Reading a configuration text file of Cisco 3030

I have been tasked with reviewing the configuration of a Cisco 3030 VPN Concentrator. The only thing I have is a copy of the configuration in text format. Is there a document that can explain what all the entries mean (ie enable=1, ...)

Reading in a text file to GUI for later analysis

Good Morning any and everyone,
I'm trying to get a piece of code working to read in a text file and it isn't working very well. The code has been seriously crunched together from a multitude of sources so I suspect that the error has occurred from there.
The errors that are occurring are "Can't Find Symbol" errors. Only 2 of them though which is a lot less than I had earlier. Now I'm just banging my head against the wall.
Has anyone got any suggestions as to where I'm going wrong? Anything greatly appreciated.
(PS> Please be gentle, I'm still a newbie)
Thanks.

A couple of points:
*You've commented out stuff that is needed, like the adding of actionlisteners, the implements actionlistener,...
*Your actionlistener is looking for a menu choice which doesn't exist "displayContentsChoice". Does this menu item need to be created?
*How much of this code have you yourself created? Do you understand its inner working?
*What is the purpose of this code? Is it for work? School? Homework?
Good luck!

Reading through a text file and then sorting

I'm having a lot of problems with this.
I have to read through a text file and I have to split the string up so that it is seperated into individual tokens. A line from the text file looks like this. addEvent(new Bell(tm + 9000)). I have to grab the addEvent, new, Bell, tm and 9000 and store it in a linkedlist. After reading through the whole text file I have to sort the the linked list based on the number. ie: 9000. Is there any way to do this? I currently break up the text file using a StringTokenizer object but then i am uncertain on how to add it to a linked list and then sort each line based on the number. Any help would be appreciated.
Joe

Sorry to bother you Ben but I just can't get my head wrapped around this. Here is exactly what I have to do:
After reading, Events must be stored in the EventSet according to the time they are to occur. Assume that no time number is more than 8 digits long. Restart() must be able to deal appropriately with any order of the Events. To accomplish this have Restart() save the relevant Event information in an LinkedList of strings and sort the Events by time before adding each event to EventSet. Use the <list>.add() to set up your linked list. This is shown in c09:List1.java and Collections.sort(<list>) shown in c09:ListSortSearch. Modify the Bell() to output a single "Bing!". When you read in a Bell event generate the appropriate number of Bell events as indicated by rings. These must be set to the correct times. This is an alternative to generating the new Bell events within Bell(). It will allow them be sorted into their correct time sequence. At this point the output of the program should be identical the original program.
After the intitial start, when restarting Restart() must provide to the user the option to recreate the EventSet from the linked list or read in a new file (supplied by the user). This must be achieved by prompting the user at the console. Please also allow the user the option to quit the program at this stage.

Is this problem easier than I think it is? I just don't know what to add to the linkedList. A LinkedList within a linkedList? I find this problem pretty difficult. Any help is muchly appreciated.

How to read a whole text file into a pl/sql variable?

Hi, I need to read an entire text file--which actually contains an email message extracted from a content management system-- into a variable in a pl/sql package, so I can insert some information from the database and then send the email. I want to read the whole text file in one shot, not just one line at a time. Shoud I use Utl_File.Get_Raw or is there another more appropriate way to do this?

HOW TO WRITE AND READ FROM A TEXT FILE???

How can I read from a text file and then display the contents in a JTextArea??????
Also how can I write the contents of a JTextArea to a text file.
Extra Question::::::: Is it possible to write records to a text file. If you have not idea what I am talking about then ignore it.
Manny thanks,
your help is much appreciated though you don't know it!

Do 3 things.
-- Look through the API at the java.io package.
-- Search previous posts for "read write from text file"
-- Search java.sun.com for information on the java.io package.
That should clear just about everything up. If you have more specific problems, feel free to come back and post them.

Some additional comments:
You really don't want to read any file one character at a time, because it is highly inefficient. More typically, you read the entire file into memory with one operation (or at least a large chunk, if the file is gigantic) and then do the rest of the operations in memory. One easy way to analyze it one byte at a time would be to use "string to byte array" and then autoindex into a FOR loop, for example.
Of course you could also read the file directly as a U8 array instead of a string.

Getting repeated values when reading from a text file.

I need to read from a text file. When the token encounters a particular word (command) I need to read the next line and perform some actions. However, this part is working but it is repeating the values again and again until it encounters the next particular word (command). Hope that someone will help me out, as always when I posted a problem in these forums.

                    if (fr != null)
                         // close file

Thanks for your interest. Please ignore SetOperations class, it is just the class containing the methods and it works correctly since I checked it without reading from a text file. I marked the part where I think lies my problem in class SetTestOperations.
The information in the text file is as follows:
membera
Hillman
membera
Skoda
membera
Honda
membera
Toyota
and the result is:
[0] Hillman
Number of set members: 1
[0] Hillman
[1] Skoda
Number of set members: 2
[0] Hillman
[1] Skoda
[2] Honda
Number of set members: 3
[0] Hillman
[1] Skoda
[2] Honda
[3] Toyota
Number of set members: 4
instead of just one set:
[0] Hillman
[1] Skoda
[2] Honda
[3] Toyota
Number of set members: 4
Hope it is easier to understand like this.

