Read text file and split up. How???

Can anyone tell me how to split up a string into words.
The string is: "me and my cat both like milk and cookies"
I need read through the file and diplay the biggest word(s) and the smallest word(s).
I would appriciate help on this as i am really stumped
Thanks
..::M::..
p.s. I also need to be able to do this in C++ but if i know it in java i think the C++ will be simple

String[] words = "your sentencehere".split("\\s+");
and now you have array of strings, each containigwords from text.
this is helpful, is there a version in C++ tooThe short answer for C++ is "no". Unless of course you install one of the regexp libraries available. But there is no native language way to do it like in Java.
However if they words always have spaces and always will have spaces you can write your C++ code like this:
vector <string> words;
ifstream inFile( "file.txt" );
string temp;
inFile >> temp;
words.push_back( temp );
PS I have not tested this code in anyway but it should be simple enough

Reading text file and display in the selectOnechoice list item In ADF.

Hi,

Any suggestion will highly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Google will produce you with hints on how to read content of a file from Java (ideally the file uses some delimiter). Then in a managed bean, you read the file and save its content in a list of SelectItem. So your managed bean should have the following property and setter/getter pairs
ArrayList<SelectItem> listFromFile = new ArrayList<SelectItem>();
public void setListFromFile(ArrayList l){ //you don't need this }
public ArrayList<SelectItem> getListFromFile(){
   //read file content and iterate over the file list entries
for(i=0, i < fileContent.length, ++i){
     SelectItem si = new SelectItem();
     si.setValue(... the value to update the list of value with ...);
     si.setLabel("... the label to show in the list ...");
     listFromFile.add(si);
return listFromFile;
}The af:selectOneChoice component should look as follows
<af:selectOneChoice id=".." value="...attribute to update with selection ..." ...>
   <f:selectItems value="#{managedBean.listFromFile}"/>
</af:selectOneChoice>Frank

Read Text file and count occurences of certain string

Hello,
I have a text file with lines of data in it. I would like to read this text file and count how many lines match a certain string of text.
For example my text file has this data in it.
dog,blue,big
dog,red,small
dog,blue,big
cat,blue,big
If the certain string of text is "dog,blue,big" then the count would return "2".

Reading text files and EOF

I am attempting to read in blocks of data from a text file separated by a blank line. When the BufferedReader hits the first blank line it ends. I retyped the test text file and still cannot get it to continue to read the entire file; just the first block.
fReader = new FileReader( textFile );
bReader = new BufferedReader( fReader );
line = bReader.readLine();
while( line ! = null ){
do stuff;
bReader.close()
The format of my textFile is:
100
some name
type 1
type 2
101
some other name
type 1
type 2
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
I saw that BigDaddyLoveHandles already helped you a lot but I wanted to add a little something to that, because from what I understood you need to keep the blocks together.
public static void main(String[] args) {
          BufferedReader theReader = null;
          try {
               theReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("pathToYourFile"));
               String line;
               StringBuilder theBuilder = new StringBuilder();
               while ((line = theReader.readLine()) != null){
                    if (line.isEmpty()){
                         doStuff(theBuilder.toString());
                         theBuilder = new StringBuilder();
                    }else {
                         theBuilder.append(line).append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
               doStuff(theBuilder.toString());
          } catch (IOException e) {
               e.printStackTrace();
          } finally{
               if (theReader != null)
                    try {
                         theReader.close();
                    } catch (IOException e) {
                         e.printStackTrace();
     }This actually allows your method doStuff to get the whole block vs. line by line.

Hi,
Let us consider you have list of names(Seperated by delimeter) in a text file and you want to display in a table.
1. Create Context Node "Names" and context attribute "Name"
2. Create Table and bind to the above context.
3.Write the following code in the "Init method.
try{
FileReader f =new FileReader("");

I need to read data from a text file and display it in a datagrid.how can this be done..please help

hey ppl
i have a datagrid in my form.i need to read input(fields..sort of a database) from a text file and display its contents in the datagrid.
how can this be done.. and also after every few seconds reading event should be re executed.. and that the contents of the datagrid will keep changing as per the changes in the file...
please help as this is urgent and important.. if possible please provide me with an example code as i am completely new to flex...
thanks.....

It's not possible to read from a file without using classes from the core API*. You'll have to get clarification from your instructor as to which classes are and are not allowed.
[http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/essential/io/]
*Unless you write a bunch of JNI code to replicate what the java.io classes are doing.

when i run it this is all i get:

Well my acquisition code runs perfect. The problem is reading it. I can't seem to read my data no matter what I do. My data gets saved as a string using the array to string vi but I've read that the string to array vi (which I need to convert back to array to read my data) does not work on the pda. I'm using version 8.0. So I was trying to modify the program posted in this discussion so that it would save data from my DAQ. I did that but I still can't read the data after its saved. I really don't know what else to do. All I need to do is read the data on the pda itself. I can't understand why I'm having such a hard time doing that. I found a possible solution on another discussion that talks about parsing the strings because of the bug in the "string to array" vi. However, that lead me to another problem because for some reason, the array indicators or graphs don't function on the pda. When i build the program to the pda or emulator, the array indicators are faded out on the front panel as if the function is not valid. Does this kind of help give a better picture of what I'm trying to do. Simply read data back. Thanks.

What I wanna do is to read all the data above and buffer them in a queue for each user( there are only 10 users in total).
I already created a class called Class packet:
public class packet {
    private int timestamp;
    private int user_id;
    private int packet_id;
    private int packet_seqno;
    private int packet_size;
    /** Creates a new instance of packet */
    public packet(int timestamp,int user_id, int packet_id,int packet_seqno, int packet_size)
        this.timestamp = timestamp;
        this.user_id=user_id;
        this.packet_id=packet_id;
        this.packet_seqno=packet_seqno;
        this.packet_size=packet_size;
}then I wanna to create another Class called Class user which I can create a queue for each user (10 users in total) to store type packet information. the queue for each user will be in the order by timestamp.
any idea and sample code will be appreciated.

Doesn't sound too hard to me. Your class User (the convention says to capitalize class names) will have an ArrayList or Vector in it to represent the queue, and a method to store a Packet object into the List. An array or ArrayList or Vector will hold the 10 user objects. You will find the right user object from packet.user_id and call the method.
Please try to write some code yourself. You won't learn anything from having someone else write it for you. Look at sample code using ArrayList and Vector, there's plenty out there. Post in the forum again if your code turns out not to behave.

Read multiple text files and sort them

        packet_id=packet_id0;
        packet_seqno=packet_seqno0;

    public String toString()
        return timestamp+"\t"+user_id+"\t"+packet_id+"\t"+packet_seqno+"\t"+packet_size+"\t";
