail when fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) does not read 4 bytes (as is no guaranteed to). Check the Javadoc. Also, the file may not be encoded with the default character encoding.
The problem is easily solved by reading a line at a time using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader wrapping a FileInputStream and specifying the correct character encoding.

Having trouble reading specific lines from a text file and displaying them in a listbox

I am trying to read specific lines from all of the text files in a folder that are reports. When I run the application I get the information from the first text file and then it returns this error: "A first chance exception of type 'System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException'
occurred in mscorlib.dll"
Below is the code from that form.
Option Strict On
Option Infer Off
Option Explicit On
Public Class frmInventoryReport
Public Function ReadLine(ByVal lineNumber As Integer, ByVal lines As List(Of String)) As String
Dim intTemp As Integer
intTemp = lineNumber
Return lines(lineNumber - 1)
lineNumber = intTemp
End Function
Public Function FileMatches(ByVal folderPath As String, ByVal filePattern As String, ByVal phrase As String) As Boolean
For Each fileName As String In IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, filePattern)
If fileName.ToLower().Contains(phrase.ToLower()) Then
Return True
End If
Next
Return False
End Function
Private Sub frmInventoryReport_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load
Dim intcase As Integer = 1
Dim strTemp, strlist, strFile As String
Dim blnCheck As Boolean = True
strFile = "Report Q" & intcase.ToString & ".txt"
Do While blnCheck = True
strFile = "Report Q" & intcase.ToString & ".txt"
Dim objReader As New System.IO.StreamReader("E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\" & strFile)
Dim allLines As List(Of String) = New List(Of String)
Do While objReader.Peek <> -1
allLines.Add(objReader.ReadLine())
Loop
objReader.Close()
strlist = ReadLine(1, allLines) & "" & ReadLine(23, allLines)
lstInventory.Items.Add(strlist)
intcase += 1
strTemp = intcase.ToString
strFile = "Report Q" & intcase.ToString & ".txt"
blnCheck = FileMatches("E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\", "*.txt", intcase.ToString)
Loop

Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it. Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple. Here's a simple class example:
Public Class Animal
Public Property Name As String
Public Property Cage As String
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
End Function
End Class
With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
While Not reader.EndOfStream
Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
If lineIndex = 0 Then
currentAnimal.Name = line
ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
currentAnimal.Cage = line
Exit While
End If
lineIndex += 1
End While
animals.Add(currentAnimal)
End Using
Next
'do something to display the animals list
Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView. If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

Problem in reading the JDK1.4Logger configuration file from java prog

I have written a java program and want to log the messages in a log file , I'm using commons logging with JDK1.4logger as logging subsystem .
I am facing the problem in reading the JDK1.4Logger configuration file which is commons-logging .properties file from my java program as a result my log messages are appearing directly on the screen while I try to run program , during compilation no error is shown . I have tried to set java.util.logging.config.file ="Path of my commons-logging .properties file " by setting system properties also.
Please suggest the appropriate solution for this .

Some webservers won't recognise the resource bundle provided in message-resources
In that case, you need to specify that resource bundle information in web.xml at the time of specifying the action servlet like this. Check for the init-param application.
<servlet>
 <servlet-name>action</servlet-name>
 <servlet-class>org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet</servlet-class>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>application</param-name>
 <param-value>resource.ApplicationResource</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>config</param-name>
 <param-value>/WEB-INF/struts-config.xml</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>debug</param-name>
 <param-value>2</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>detail</param-name>
 <param-value>2</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <init-param>
 <param-name>validate</param-name>
 <param-value>true</param-value>
 </init-param>
 <load-on-startup>2</load-on-startup>
</servlet>In this, the drawback is, you can not specify the key for your resource bundle. In the JSP, you have to access the property like this.
<bean:message key="label.fName"/>
