Reading file data

Hi there,
I'm trying to read data from a file in a class.
The data is in binary format.
Because the data is in Intel format ( that's at least what I'm assuming ) I'm not able to read this for example using the RadomAccessFile Class.
For example the first 4 bytes of a file are indicating the size of the data in the file.
The size is 59978 bytes and i'm reading the 4 bytes as an Integer.
The bytes are in the order "4A EA 00 00" not as expected "00 00 EA 4A".
Has anybody some experience with this and can give me some hint how to handle this.

i guess, you can use the FileReader and BufferReader and do this, as follows
FileReader fr = new FileReader("filename");
          BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
          String s;
          try {
          while((s = br.readLine()) != null ){
               System.out.println(s);
          fr.close();
               } catch(IOException e) {}
if this is not what you wanted, let me know.

  • Reading Unicode data from a file...

    I am writing an application that needs to read some configuration data from a file. An end user edits the configuration file to provide the configuration data. The Java code reads this file and uses the configuration data supplied by the user.
    The user can also save non-ascii characters as part of the configuration data. hence, I do not want to use java properties files. What are the other options available that allow me reading Unicode data into my Java code and will also allow user to save the configuration file as Unicode?

    Java characters are Unicode characters. Read file data that consists of Unicode characters as Java characters or strings.
    You can read the data as primitive char values using the DataInputStream class. The InputStreamReader class can also read Unicode (UTF-16) data.
    Data can be written using the OutputStreamWriter class.

    The problem is in the delimiters in your text file. By default, Read From Spreadsheet File.vi expects a tab delimited file. You can specify a delimiter (like a space), but Read From Spreadsheet File.vi has a problem with repeated delimiters: if you specify a single space as a delimiter and Read From Spreadsheet File.vi finds two spaces back-to-back, it stops reading that line. Your file (as I got it from your earlier post) is delimited by 4 spaces.
    Here are some of your choices to fix your problem.
    1. Change the source file to a tab delimited file. Your VI will then run as is.
    2. Change the source file to be delimited by a single space (rather than 4), then wire a string constant containing one space to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi.
    3. Wire a string constant containing 4 spaces to the delimiter input of Read From Spreadsheet File.vi. Then your text file will run as is.
    Depending on where your text file comes from (see more comments below), I'd vote for choice 1: a tab delimited text file. It's the most common text output of spreadsheet programs.
    Comments for choices 1 and 2: Where does the text file come from? Is it automatically generated or manually generated? Will it be generated multiple times or just once? If it's manually generated or generated just once, you can use any text editor to change 4 spaces to a tab or to a single space. Note: if you want to change it to a tab delimited file, you can't enter a tab directly into a box in the search & replace dialog of many programs like notepad, but you can do a cut and paste. Before you start your search and replace (just in the text window of the editor), press tab. A tab character will be entered. Press Shift-LeftArrow (not Backspace) to highlight the tab character. Press Ctrl-X to cut the tab character. Start your search and replace (Ctrl-H in notepad in Windows 2000). Click into the Find What box. Enter four spaces. Click into the Replace With box. Press Ctrl-V to paste the tab character. And another thing: older versions of notepad don't have search and replace. Use any editor or word processor that does.

  • Open Data Set Error while trying to read file from non SAP server

    Hi all,
    is it possible to read data from non-SAP application Sever?
    I'm using OPEN DATASET p_filin FOR INPUT IN LEGACY TEXT MODE CODE PAGE '1504',
    Where p_filin is other Windows server.Our applicition server is under Unix.Is it a problem?
    I make test to read file from SAP application server and it was ok.So how to call other server?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    Yes it is possible to read data from a non SAP server through the statement OPEN DATASET.
    The important thing to check is that the SAP Server got enough access to the non SAP server so it can perform a reading/writing process depending on your needs.
    You should contact your network administrator and BASIS to help you check the permissions. This can be pretty tricky, specially if the servers are in different domains.

    Hi OraSuirya,
    you can try with external tables .
    syntax as follows
    create table ext_table_csv (
    i Number,
    n Varchar2(20),
    m Varchar2(20)
    organization external (
    type oracle_loader
    default directory ext_dir
    access parameters (
    records delimited by newline
    fields terminated by ','
    missing field values are null
    location ('file.csv')
    reject limit unlimited;
    For this you need to create directory
    Directory Creation syntax:
    create or replace directory ext_dir as 'D:\oracle\user_dir\ext_dir';
    grant read, write on directory ext_dir to <User>;
    please paste the excel file in the particular directory .
    I hope this will help you.
    Please correct me if I am wrong anywhere .

