Reading files in a folder

hmm...
i got a problem..
i am required to read a file in a folder.
that should be quite easy but the problem is i don't know the file name.
what i have is the folder name and extention.(might have more than 1 file with the same ext but i want to read every file)
is there any way to do it like a cursor? or smth like tat?
my qns is is it possible?
if it is, how?
thanks

Please click on the link below for a method that you can use to load file names from a directory into an Oracle table. Then you can loop through the rows of that table in your code.

Reading file from a folder : File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);

Hi,
Trying to read files from a dir on my site using a JSP and bean. I've tried nearly every option for the filepath I can think of and it doesn't seem to be finding the file...
Here's the bit:
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
It's working locally, but I obviously had to change the path from c://... to the above.
The full code is listed below in the addWedding Method
The method removes the .jpg from the file name and then writes the new file name to a database
Thanks for any insight.
Regards
Jim
public String addWedding(String aFile_to_add)
String feedback = "unset in scrubWedding";
try
String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
Class.forName("org.gjt.mm.mysql.Driver");
java.sql.Connection connection = java.sql.DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:mysql://localhost/rhwedd2_shop?user=**********&password=*******");
java.sql.Statement statement = connection.createStatement();
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add);
String[] files = dir.list();
if (files == null)
feedback = "Sorry, couldn't find the file "+aFile_to_add+"...no files have been added.";
else
for (int i=0; i<files.length; i++)
// Get filename of file or directory
String filename = files;
String no_extension;
//convert string array element into a char array
char [] charsfilename = filename.toCharArray();
int newlength = charsfilename.length -4;
no_extension = String.valueOf(charsfilename,0,newlength);
filesAdded = filesAdded+", "+no_extension;
// Show the new file names in stack trace without extension
//System.out.println("String no_extension " + no_extension );
statement.executeUpdate("INSERT INTO items VALUES ('"+no_extension+"',5,'"+aFile_to_add+"')");
// write to table with item_id and weddingid
feedback = "The following files have been added..."+filesAdded;
if (statement != null )
statement.close();
if ( connection != null )
connection.close();
catch(Exception e)
feedback = "Into the catch";
e.printStackTrace(System.err) ;
return feedback;
}//end addWedding

String URL = "images\\wedding_photos\\";
File dir = new File(URL+aFile_to_add); ok, ok, I'll answer...
1) What gives you the impression that the relative directory "images\\..." exists (or, in other words, what makes you think your current directory is the parent of "images"?

Read file from shared folder

Hi,
I want to read a file "test.txt" from the server "XY" (my own PC) with the shared folder "devices$"
I want to check first whether the file exists:
FileInfo myFile = new FileInfo(@"\\XY\devices$\test.txt");
if (myFile.Exists)
Console.WriteLine("exists");
else
Console.WriteLine("does not exist");
The result is always "does not exist" even though the file exists, why??

I tested your code, It works fine on my side. So i doubt whether the file
exists. Please check your file. Or do you have right to access the file?

Read Files in KM Folder

Hi,
I am trying to read the files in a KM directory using JSP.
We are on SAP Portal 7.31 SP09 and we are using AFP layout.
I am getting the following error on the below line of code:
Code :
RID rid = RID.getRID("/documents");
ICollection resCollection = (ICollection) ResourceFactory.getInstance().getResource(rid, ctxt);
Error : ClassNotFoundException: com.sap.netweaver.bc.rf.common.exception.RepositoryException
I have read many blogs and trying to fix this issue.
I have imported the com.sap.tc~km~frwk.war and this project is referenced in my JSP Project buildpath. But still I am getting this error. I also tried to export this war project to jar and added to my current project build path. But still no luck.
Could some one please help me on this issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Visweswara Rao Andhe.

your Km folder can be sorted based on the 'Creation date' in descendgin order.
Then you will get all the latest documents in the top of your folder.
You can do this in the Collectione renderer of your layoutset used.
There in the sorting mode you can give cm_created

Dreamweaver Template Error: Error reading file (Site Location/info) returned incomplete data

