Read Unicode text file convert to ANSI text file

Question

I am new to Java. I am trying to read from, ReadUnicodeEncodedPlainTextDocument.txt, a plain text file encoded
in Unicode, then select four particular lines, and then write those plain text lines to, WriteANSIencodedPlainTextSelectedFields.txt,
another file encoded in ANSI.
Using my code ConvertEncodedText.java:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class ConvertEncodedText
     public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
          File f = new File("ReadUnicodeEncodedPlainTextDocument.txt");
          Scanner scan = new Scanner(f);
          String peek1, peek2, peek3, peek4;
          boolean pk1 = false, pk2 = false, pk3 = false;
          int count = 0;
          while(scan.hasNext())     // begin search
               peek1  = scan.nextLine();
               if (peek1.startsWith("From"))
                    pk1 = true;
                    peek2  = scan.nextLine();
                    if(pk1 && peek2.startsWith("Date"))
                         pk2 =true;
                         peek3  = scan.nextLine();
                         if(pk1 && pk2 && peek3.startsWith("To"))
                              pk3 = true;
                              peek4 = scan.nextLine();
                              if(pk1 && pk2 && pk3 && peek4.startsWith("Subject"))
                                   System.out.println("\n" + peek1 + "\n" + peek2 + "\n" + peek3 + "\n" + peek4);
                                   count++;
                                   pk1 = false;
                                   pk2 = false;
                                   pk3 = false;                                   
                              }//if pk1 && pk2 && pk3 && peek4.startsWith("Subject")), print, begin new search
                              else
                                   pk1 = false;
                                   pk2 = false;
                                   pk3 = false;                                   
                              }//else begin  new search                              
                         }//if(pk1 && pk2 && peek3.startsWith("To"))
                         else
                              pk1 = false;
                              pk2 = false;
                              pk3 = false;
                         }//else begin new search
                    }//if(pk1 && peek2.startsWith("Date"))
                    else
                         pk1 = false;
                         pk2 = false;
                         pk3 = false;
                    }//else begin new search
               }//if (peek1.startsWith("From"))
          }//while hasNext
          System.out.println("\ncount = " + count);
}As shown below, I would like to write to the following text file encoded in ANSI, WriteANSIencodedPlainTextSelectedFields.txt:

Hi, Dr. Ulrich.? Are there any authors and titles of JME that you could recommend for my reading??
Thanks.? Mark

Hi Mark,
Thanks for the update. I have met Dr. Ulrich on several occasions ? he is a great guy!
Dr. Hammer and I also have the same advisor from graduate school. He did his Masters with my PhD advisor at Poly-Tech. We have also met many times in the past. I think you will be in good hands down there.
It seems clear that you need to start learning JME and can perhaps forget about Windows Mobile. JME represents a smaller footprint for Java that contains support for various APIs for mobile functionality. I do not own any JME books, but a search on Amazon.com turned up what looks like several good ones.
Best wishes
Joe

Hi, Dr. Ulrich.? This read-sensitive run-recognition pitching distribution is perhaps a commercial problem in a less sophisticated framework.? Could we build a simple commercial application and then customize the solution for the Ballpark functions and framework?? Thanks.? Mark

Hi, Dr. Ulrich.? Pine-tar.? What do you think?? Would you please show me how to pitch sliders and splitters into this so I can study the features in detail?? Thanks.? Mark
P.S.
As you can see, my code reads the particular sequence of 4 selected fields, From, Date, To, and Subject,
out of an email that contains that specific sequence of 4 fields then I would like to place them in a text file
called WriteANSIencodedPlainTextSelectedFields.txt, and then print the number of emails in the document.
Instead of the desired output I would like to write to the file WriteANSIencodedPlainTextSelectedFields.txt; I am only getting this:
Count = 0
What is my problem???
Thanks,
Mike

Answer 1

What is my problem???Obviously one of your conditions not being true...
What does your question have to do with the thread's subject, btw?
