Read Lines from, JTextArea

Hi there,
I'm trying to save the text from a JTextArea as a file. It all work fine, except the file is written as on long string. Is there any way around this? I was going to read the text line by line, add it to a Vector and then write the file from the Vector, but how do u read just on line from a JTextArea.
All I can find is .getText - but that dosn't do the trick.
ANy suggestions Dukes?

well, yes but the problem is:
I load one .txt file (or similar) into the JTextArea, then u change it round a bit and click on save.
This is when the .getText method comes into play, unfortunately it seems to read the whole area as one string (where line-breaks appears as little black squares).
Is it possibly the FileOutput sequence that's the problem?
(there's no "\n" in the loaded text)

Read lines from text file to java prog

how can I read lines from input file to java prog ?
I need to read from input text file, line after line
10x !

If you search in THIS forum with e.g. read lines from file, you will find answers like this one:
Hi ! This is the answer for your query. This program prints as the output itself reading line by line.......
import java.io.*;
public class readfromfile
public static void main(String a[])
if you search in THIS forum, with e.g. read lines from text file
try{
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(new File("readfromfile.java")));
while(br.readLine() != null)
System.out.println(" line read :"+br.readLine());
}catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
}

I want to read lines from file, count it and extract numbers from a first line.

i must do un loop?

HI,
i try to explain how to use to LABVIEW TOOLS...
1. USE a for next loop
2. here you must open the file with the VI. read lines from file.
you can choos how many lines you read at same time.
3. the string you can convert into an number.
4. in the loop is the literal counter... this is you line couter....

Read lines from more than 1 file of different file extensions, extract the data and output to screen

Hi,
I am trying to read data from more than one file at once. The files are different types e.g. one is a text file one is an xml file like so, StudentInformation.txt, CollegeInformation.xml. The files are all stored in one place, in this case on the D drive of
a local computer. I am trying to locate any files in the D drive with a file extension of .txt or of .xml (there may be more than two of these files in the future, so I'm trying to allow for that). Then I want to open all of these files, extract the information
and output all the information in one display window. I want all the information from these two or more files to be displayed together in the display window.
Here is the code so far. It is throwing up errors.
//Load from txt or xml files
private void btnLoad_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
IEnumerable<string> fileContents = Directory.EnumerateFiles("D:\\", "*.*", SearchOption.TopDirectoryOnly)
.Select(x => new FileInfo(x))
.Where(x => x.Extension == ".xml" || x.Extension == ".txt")
.Select(file => ParseFile(file));}
private string ParseFile(FileInfo file)
try
using (StreamReader sr = new StreamReader(file.FullName))
string line;
while ((line = sr.ReadLine()) != null)
//Logic here to determine if this is the correct file and append accordingly
lbDisplay.Items.Add(line);
return line;
catch (Exception ex)
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
The error it throws up is:
Error 1
'BookList.MainWindow.ParseFile(System.IO.FileInfo)': not all code paths return a value

This is the Small Basic programming language so moving to a C# forum.
But you need all paths to return a value, including if an exception is called and it jumps to the catch, perhaps just:
// Let the user know what went wrong
MessageBox.Show("The file could not be read: ");
MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
return "";

Read lines from a file

With "ApartmentFileHandler" I can write Apartment-objects to a file and read them from a file.
To write I loop through each room in the apartment and write its size
and type. I put 1 Room per line.
To read I read each line of the file and recreate the room stored
there. When there are no lines left in the file I pass the Rooms from
the file to the Apartment constructor and return the new Apartment.
Only one Apartment is stored in each file. (Apartment doesn?t implement
Serializable, so I cant write straight Apartment-objects to a file.)
So in the file, there are stored one "Room" per line: String type,
double size
QUESTION: How am I able to read all lines: first line first -> make a new room of
it, and store to a roomArray? Then second -> do same as I did to the
first.
Now my read()-method doesn't read all lines. How to change it to read next line?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I recommend using java.io.BufferedReader in conjunction with java.io.FileReader:
BufferedReader reader=new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filepath));
java.io.BufferedReader provides the method public java.lang.String readLine() throws java.io.IOException which lets you read a complete line from the underlying java.io.Reader object. Furthermore, BufferedReader will - as the name implies - buffer your IO-operations which will help you improve the program's performance. In order to read all the lines contained in a text file you might want to apply a loop:
String line;
while((line=reader.readLine())!=null && line.length()!=0){
//process data in string line (parse into string and double)
Of course, everything must be contained within a try-catch-block in order to be able to handle upcoming IOException objects.

Michael

How to write a function read line from a file in FDK?

Hello,
I want to write a function that can read a file in line by line in FDK. How do I write it. If FDK could not. Is there any the way? Please help.
Thank you,
Thai Nguyen

Thai,
You can use the "channel" functions for this. I'm far from an expert on channel programming but I've read files line-by-line successfully by going one character at a time, looking for a carriage return.
You can open up the file channel with something like:
ChannelT chan;
FilePathT *path;
UCharT ptr[1];
IntT numRead;
path = F_PathNameToFilePath("C:\\temp\\mydoc.txt", NULL, FDefaultPath);
if((chan = F_ChannelOpen(path,"r")) == NULL)
return;
//read the first character
numRead = F_ChannelRead(ptr, sizeof(UCharT), 1, chan);
...then you can call F_ChannelRead iteratively to build the string in a buffer, looking for a carriage return (ASCII 13) and stopping there. (that is, ptr[0] == 13).
There might be a better way. This is just the way I've gotten it to work. It probably is not a good method for unicode files.

