Reading from a text/xml file

Can someone help me out with some code to read the contents of a text file and place them in a string, i.e. text file called text.txt contains red fast old.
I want to read this in and then use a string tokeniser to separate them into 3 sep strings and them ultimately use them as options in a GUI.
i.e. if the first one is red then the colour combo box will have red as the currently selected option.
Is this the best way to do it, or can someone suggest a simpler way?

Looks like a Properties file to me:

  • FTP to Read content of Text/xml file

    Hi,
    I need a help for reading content of text/xml file through FTP. Below I just am explaining the scenario.
    Our application server is in UNIX. Now we have to run a report program to access in to a FTP server which is in windows platform. Using FTP_CONNECT, FTP_COMMAND, FTP_DISCONNECT we are able to connect to FTP server and also able to copy files from FTP server to SAP application server. After copied in application server, we are able to read the content of the txt file in to internal table in ABAP program using OPEN DATASET. But our requirement is that we want to read the text or xml file content into internal table while accessing into FTP server from SAP application instead of after copying the file into application server.
    So please help me to solve my problem.

    Thank you Bala,
    But can you help me what should I pass against FNAME and CHARACTER_MODE Import parameter? Should I pass the full path of the file with name or only I have to pass file name ? For example if my text file name in FTP Server is test.txt and the IP of the ftp server is 10.10.2.3 then should I pass the value against FNAME as '
    10.10.2.3\xyz\text.txt' ? Here xyz is the name of the directory in C drive where test.txt is exist.
    Please help me.

  • How to read the contents of XML file from my java code

    All,
    I created an rtf report for one of my EBS reports. Now I want to email this report to several people. Using Tim's blog I implemented the email part. I am sending emails to myself based on the USERID logic.
    However I want to email to different people other then me. My email addresses are in the XML file.
    From the java program which sends the email, how can I read the fields from XML file. If any one has done this, Please point me to the right examples.
    Please let me know if there are any exmaples/BLOG's which explain how to do this(basically read the contents of XML file in the Java program).
    Thank You,
    Padma

    Ike,
    Do you have a sample. I am searched so much in this forum for samples. I looked on SAX Parser. I did not find any samples.
    Please help me.
    Thank you for your posting.
    Padma.

  • 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?

    Hello
    I wish to read from a text file in a for loop and that on every iteration i read one charachter and proceed to the next one.

    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.

    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.

  • How can I get the context-parm from a web.xml file using struts?

    Hello:
    I need get the context-param from the web.xml file of my web project using struts. I want configurate the jdbc datasource connection pooling here. For example:
    <context-param>
    <param-name>datasource</param-name>
    <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    <description>Jdbc datasource</description>
    </context-param>
    and then from any Action class get this parameter.
    Similar using a simple server can be:
    /** Initiates new XServlet */
    public void init(ServletConfig config) throws ServletException {
              for (Enumeration e = config.getInitParameterNames(); e.hasMoreElements();) {
                   System.out.println(e.nextElement());
              super.init(config);
              String str = config.getInitParameter("datasource");
              System.out.println(str);
         public void doPost(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res)
              throws ServletException, IOException {
              // res.setContentType( );
              System.out.println("Got post request in XServlet");
              PrintWriter out = res.getWriter();
              out.println("nada");
              out.flush();
              out.close();
    but only this works for init-params, if I use
    <servlet>
         <servlet-name>MyServlet</servlet-name>
         <display-name>MyServlet</display-name>
         <servlet-class>myExamples.servlet.MyServlet</servlet-class>
         <init-param>
         <param-name>datasource</param-name>
         <param-value>jdbc/formacion</param-value>
    </init-param>
    </servlet>
    inside my web.xml. I need something similar, but using struts inside the action class for that I can get the context-params and call my database.
    Thank you

    To get context parameters from your web.xml file you can simply get the ActionServlet object from an implementing action object class. In the perform (or execute) method make the following call.
    ServletContext context = getServlet().getServletContext();
    String tempContextVar =
    context.getInitParameter("<your context param >");

    Hi Philip
    Thanks for replying me.
    I tried on that way, In my mdx query i am using one slice attribute (i.e [Customer].[Gender].allmembers) in rows so getting error "The  Hierarchy already appears in Axis1".
    SELECT
    {[Measures].[Internet Sales Amount] } ON 0,
    NON EMPTY
    {[Customer].[Gender].allmembers } ON 1 -- Used
    FROM
    [Adventure Works]
    WHERE
    [Customer].[Gender].&[M]
    ,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
    ,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
    [Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
    ,[Product].[Size Range].&[XL]
    ,[Customer].[Country].[All Customers]
    [Customer].[Gender].[All Customers]
    ,[Product].[Size Range].[(All)]
    ,[Customer].[Country].&[Australia]
    Can you provide alternate ways to get resolved.
    Thanks in advance

  • Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?

