Putting words from a text file into a binary tree.

I am having problems figuring out how to do this.
the text file will have a sentence like this
Every one likes to play games.
My Dog tore up my apartment last night.
How old are you sir.I know how to put regular strings into a binary tree, but I don't know what to do in order to put these textfile strings into it.
I thought of using string tokenizer but I couldn't get that to work because the sentences are not a specific length, they can be any length. Can somebody give me some tips on what to use?
Thank you

That will work?I'm sorry to tell you, that is a really bad question. Of course it won't work, because you did something else wrong. I have no idea what, but it's pretty certain that you haven't got everything right yet. (And that's nothing personal, it's just an observation about computer programming in general.) But don't let that stop you. And don't wait around for people to validate your ideas. Try it and see what happens. You won't break anything. And when it doesn't work, figure out why and carry on.

  • Read words from a text file into an undefined array

    Dear all,
    Does anyone know how to read words in text file, seperated by all types of spaces ("_", "\n", "\t","\r","\f") and put them into a string array to be used later?
    So far I can read the words using the Tokenizer but can't assign to array:
    public class reader
    StringTokenizer tokenizer = new StringTokenizer(input);
    String[ ] array= null;  //unknown size of array
    int i=0;
                   while(tokenizer.hasMoreTokens())
                             array[i] = tokenizer.nextToken();
                             i++;
    Any suggestions welcome!
    thanks in advance!

    Hi
    sorry wrote in a hurry ;) din c the problem clearly
    there are two approaches
    1) best approach for your problem is Vector or ArrayList, these would make life easy for you.
    Always collections are better approach over arrays when the size is dynamic. However in your case the size cant be said to be DYNAMIC. coz the number of words will not grow / shrink during the runtime.. i know that number of words are not fixed but dynamic is something which will grow/shrink during runtime. but still collection is better approach.
    2)dirty approach
    use double dimensional array
    String arr[][] = null;
    then use one tokenizer for StringTokenizer(str,"\n");
    using countTokens on this will give you number of lines.
    use this to initialize array
    arr = new String[lineCount][];
    then iterate from 1 to lineCount and use 1 more tokenizer to get number of words for that line. use this number to initialize the column size for arr[i] like
    arr[i] = new String[wordCount];
    then store the token using nested for loops in this array
    go for the 1st one ;) 2nd one is hedious n time consuming but both will work ;)
    cheers

  • 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{

              while (line != null){

                   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 import data from a text file into a table

    Hello,
    I need help with importing data from a .csv file with comma delimiter into a table.
    I've been struggling to figure out how to use the "Import from Files" wizard in Oracle 10g web-base Enterprise Manager.
    I have not been able to find a simple instruction on how to use the Wizard.
    I have looked at the Oracle Database Utilities - Overview of Oracle Data Pump and the Help on the "Import: Files" page.
    Neither one gave me enough instruction to be able to do the import successfully.
    Using the "Import from file" wizard, I created a Directory Object using the Create Directory Object button. I Copied the file from which i needed to import the data into the Operating System Directory i had defined in the Create Directory Object page. I chose "Entire files" for the Import type.
    Step 1 of 4 is the "Import:Re-Mapping" page, I have no idea what i need to do on this page. All i know i am not tying to import data that was in one schema into a different schema and I am not importing data that was in one tablespace into a different tablespace and i am not R-Mapping datafiles either. I am importing data from a csv file.
    For step 2 of 4, "Import:Options" page, I selected the same directory object i had created.
    For step 3 of 4, I entered a job name and a description and selected Start Immediately option.
    What i noticed going through the wizard, the wizard never asked into which table do i want to import the data.
    I submitted the job and I got ORA-31619 invalid dump file error.
    I was sure that the wizard was going to fail when it never asked me into which table do i want to import the data.
    I tried to use the "imp" utility in command-line window.
    After I entered (imp), i was prompted for the username and the password and then the buffer size as soon as i entered the min buffer size I got the following error and the import was terminated:
    C:\>imp
    Import: Release 10.1.0.2.0 - Production on Fri Jul 9 12:56:11 2004

    Please show me the easiest way to import a text file into a table. How complex could it be to do a simple import into a table using a text file?
    We are testing our application against both an Oracle database and a MSSQLServer 2000 database.
    I was able to import the data into a table in MSSQLServer database and I can say that anybody with no experience could easily do an export/import in MSSQLServer 2000.
    I appreciate if someone could show me how to the import from a file into a table!

  • Reading characters from a text file into a multidimensional array?

    I have an array, maze[][] that is to be filled with characters from a text file. I've got most of the program worked out (i think) but can't test it because I am reading my file incorrectly. However, I'm running into major headaches with this part of the program.
    The text file looks like this: (It is meant to be a maze, 19 is the size of the maze(assumed to be square). is free space, # is block, s is start, x is finish)
    This didn't paste evenly, but thats not a big deal. Just giving an idea.
    19
    5..................
    And my constructor looks like follows, I've tried zillions of things with the input.hasNext() and hasNextLine() to no avail.
    Code:
    //Scanner to read file
    Scanner input = null;
    try{
    input = new Scanner(fileName);
    }catch(RuntimeException e) {
    System.err.println("Couldn't find the file");
    System.exit(0);
    //Set the size of the maze
    while(input.hasNextInt())
    size = input.nextInt();
    //Set Limits on coordinates
    Coordinates.setLimits(size);
    //Set the maze[][] array equal to this size
    maze = new char[size][size];
    //Fill the Array with maze values
    for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++)
    for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++)
    if(input.hasNextLine())
    String insert = input.nextLine();
    maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
    Any advice would be loved =D