  • Populate a table reading the data from a TXT file

    how can I populate a table reading the data from a TXT file?
    thanks

    Hey Kevin!
    Using FORMS.TEXT_IO to bulk load data from a file strikes me as re-inventing the wheel. It is just about justifiable in a self-service environment, but I regard the EXTERNAL TABLE is a better solution for that situation as well.
    The same applies to UTL_FILE. I think the ability to read text with UTL_FILE is primarily intended for read file-based configuration or file manipulation/processing rather than data loading.
    Re-writing a text file into SQL statements is too much like hard work (even with an editor that supports macro definition and regular expressions) for no real benefit. You lose all the bulk load peformance you would get from SQL*Loader. But for QAD I'd probably let you off with it.
    You missed out one obvious alternative: using Java to turn the contents of an XML file into a CLOB and inserting it into a table which is read by a PL/SQL procedure that parses the XML records and insert the retrieved data into a table.

  • Reading XML data from .pages file

    Hi All!
    I've been trying to get a script up and running, but frankly I'm lost. The script should read the date, lesson no, and name fields from a .pages file and then use that information to send an e-mail.
    What I'm having a problem with is reading the data from the .pages file and I don't know what the best way to do it is because I'm still a novice at this.
    So there are two ways I can think of:
    1. Read directly from the Pages document when it is open. The problem with this is that it's a Pages template and it contains tables. Perhaps the easiest thing would be just to select certain cells directly from pages, but I have no idea how they're labeled or how to access them so I came up with a second idea. If you happen to know how to do this, I would greatly appreciate it.
    2. Pages documents can be unzipped and one of the files is an xml file with a lot of tags and the data I need. I found the following post that talks about how to parse XML via an XSL stylesheet. After going through some tutorials, I got stuck because the xml itself in the Pages file is just a mess to me and I'm confused about which node to choose. In other xml docs you can see a clear, nicely laid out tabbed structure so you can at least figure out the path to the node you want. I stumbled across a nice script for TextWrangler which cleans up XML, but it just barks at the Pages file.
    3. On top of that, I will need to use the name field and match that with an Address Book e-mail address. Should I change the template and make it into an address book field?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paul

    The script should read the date, lesson no, and name fields from a .pages file and then use that information to send an e-mail.
    Maybe you might want to try the following script:
    tell application "Pages"
        activate
        tell foreground layer of page 1 of front document
            select (text box 1 whose vertical position < 0.5)
            tell application "System Events"
                keystroke "c" using {command down} -- ⌘C
                keystroke "a" using {shift down, command down} -- ⇧⌘A
            end tell
            set theText to the clipboard
        end tell
    end tell
    set TID to AppleScript's text item delimiters
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to tab
    set theTextFields to text items of theText
    set AppleScript's text item delimiters to TID
    set {theDate, theLessonNo, theStudent} to {item 2, item 4, item 6} of theTextFields

  • How to read the 'date modified' of a file?

    I need to read the date that a file was modified so I can see
    if it has been updated. The file is just a text file in the same
    directory as my swf file.
    I tried using FLfile.getModificationDate, but it doesn't seem
    to work. Every way I write the code, I get no response. It does not
    seem to find the file. I even tried using the FLfile.write as a
    test, without luck. I searched and the FLfile.dll is on my machine,
    but I wonder if I have to somehow let the flash file know its
    there.
    I also tried using FileReference.modificationDate, but from
    what I have come to understand, I need to populate the
    FileReference object and that populating the FileReference object
    involves uploading or downloading the file. I'm not up or
    downloading the file, I just need to know if it has been updated by
    other software. Otherwise, how do I populate the FileReference
    object. Can it check on dates without up or downloading?
    Does anyone have an idea of the best way to read the date
    that the file was modified?
    Thank you.

    quite right, you need to create a Project (and a JavaScript
    file)
    then you can use the JavaScript that you want to use

  • How to read multiple dat files.

    Hello Everyone!
    I am working on a project that requires one file that creates a JFrame with a current file title, JTextFields that accesses two .dat files and a JButton.
    The user clicks a JButton to cycle through the first sequential .dat file. When the end of the first file is reached the file is closed, the JFrame title is changed to the second file title as the user continues to click the JButton to continue on viewing the second file?s records, until the second reaches the end of file.
    The project requires using Try-Catches to catch the EOF exceptions and IOExceptions and Thread or Runnable.
    I have been able to get one file to read and display its records; however, researching back through my text on how to read/write to files I haven?t been able to determine how to get to the end of the file and proceed to the next file without triggering the EOFException. I have even tried multiple Try-Catches (one for each file within the actionPerformed method) and that ends up ignoring the first file records and only displays the second files records.
    This is a school project and we have only covered just the bare basics of Java over the last two months. So, any hints that anyone can provide can only be of what type of procedure will be needed or what procedure won?t help to complete the task, without giving away the solution.
    I have spent approximately 40 hours of study time on this project and believe that I have definitely run into a major snag.