Hello!
I am working on new website we are creating for our company. I have never really had any Dreamweaver template file errors before...so this one has me really stumped! We purchased the site files from Template Monster and I have contacted their tech support, but I have not had much luck with them.
I started out by creating the Dreamweaver template folder that includes the template files that I would like to use. I started creating some pages using the template. I placed all the html pages in the main folder of the website. When I go to update the template to those pages I get the following error: "Error reading file (Site Location\Folder name\Dreamweaver template name) returned incomplete data".
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated!
The site is a CSS based site with a Flash navigation menu. Since it is in the production phase, I do not yet have it placed on a server so you can take a look at it at this time (although if really needed and we cannot find an answer, I may be able to get the test site on line - if someone thinks they can help me answer this problem by viewing the site). Right now the site is housed in the same place we house all of the other sites we have produced and all of our other templates on our other websites work just fine. The main difference with this site is that we did purchase files from Template Monster to help speed us along during the construction of the page structures and also this site has a Flash Navigation Menu and a few other Flash elements (something our other sites do not really have).
I am using Abobe Dreamweaver CS5 and Windows 7
Thanks again for taking the time to help find and answer to this problem!

I am curious as to why no one likes them around here.
They have spammed these forums in the past.
The code on their pages is rarely 'best-practice' code.
There are much better choices available.
My co-worker and I have to share the files, since we are editing the site together. The files are not local on our computers, but on the company's f drive that have Novell on it.
This arrangement is a recipe for disaster. The correct way to collaborate on a site with a colleague is with the following setup:
Each of you must have a LOCAL site (local to your workstation)
You would use a single remote location as a staging area, so each of you would have a site definition that specifies your own workstation for the local site, and the same network shared location as the Remote site
You will both need to enable Check In/ Check Out
You will both have to agree to PLAY BY THE RULES!
One (or both) of you will also need to have a second site defined that has the staging server as the local root folder, and would have the PRODUCTION server as the remote site. I'll explain how to use this site soon.
When you use CI/CO, your 'gold-standard files' are on the staging server. To begin working, you would connect to the staging server, and double click on a file, which will a) fetch the file from the staging server to your local site, and b) CHECK OUT the file to you. As long as you have the file checked out, it cannot be edited by your colleague. When you are done with your edit, you would CHECK IN the file (which uploads it to the staging server). It can now be edited by your colleague.
When you add templates to this scenario, things get even more complicated, although manageable. If you ever need to make a change to a template you must use the following procedure:
ALL FILES MUST BE CHECKED IN - this includes both you and your colleague.
One of you would connect with the SECOND SITE, open and edit the template, and save it propagating the changes to all "LOCAL" files (i.e., on the staging server).
Each of you would then need to return to the FIRST SITE, and again check out any files you want to work on.
When changes are done, and files are ready to publish, connect to the SECOND SITE, and upload the files from STAGING to PRODUCTION.
Does that make sense? It's important that it does.
I need to add in one more tab/link to the Flash nav bar.
Using Flash for navigation is a VERY POOR CHOICE, unless you also have redundant, text-based navigation on the pages. By using Flash to navigate, you guarantee: a) your pages will not be spiderable by search engines, b) your pages will not be navigable by iPlatforms, and c) your pages will be inaccessible to anyone browsing with screen assistive devices. Someone is making bad decisions about this site, in my opinion.

Reading a file from a folder.

Hi everyone,
I am trying to modify my first java program.
The method below is used to read a file that is hard coded in the below method. What I would like it to do is to pick up files that are stored in a folder. The reason for this is that the file names will never be the same.
I am unsure how to do this and would appreciate some help from you.
Thanks in advance.

I could not compile your code. But if you wanted to get all .txt files from a folder then you could do something like this
class EndsWith implements FilenameFilter {
     String ext;
     public EndsWith(String ext) {
          this.ext = "." + ext;
     public boolean accept(File dir, String name) {
          return name.endsWith(ext);
     public static void main(String args[]) {
          String srcDir="C:/temp/";
          try {
               File srcFiles = new File(srcDir);
              FilenameFilter filteredFiles = new EndsWith("txt");
              String sourceDir[]=srcFiles.list(filteredFiles);
              for(int i=0;i<sourceDir.length;i++)
                   String fileName = srcDir+sourceDir;
          System.out.println(fileName);
          FileReader file = new FileReader(fileName);
          //..your code here
          }catch(IOException ioe) {
               ioe.printStackTrace();
NOTE: I haven't tested this code. You can give a try.