Read lines from file

Hi. I use buffered reader to read from a file. The file contains a line of strings (04/21/2005 some text bla bla here). Each line ends with a \n, to define that its the end of the line. How can i print this out, so each line is printed on a new line? Suggestions?
String filename = "someFile.txt";
BufferedReader infile = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filename));
String read;
while ((read = infile.readLine()) != null)
//print each line, but how?
infile.close();

I was wondering if the \n defines that its "end of
line" so that all strings between the \n is
understood as one line.Yes. It may also be \r\n, depending on the platform. It's one of the System properties. line.delimiter, I think.
Allso, when i print with
System.out.println(infile); only
java.io.BufferedReader@691177 is printed. Do I have
to parse it in any way?No. You normally can't "print" an object. All you'll do is print out the result of the object's toString() method, which usually returns the class name and the object's hash code.
And you should keep in mind that a File object is only a representation of the file's name. It has no access to the file's contents.

Fire an event automatically after reading line from file

Hi all
I am writing a programe in which i need to fire an event automatically after reading each line (i.e. on every EOL) from the file.
Thanks

Reading lines from txt doc

so here is the deal, i have this txt doc that my program is reading from useing he readline() method, now the deal is through that when i print the lines that match i get something that looks like this;
2 Jeffery Johnson A001 06/14/1978 08/01/2006 402-486-5104 Lincoln NE 68588 1400
but i want it to look like this
2
Jeffery Johnson
A001
06/14/1978
08/01/2006
402-486-5104
lincoln
ne
68588
1400
so i dont know how to format the macthing lines to do this.
thanks

Try this for example:
String [] newText = "Jeffery Johnson A001 06/14/1978 08/01/2006 402-486-5104 Lincoln NE 68588 1400".split (" ");To see what the String array consists off, try this:
    for (int i = 0; i < newText.length; i++)
        System.out.println ("newText[" + i + "] has a value of " + newText);
}Once you understand how it's working, you will then be able to format your original text in whatever way you want.
As for the split() method, maybe the use of *split ("\s")* would be better than *split (" ")*. The smarties will know that one better than me.

Reading lines from JEditorPane

Hi,
I wonder if there is some way to read text in a JEditorPane line by line. Something like when using BufferedReader when reading from text files. Like method readLine() in BufferedReader?

Read lines from text-file in specified [ITEM]

Hello,
are there any functions integrated in Labview to read a text-file which looks like this:
[ITEM-NAME_01]
parameter1 = here
parameter2 = 1123
parameter3 = a453
[ITEM-NAME_02]
parameter4 = here
parameter5 = 1123
parameter6 = a453
Can this be done easy, or do i have to manually search the file for the "["-character ?
At the end i want a VI where i pass the file-name and the item-name as input, and as output i want one array with the parameter-names and the other array with the values.
How can this be done?
Thanks for your help

Hi OnlyOne,
you are talking about Configuration files?
Look in the file palette, sub-palette "configuration files". It's all in there!

Getting a single line from a JTextArea

I have a JTextArea with a fixed size. I've used the .setLineWrap(true) and .setWrapStyleWord(true) on this JTextArea, so when the user types in some text, that's longer that the JTextArea, it will wrap unto the next line. I need to get each visible line from the JTextArea. That is not each line of text, that is seperated by a newline (when the user type Enter), but every line, that is visibly seperated in the JTextArea.
How can i do that.

The javax.swing.text.Utilities class can help:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class TestUtility extends JFrame
     public TestUtility()
          final JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea( "one two three four five", 5, 10 );
          textArea.setLineWrap( true );
          textArea.setWrapStyleWord( true );
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( textArea );
          getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
          textArea.addCaretListener( new CaretListener()
               public void caretUpdate(CaretEvent e)
                    int pos = textArea.getCaretPosition();
                    try
                         int start = Utilities.getRowStart(textArea, pos);
                         int end = Utilities.getRowEnd(textArea, pos);
                         System.out.println( start + " : " + end );
                    catch (BadLocationException ble) {}
     public static void main(String[] args)
          TestUtility frame = new TestUtility();

          frame.pack();
          frame.setVisible(true);

Getting the visible lines from a JTextArea

I'm using a JTextArea with a fixed size. I've used the setLineWrap(true) and setWrapStyleWord(true) methods on this JTextArea, so when the user types in some text longer than the visible width, it will wrap into the next line. I need to get each visible line from the JTextArea to create a String array of text lines.
I mean visible text lines (lines visibly separated in the JTextArea), not real text lines separated by a line break character as "\n".
How can I do this?

This information is supposed to be contained in the View information of the component. But as far as I can tell it doesn't work for a JTextArea.
So if you can use a JTextPane then check out the "getWrappedLines" method in this posting:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=608220
Basically, a View exists for each line in the Document and then each line may have multiple views if the line needs to wrap. So the basic code just count the number of views within each line but you can change the code to get each view separately. Once you have each view you can get the start and end of the text from the document that this View represents.
Or if you need to use a JTextArea then you can calculate the starting offset of each each line with respect to the model. You can use the viewToModel(..) method to get the starting offset of each line. We know that each line in a text area is a fixed height, so the starting offset of the first line would be modelToView(0, 0); If the line height is 16, then the starting offset of the second line would be modelToView(0, 16), etc. Once you know the starting offset of each line you can subString out the text for each line.

How can we get the selected line number from JTextArea ?

how can we get the selected line number from JTextArea ? and want to insert line/string given line number into JTextArea??? is it possible ?

int lineToInsertAt = 5; // Whatever you want.
int offs = textArea.getLineStartOffset(lineToInsertAt);
textArea.insert("Text to insert", offs);