    Code-tags sometimes cause wonders, I replaced # with *, as the code tags interprets # as comment, which looks odd:
    ******...*.........To your code: Did you test it step by step, to find out about what is read? You could either use a debugger (e.g., if you have an IDE) or system outs to get a clue. First thing to check would be, if the maze size is read correctly. Further, the following loops look odd:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
        for(int x = 0; x < maze.length; x++) {
            if (input.hasNextLine()) {
                String insert = input.nextLine();
                maze[x] = insert.charAt(x);
    }Shouldn't the nextLine test and assignment be in the outer loop? And assignment be to each maze's inner array? Like so:for(int i = 0; i < maze.length; i++) {
        if (input.hasNextLine()) {
            String insert = input.nextLine();
            for(int x = 0; x < insert.size(); x++) {
                maze[i][x] = insert.charAt(x);
    }Otherwise, only one character per line is read and storing a character actually should fail.

  • How do you read data from a text file into a JTextArea?

    I'm working on a blogging program and I need to add data from a text file named messages.txt into a JTextArea named messages. How do I go about doing this?

    Student_Coder wrote:
    1) Read the file messages.txt into a String
    2) Initialize messages with the String as the textSwing text components are designed to use Unix-style linefeeds (\n) as line separators. If the text file happens to use a different style, like DOS's carriage-return+linefeed (\r\n), it needs to be converted. The read() method does that, and it saves the info about the line separator style in the Document so the write() method can re-convert it.

  • How to do import data from the text file into the mathscript window?

    Could anyone tell me how to do import data from text file into mathscript window for labview 8?
    MathScript Window openned, File, Load Data - it has options: custom pattern (*.mlv) or all files. 
    Thanks

    Hi Milan,
    Prior to loading data in Mathscript Window , you have to save the data from the Mathscript window (the default extension of the file is .mlv but you can choose any extension). This means that you cannot load data from a text file  that was not created using the Mathscript window.
    Please let me know if you have any further questions regarding this issue.

  • Reading data from a text file into PAS - Dimension member names truncated

    Hi,
    I created a procedure to dump variables and data into a text file to load into another model. I used a semicolon as a field seperator.
    The data, measures and dimension members are dumped properly into a text file and no dimension member names are truncated .
    However when I read the data into  a measure, and I issue a peek command, dimension meber names are read in truncated
    and remain full names in the text file. Any reason for this? What do I need to do to prevent this from happening?
    THanks.
    Lungile

    Hi Lungile,
    The problem that you're likely having is that you haven't created a file description for the file from which you're reading.  When loading data into Application Server from a text file, you would normally go through three steps:
    1. Enter the ACCESS EXTERNAL subsystem
    2. Specify the name of the file to be read
    3. Specify the format of the file field names, types, widths, and positions.
    If you go into the Application Server help, select "Application Server Help", then "Application Server at the command level", then "Variables and reading in data", and then "Reading an external file", you will have the process of the steps you need to follow outlined for you, including links to the help topic for each command you need to issue.
    So what I think you need to do is use the DESCRIPTION command to specify the names of your fields, their type, and also their width, in order to ensure no truncation of data on the load.
    The same DESCRIPTION statement is required if you want to use your text file as the source of a dimension.
    Hope this helps,
    Robert

  • Reading words from a text file

    I have written code to store words in a text file. they appear in the text file as shown below.
    word1
    word2
    word3
    etc.
    I want to read each word individually and store them in an array. Im trying to do it using a BufferedReader but it doesn't seem to work. The code for reading the words is shown below. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
    try
    FileReader reader = new FileReader("words.txt");
    BufferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(reader);
    ArrayList words = new ArrayList();
    String line;
    while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
    line = bReader.readLine();
    words.add(line);
    bReader.close();
    catch (Exception e)
    System.err.println ("Error writing to file");
    }

    I think your code is wrong, because it Read two time from file,
    your code like....
    while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
    line = bReader.readLine();
    words.add(line);
    you have to change the above code like
    while((line = bReader.readLine()) != null)
    words.add(line);
    NOW ITS WORKING FINE,...........

  • Replace/cut part of words from a text file.

    Here is what I have started:
    import java.util.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class test
            Vector<String> x = new Vector<String>();
    public mergefiles() throws IOException
            readAdd("test.txt");

             writer.write(s);
            writer.close();
    public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
            new test();
    }I am new to Java and I would really appreciate if you would be patient with me.
    Thank you!

    I have tried in readAdd method something like:
    int posX=all.indexOf("X"); // x being like first word of the text file
              if (all.length()-posX>0)
                   string.replace("ab1","abc1");
              }     but still doesn't work, and this is not a really good ideea, in case that I have to replace 1000 of abci ...I should use a for in my write method:
    String[] s=new String[2];
    for(int i=0;i<word.length;i++)
                   BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(testout.substring(0, testout.lastIndexOf("."))+(i+1)+".txt"));
                       writer.write(s);
              writer.close();

    I am with Chris on this one.
    If those headers are repeating in your text file, you could run a simple script to cleanse the data first and make the file fit for SQL*Loader.
    Here's an example with Perl, I hope the header of Page 2 and onwards resembles what you have in your file. I've snipped some data from the far right so that it fits on my terminal screen:
    $
    $ # show the contents of the data file
    $
    $ cat report.dat

    $ You could do an inline substitution with Perl, or redirect it to a temp file and then move back to the original file. In either case, you have just the relevant data for the next step.
    Again, Perl is just one option. On Unix/Linux systems, you have a large number of utilities/scripting languages that can perform almost any kind of data transformation.