Hi,
You are trying to read file wrong way. In the tutorial of Java Excel Api: "JExcelApi can read an Excel spreadsheet from a file stored on the local filesystem or from some input stream.". You are trying to read from file system. So you must get file input stream then you can read it. Please search forums KM file read.

Script to set all files in a folder to "Read and Write" permissions? Please

In advance my most abject apologies for posting such a simple question. I couldn't script my way out of a paper bag, and searching and googling have failed, no doubt because I don't even have the proper keywords. :-/
The script I need is so simple that it most likely exists somewhere already. Whenever I copy image files from a DVD-ROM or CD-ROM burned on a Windows laptop to my desktop Mac, the files and folders therein are "Read Only" on my Mac. If there are many files in the folder, it's very easy to Select All and do a Get Info on multiple items, so I can rectify the situation by changing the whole set in a single step. But if I have ten files or less in a folder, each file opens an Info dialog box and that can become very tedious when I have scores of folders with nine or so files in each.
Any guidance will be much appreciated.

You can attach a folder action to your destination folder, for example:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
on adding folder items to ThisFolder after receiving AddedItems
repeat with AnItem in AddedItems
tell application "Finder" to set owner privileges of AnItem to read write
-- tell application "Finder" to set everyones privileges of AnItem to read write
end repeat
end adding folder items to
</pre>

Read all the files in a folder over and over again

I want to develop an application that reads all the files in a folder, and once its done reading those files it reads all the files again.
The purpose for this application is to read all the files in a folder that are continuously being stored in that folder, so that when a new file is created, that file is also read by the application. I then need to compare the date and time in which the file was created to the actual date and time of the system, so that way I can get the most recent file, and then I will do other operations with this file.
The thing is that I know how to read all the files in a directory, but I don't know how to cycle through those files again, in order to look for the most recent one, and I don't know how to make the comparison of the time stamps, because I need a precision of one second in the system time and the time the file was created.
Can someone please help me?
Thanks in advance!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think that I just went the wrong direction.
What I wanted to do in the first place, was to rename and overwrite every new file in a directory with the same name and file extension, so that every new file overwrites the old file. The thing is that the list folder only lists the files the first time and then keeps on telling me there are no files to be read even though there are new files.
What I need now is a way to overwrite the old files with the same name, and keep searching for every new file that is going to be stored in the directory.
I will leave the code that I have right now, so that you can tell me what do I need to modify in order to read every new file that's going to be created in that directory.
Thanks in advance for your help!

How to Read all files inside resource Folder inside Jar?

I have a Jar file,,,, The program reads for resource files in the resource folder inside the Jar. I want my program to read all files inside this folder without knowing the names or the number of files in the folder.
I am using this to make an Applet easy to be updated with spicific files. I just want to add a file inside the resource folder and Jar the program and automatically the program reads what ever is in there!!
I used the File class to get all file names inside the resource folder. it works fine before Jarring the program. After I jar I recieve a URI not Herarichy Exception!!
File fold=new java.io.File(getClass().getResource(folder).toURI());
String[] files=fold.list();
I hope the question is clear!!

How to get the directory and jar file that you class resides in:
// returns path and jarfile (ex: /home/mydir/my.jar)
public String getJarfileName()
        // Get the location of the jar file and the jar file name
        java.net.URL outputURL = YourClass.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation();
        String outputString = outputURL.toString();
        String[] parseString;
        int index1 = outputString.indexOf(":");
        int index2 = outputString.lastIndexOf(":");
        if (index1!=index2) // Windows/DOS uses C: naming convention
           parseString = outputString.split("file:/");
        else
           parseString = outputString.split("file:");
        String jarFilename = parseString[1];
       return jarFilename;
}If your my.jar was in /home/mydir, it will store "/home/mydir/my.jar" in jarFilename.
note: getLocation returns "file:/C:/home/mydir/my.jar" for Windows/DOS and "file:/home/mydir/my.jar" for windows, thus why I look for the first and last index of the colon so I can correctly split the string.
If you want to grab a file in the jar file and get an InputStream, do the following:
import java.io.*;
import java.util.Enumeration;
// jar stuff
import java.util.jar.*;
import java.util.zip.ZipEntry;
public class Jaris
   private JarFile jf;
   public Jaris(String jarFilename) throws Exception
       try
                       jf = new JarFile(jarFilename);
       catch (Exception e)
            jf=null;
            throw(e);
   public InputStream getInputStream(String matchString) throws Exception
       ZipEntry ze=null;
       try
          Enumeration resources = jf.entries();
          while ( resources.hasMoreElements() )
             JarEntry je = (JarEntry) resources.nextElement();
             // find a file that matches this string from anywhere in my jar file
             if ( je.getName().matches(".*\\"+matchString) )
                String filename=je.getName();
                ze=jf.getEntry(filename);
      catch (Exception e)
         throw(e);
      InputStream is = jf.getInputStream(ze);
      return is;
   // for testing the Jaris methods
   public static void main(String[] args)
      try
           String jarFilename=getJarfileName();
           Jaris jis = new Jaris(jarFilename); // this is the string we got from the other method listed above
           InputStream is=jis.getInputStream("myfile.txt"); // can be used for xml, xsl, etc
      catch (Exception e)
         // this is just a test, so we'll ignore the exception
}Happy coding! :)