I need to read from a text file. When the token
encounters a particular word (command) I need to read
the next line and perform some actions. However, this
part is working but it is repeating the values again
and again until it encounters the next particular
word (command). Hope that someone will help me out,
as always when I posted a problem in these forums.

How to read in a text file of race lap times....

How do i read in a text file containing lap times from a race for one driver?
I have the times down 1 column and look like this.
I then want to add the times up to get a total race time. I have been looking at the Calendar class and the simpleDateFunction but not sure how to go about it.

Considering that your times have non-numerical chars you have no choice but to read them as Strings. Once you have done that you will need to parse the times yourself, ie spilt it into the three separate bits of data. Then you can use the Calendar class if you wish or you can keep a running tally yourself. Just don't forget to tick over seconds when milliseconds reaches 999 and tick over minutes when seconds reach 59.

Read in a text file and parse at spaces

I need to read in a text file, then split it at the spaces (after each word)
then I would like to save each sentence (maybe as a String Buffer)
(chek each word to see if a .?! is at the end to determine the end of a sentence)
Then I need to add the word END to the end of the StringBuffer
then store each sentence as an element in an arrayList.
Please Help.

Cant you just store the entire text file into a really big String, then split it at each "."?
String text = "";
//read file into text
String[] sentences = text.split(".");

Is it possible to read/write to text file without deleting it?

I know how to read from a text file and how to write to a text file. The problem that i have is i need to use a text file to store data for my application to read and also for my application to write. I would like it if i could write two programs really, one reads, the other is used to update the text file. This file is a list of verbs. I thought about using databases but i couldn't get them to work. I downloaded MySQL server 5.0 and installed it. I then downloaded the driver from http://www.mysql.com/products/driver and ran the auto installer. it said everything worked out perfectly but when i try these lines:
Class.forName("com.mysql.jdbc.Driver");
I get a SQLException that says no suitible driver
Class.forName("sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver");
( I thought this driver came with the JDK but i guess not, i just read about it in a java book)
I get a ClassNotFoundException
that just says sun.jdbc.odbc.JdbcOdbcDriver
So yeah, SQL is pretty much not working. I need a solution to my problem, either by using text files, or a different type of database. I heard you could use excel to create a database but i have no idea how and i hear microsoft access could also do this, however i don't have microsoft access and i don't intend on paying for it. So, here are my questions:
1st, is there a tutorial on using excel databases in java programs
(if not)
2nd is there a way to read/write/update a text file without deleting it?
(if not)
3rd is there a way to get SQL working, i have windows vista this could be the problem
(if not)
4th what could i do to store information on the hd for reading and modifying later?
thanks, lateralus

A database might be overkill just for a list of words.
Thoughts:
<ul>
<li>What is the extent of your "file updating"? If you are just appending to the file, opening it in append mode will keep the file from being clobbered.</li>
<li>Otherwise, why not create new files instead of editting them? The file names could include a version number or timestamp, allowing the reader to select the newest one.
</li>
</ul>

How to read the whole text file lines using FTP adapter

Hi all,
How to read the whole text file lines when error occured middle of the text file reading.
after it is not reading the remaining lines . how to read the whole text file using FTP adapter
pls can you help me

Yes there is you need to use the uniqueMessageSeparator property. Have a look at the following link for its implementation.

Reading of a text file in J2ME

Hi,
I have a problem with the reading of a text file:
String conn = "file:///root1/formazione.txt";
FileConnection file = (FileConnection)Connector.open(conn,Connector.READ);
InputStream is = null;
if(filecon2.exists()) {
DataInputStream dis = file.openDataInputStream();
dis.readUTF());
Error is:
java.io.EOFException
at java.io.DataInputStream.readFully(+48)
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(+30)
at java.io.DataInputStream.readUTF(+4)
at mainPackage.FileReader.run(+597)
Must I read byte and change it in String?

How did you write the file? Did you use writeUTF?
Try reading the file through a normal read, read() or read(byte[])

Help with reading in a text file and arrays

I need to read in a text file with info like this for example
dave
martha
dave
billy
I can read the information into an array and display the names but what I need to do is display how many times the same name is in the file for example the output should be
dave 2
martha 1
billy 1
How can I accomplish this? Would I use a Compareto Method to find
duplicate names?

Hi,
I would recommend storing them in a Hashtable.. something like this:
Hashtable names = new Hashtable() ;
String s ;
while( ( s = bufferedReader.readLine() ) != null ) {
    if ( names.contains( s ) ) {
       names.put( s , new Integer( names.get(s)+1 ) ) ;
    else {
       names.put( s , new Integer( 1 ) ) ;
}Then the hashtable will contain a set of keys and values, which are the names and counts respectively.

Reading in a text file

For my next project I'm supposed to read in a text file and then compute the legibility index. How do I go about reading in a text file?

You should check your double equal signs in that procedure....
Also, the logic you posted above (which I followed), doesn't work perfectly for calculating the number of syllables...for instance, the word "Romeo" contains 3 syllables, but the program will only count two...basically some words which contain the vowels 'io' and 'eo' sometimes are 1 syllable and sometimes are 2....but my program does come close to the indexes listed on the website you mentioned.
Anyways, here is what I have for a very hackish approach (not modularized, but I don't have time to fix it I'm, I'm off work soon).

            //split the words up by spaces
            words = line.split("\\s+");
            //add number of words in the line just read to total count