    That's the question - Can I restore MY RATINGS from the library.xml file alone?
    Some facts to consider before replying:
    1. I do not have the ITL file, so that solution is out.
    2. My ipod was restored so NO ratings there either.
    3. So far I have only seen programs to use BEFORE losing your itunes library. IF YOU KNOW a third party's program can help me AFTER THE FACT then tell me about it.
    4. I HAVE searched these forums for previous threads. (a) searching engine needs big help and (b) among the 2 dozen finds, no solution for "only XML" found. If you got THAT threads url, post it!
    So, using an old library.xml file, is there a way to get this info into itunes.
    thanks

    there is mention of a hta
    script, SaveRatings.hta , that saves and restores
    the xml data.
    The save button worked just fine. ..........
    Turns out the restore button works just fine too when I dont toss in my homemade ratings.xml before clicking restore;-)
    more explained at http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=587586&tstart=0
    anyway Otto's saveratings is a excellent tool to have on your drive. Unless you like re-rating 1400 or 1500 rated songs...........

  • BULK INSERT from a text (.csv) file - read only specific columns.

    I am using Microsoft SQL 2005, I need to do a BULK INSERT from a .csv I just downloaded from paypal.  I can't edit some of the columns that are given in the report.  I am trying to load specific columns from the file.
    bulk insert Orders
    FROM 'C:\Users\*******\Desktop\DownloadURL123.csv'
       WITH
                  FIELDTERMINATOR = ',',
                    FIRSTROW = 2,
                    ROWTERMINATOR = '\n'
    So where would I state what column names (from row #1 on the .csv file) would be used into what specific column in the table.
    I saw this on one of the sites which seemed to guide me towards the answer, but I failed.. here you go, it might help you:
    FORMATFILE [ = 'format_file_path' ]
    Specifies the full path of a format file. A format file describes the data file that contains stored responses created using the bcp utility on the same table or view. The format file should be used in cases in which:
    The data file contains greater or fewer columns than the table or view.
    The columns are in a different order.
    The column delimiters vary.
    There are other changes in the data format. Format files are usually created by using the bcp utility and modified with a text editor as needed. For more information, see bcp Utility.

    Date, Time, Time Zone, Name, Type, Status, Currency, Gross, Fee, Net, From Email Address, To Email Address, Transaction ID, Item Title, Item ID, Buyer ID, Item URL, Closing Date, Reference Txn ID, Receipt ID,
    "04/22/07", "12:00:21", "PDT", "Test", "Payment Received", "Cleared", "USD", "321", "2.32", "3213', "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "", "testing", "392302", "jdal32", "http://ddd.com", "04/22/03", "", "",
    "04/22/07", "12:00:21", "PDT", "Test", "Payment Received", "Cleared", "USD", "321", "2.32", "3213', "[email protected]", "[email protected]", "", "testing", "392932930302", "jejsl32", "http://ddd.com", "04/22/03", "", "",
    Do you need more than 2 rows? I did not include all the columns from the actual csv file but most of it, I am planning on taking to the first table these specfic columns: date, to email address, transaction ID, item title, item ID, buyer ID, item URL.
    The other table, I don't have any values from here because I did not list them, but if you do this for me I could probably figure the other table out.
    Thank you very much.

  • Reading from a text file and displaying the contents with in a frame

    Hi All,
    I am trying to read some data from a text file and display it on a AWT Frame. The contents of the text file are as follows:
    pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1,
    pcode2,pname2,price2,sname1,
    I am writing a method to read the contents from a text file and store them into a string by using FileInputStream and InputStreamReader.
    Now I am dividing the string(which has the contents of the text file) into tokens using the StringTokenizer class. The method is as show below
    void ReadTextFile()
                        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                         InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                         char[] buf=new char[1024];
                         isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                         fstr=new String(buf);
                         String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                          pcode1=st.nextToken();
                               pname1=st.nextToken();
              price1=st.nextToken();
                              sname1=st.nextToken();
         } //close of while loop
                    } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
    MyClassName.pcode1;
    MyClassName.pname1;
    MyClassName.price1;
    MyClassName.sname1