I don't think you understand: I want to open Dreamweaver and build a brand new site, then when I am done I want to host the dreamweaver site on the Business Catalyst platform. I dont want to use anything in BC to build the site, I just want to use the hosting platform. I do not want to import a BC site into dreamweaver or anything like that. I just want to use BC the same way I would use godaddy, or uhost or any other hosting provider. Based on your response you said that "of course its possible to build a BC site in Dreamweaver" I dont want to build a BC site, I want to build a Dreamweaver site and host it on the BC platform. Like I said before it doesnt seem like this is possible. As of now we can only build a new site in MUSE and integrate it into BC without using a BC template. Can you understand what I am saying. I DONT WANT TO USE A BC TEMPLATE, I WANT NOTHING TO DO WITH BC WHILE I AM BUILDING THE SITE WITH DREAMWEAVER, JUST LIKE MUSE DOES.

Display PDF in different window by reading Binary file in MIME folder.

Hi all,
I've kept binary file in MIME folder and I'm trying to read the contents of it. and I'm trying to display contents in pdf format in separate window.
For this I was able to read the file by using FileInputStream
byte[] bytes = new byte[1000];
     try
              //File file = new File(WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath(wdComponentAPI.getDeployableObjectPart(),"data.bin"));
               File file = new File(WDURLGenerator.getResourcePath("test.bin"));
               FileInputStream is = new FileInputStream(file);
              long length = file.length();
               //Create the byte array to hold the data
               byte[] bytesA = new byte[(int)length];
               //Read in the bytes
                int offset = 0;
                int numRead = 0;
                while (offset < bytesA.length&& (numRead=is.read(bytesA, offset, bytesA.length-offset)) >= 0)
                     offset += numRead;
                    is.close();
               bytes = bytesA;
               wdContext.currentContextElement().setPdfSource(bytes);
             catch(Exception e)
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error Reading File:"+e.getCause(),true);
               wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportException("Error Reading File To String:"+e.toString(),true);
I've to show this in external window. I created attribute "pdfResource" of type binary
and declared in the source
private ISimpleType myPdfDoc;
After that I added this bit of code in Init Method
myPdfDoc = wdContext.getNodeInfo().getAttribute("pdfResource").getModifiableSimpleType();
((IWDModifiableBinaryType)myPdfDoc).setMimeType(WDWebResourceType.PDF);
((IWDModifiableBinaryType)myPdfDoc).setFileName("PDF");
After this I made an action handler which has following code.
final byte[] documentContent = bytes
final String docUrl = myPdfDoc.format( bytes );
String docUrl = myPdfDoc.format(bytes);
IWDWindow window = wdComponentAPI.getWindowManager().createExternalWindow(docURL,"Resource", true);
window.open();
But it is throwing Null Pointer exception for Init Method and also while displaying.
Where is that I'm faltering. Any Pointers will be help ful
Thanks

First of all why do you need those three lines of code in your wdDoInit() ?
Simply, you may use this:
IWDCachedWebResource cachedResource = null;
String url = null;
byte[] pdf = wdContext.currentContextElement().getPdfSource();
if (pdf != null) {
   cachedResource = WDWebResource.getWebResource(pdf, WDWebResourceType.PDF);
   url = cachedResource.getURL();
