Reading a simple text file..
Hi,
can somebody point me to an example please?
I have a file like below. I want to read LINE-by-LINE and do some
operation on every line and then next...
100000;32755;-31412;-30342;28086
100000;32755;-31389;-30324;28041
TIA
I think you might be better off reading the entire file at once with Read From spreadsheet File and then manipulating the resulting 2D array, but if you want to do it line by line then a good place to start is the Read Lines From File function on the File I/O palette. Inside of this is a case structure and case 2 reads one line at a time for x number of lines or until EOF is found.

Cannot print a simple Text File
Hello All,
I wrote the following program
import java.io.*;
import java.awt.print.*;
import javax.print.*;
import javax.print.attribute.*;
import javax.print.attribute.standard.*;
public class TestPrint
public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(new File("pds.txt"));
byte[] fileByte = new byte[34];
int read = 0;
int counter = 0;
while((read = fis.read()) != -1)
fileByte[counter++] = (byte)read;
PrintService services[] = PrinterJob.lookupPrintServices();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(MediaSizeName.ISO_A4);
aset.add(new Copies(1));
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fileByte, flavor, null);
DocPrintJob pj = services[0].createPrintJob();
pj.print(doc, aset);
}The file I am trying to print is a simple text file. My requirement is to convert it to an array of bytes and then print it.
However I get the exception
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: data is not of de
clared type
at javax.print.SimpleDoc.<init>(Unknown Source)
at TestPrint.main(TestPrint.java:25)
Please help me. I would appriciate any help in this matter.
regards,
Abhishek.
PS: The contents of the file (pds.txt) which I am trying to print is
PDS

pdsHi,
you get a java.lang.IllegalArgumentException in line 25:
So we take the Java API for SimpleDoc:
IllegalArgumentException - if flavor or printData is null, or the printData does not correspond to the specified doc flavor--for example, the data is not of the type specified as the representation in the DocFlavor.
Since fileByte seems not the be null, the type must be wrong!
In line 21 we see:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
so fileByte must be type java.io.InputStream, which it isn�t. This causes your IllegalArgumentException.
So try in line 21:
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.BYTE_ARRAY.TEXT_PLAIN_US_ASCII;
Let me know if that was the reason!
Best regards

Reading Tab Delimited Text File
HI
I am having problem in reading Tab Delimited text file.
If i place some spaces in name of text file. it dosn`t read the file.
if there is a simple name without space, then it reads easily.
but when having space in file name then it shows nothing.
PLZ help me .......
give me some code or links to solution
thanks!Could you post up an example of the file? With a FedEx report file, I created an application to read each line and split the String into an array where ever a [tab] exists. Since the columns aren't evenly tabbed, I used a regular expression to replace any whitespace in a with a \t (tab). Now it takes that line and splits it into an array where the [tab] exists. Then I access that specific column in the String by line.

High Score Table: Writing a Simple Text File with Flash and PHP
I am having a problem getting Flash to work with PHP as I need Flash to read and write to a text file on a server to store simple name/score data for a games hi score table. I can read from the text file into Flash easily enough but also need to write to the file when a new high score is reached, so I need to use PHP to do that. I can send the data from flash to the php file via POST but so far it is not working. The PHP file is confirmed as working as I added an echo to the file which displayed a message so I could check that the server was running PHP - the files were also uploaded to a remote server so I could test them properly. Flash code is as follows:
//php filewriter
var myLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
//sets up variable 'hsdata' to send to php
myLV.hsdata = myText;
myLV.send("hiscores.php");
I believe this sends the variable 'myText' to the php file as a variable called 'hsdata' which I want the php file to write into a text file. The mytext variable is just a long string that has all the scores and names in the hiscore. OK, XML would be better way of doing this but for speed I just want to get basic functionality working, so storing a simple text sting is adequate for now. The PHP code that reads the Flash 'hsdata' variable and writes it to the text file 'scores.txt' follows:
<?php
//assigns to variable the data POSTed from flash
$flashdata = $_POST["hsdata"];
//file handler opens file and erases all contents with w arg
$fh = fopen("scores.txt","w");
//adds data to file
fwrite ($fh,$flashdata);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
echo 'php file is working';
?>
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated - once I can get php to write simple text files I should be ok. Thanks.Thanks for your help.
I have got Flash working to a certain extent with PHP using loadVars but have been unable to get flash to receive a variable declared in PHP. Here's my Flash code:
var outLV = new LoadVars();
var inLV = new LoadVars();
function sendData() {
outLV.hsdata = "Hello from Flash";
outLV.sendAndLoad("http://www.mysite.com/hiscores/test23.php",inLV,"post");
inLV.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
//sets dynamic text box to show variable sent from php
statusTxt.text = phpmess;
} else {
statusTxt.text = "No Data Received";
This works ok and the inLV.onLoad function reports that it is receiving data but does not display the variable received from PHP. The PHP file is like this:
<?php
$mytxt =$_POST['hsdata'];
$myfile = "test23.txt";
$fh = fopen($myfile,'w');
//adds data to file
fwrite($fh, $mytxt);
//closes file
fclose ($fh);
$mess = "hello there from php";
echo ("&phpmess=$mess&");
?>
The PHP file is correctly receiving the hsdata from flash and writing it to a text file, but there seems to be a problem with the final part of the code which is intended to send a variable called 'phpmess' back to Flash, this is the string "hello there from php". How do I set up Flash and PHP so that PHP can send a variable back to Flash using echo? Really have tried everything but am totally baffled. Online tutorials have given numerous different syntax configurations for how the PHP file should be written which has really confused me - any help would be greatly 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. -
How to read from a text file one character at a time?

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

TrevConsidering 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, lateralusA 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>
