Reading sections of files

i have made a file that holds various information in it that is structured something like this:
label
block
label
block
What i am wanting to do is read a random block from the file. These blocks consist of just numbers. So far i am using Random to output a number between 0 and how many blocks there are total. I'm reading in the entire file and placing it in a string, then tokenizing using the labels.
Anyone recommend a better way? I can place my code if need be.

I used to feel I should put everything into one file to save space.
You can waste a good portion of space by creating lots of a little files.
Except disks are cheap these days so.
Say you create 8,000 files are waste 4K each by doing so.
Thats 32 MB in total wasted. Sounds like alot.
Except a 200 GB drive costs �58 which is about 34 MB per penny.
So 8000 files could waste a whole penny.
80 K files could waste 10 pence.
800 K files could waste �1.
8 M files could waste �10.
And 80 M files is starting to be a worry.

Current this is my structure please give an idea how to read the mulitple sites as one record, probably i can increase the supplier site columns at table level so as to capture second site level information.
    But if in case if i receive that time it should not fail please provide some good solution for this issue.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi odie,
    Thanks for your response. But here my supplier site will always be maxiumum 2 times and minimum 1 time. My thinking is to fit this one in the existing code by repeating the supplier site only like this

    I mean only the first in the xml tags and leave the second xml. As there is not much significant for the second one.
    I appreciate your ideas on this, as the structure we are following is to rigid so I don't have much options to explore, please provide me your inputs in this context.

  • Application to read 2 log files from internet

    Hi,
    Anybody could tell me how to develop this project. I'm lack of time. thanks
    You have been asked into a company called Broken Arrow Software as a Senior Software Engineer and Management consultant. You are being paid very handsomely and have been asked to write an application program in Java for parsing a log file.
    � The program will have a standard menu using the AWT only.
    � ALL LAYOUTS MUST USE ONLY THE BORDER-LAYOUT OR GRID-LAYOUT OR A COMBINATION OF BOTH (Any other layouts score zero).
    This application reads two Log files from the internet. The first file contains USA state names and the abbreviation used for that state. This information will be used in displaying totals from another network file and should be stored in an array (or two arrays, or a two dimensional array) in the program. The second file should extract the �Reversed subdomain� section from a Log file (a section is shown later) and store this in an array in the application. This should be processed and only those domains beginning with �us.� should be processed. Each �us.� Has an abbreviated USA state after it (�tx� is an abbreviation for Texas). The abbreviations are sorted and all states are on consecutive lines and each displays a number of accesses for that state. The accesses should be totalled and displayed in the current Frame for each state in the form of Java List components (these do not need to be synchronised so that they all scroll in unison).
    The application will be a Java application with the following menus and MenuItems:
    � Splash screen (10%)
    � Application (20%)
    o Open USA abbreviation file
    o Clear screen
    o Exit
    � File (25%)
    o Open network log file
    o Open locally saved report file
    o Recent report files
    o Save as report file
    � Graph (20%)
    o Plot
    � Help (15%)
    o Help on Application
    o About
    A basic pass for the application will be for a basic implementation of an application with �help� options and some basic implementations of a Splash screen and some basic file and application options. Very high marks will be awarded for processing network files, saving and opening files, very good HCI, application design and error handling, excellent OO design for classes, gorgeous layout and commenting of code and excellent graphing capabilities.
    Error handling dialogs and overall application design (10%)
    Every class must be in a separate file.
    Inheritance should be used for WindowListeners of Frames and Dialogs.
    Up to 10% can also be lost by unprofessional code layout and lack of professional standards. Always adhere to standards taught throughout the module and your time at the University of Northumbria.
    Examples of non-professionalism would include bad indentation, no comments, meaningless variable names, politically incorrect graphics, commented out code, empty .java files, .java files which are not part of the project etc. Remember your application is your livelihood and your company depends on your application standards.
    The splash screen must be a Frame with a Canvas as part of it showing your own logo. Your logo should be individual to you but does not need to win the computing equivalent of the Turner prize. The application should be displayed behind the Splash screen and both should be visible. The application must not be able to be brought to the front and used without the Splash screen being disposed of.
    The application should only enable the �Open USA abbreviation file�, �Open locally saved report file�, �Help� options and �Exit� Menus and MenuItems, when the application starts. On opening a valid USA abbreviation file, then the other Menus and MenuItems should be enabled.
    The abbreviations should be read into an array. These should be used in displaying the totals for the reversed subdomain totals for each USA state. A total for all USA states should be displayed at the bottom of the current Frame, with a suitable Label (this design is your own). This current Frame should display a series of Lists starting with a List of USA state number (1 to n). A List of USA state abbreviation should be next followed by a List of the actual USA state name, followed by a List of the total accesses for that state.
    The report file should be an ASCII file that can be printed out from an ASCII text editor such as DOS edit or Microsoft NotePad.
    The �Open� network files should display a Dialog asking for the http:// address of the file, with �OK� and �Cancel� options. It is helpful if the user can hit �return� instead of clicking on �OK� and �Escape� instead of �cancel�. Error Dialogs should be used to indicate any errors that may occur and the state of the application should be reset to that of before displaying the Dialog.
    When �Save as report file� is chosen a FileDialog box should be used for the user to choose both directory and filename. The file should be able to be saved as a �.rpt� file.
    Open report file should display the report in a Frame; the design of which is your own.
    Plotting the graph should pass a two dimensional array to a Frame with a Canvas. The Canvas should have a Paint method that draws the axis for the graph and any suitable Headings etc. The graph should draw a histogram of totals per USA states. The graph design is your own but you may wish to use Microsoft Excel as a good example of drawing a histogram.
    The �Clear screen� option should clear any data off the current screen.
    The �Exit� option should quit the application but it may be helpful to ask the user if they really want to exit the application.
    Help must be Java code and not linking into HTML. It should display help in a well designed screen. The most basic implementation might use a scrollable TextArea for a basic mark.
    See other software for a good �About� screen. The most basic should display your name, date, version and company.
    � Help should display your help on using the application. As a senior software engineer, the design is your own, based on experience of using applications, as is the opening splash screen. You may use other applications for inspiration only, as these will make up your experience.
    � Your good knowledge gained from HCI units studied should prove invaluable in the interface design and the usability of the application.
    � The design (Screens and classes) and quality and documentation of code throughout the application will be marked. The experience gained from programming 1 and 2 and Object Oriented Programming should prove invaluable throughout the application, as should any GUI units studied.
    The log file can be accessed at:
    http://computing.unn.ac.uk/staff/cgpb2/public_html/log.html

    You would really gain ever so much more from this exercise if you would write a couple of classes, then come back with some specific questions. If you're completely lost, try starting with the GUI first. It's not the best practice, always, but it is easy to visualize.
    On a side note, I wish I'd had assignments even half this intersting when I was in my Java classes...

  • How to know they is space or carrier return when java read a text file.

    Hi,
    Please help.
    How to know they is space or carrier return when java read a text file.
    The reason is that. I want to use java for loop to read each part of value. for example: first part is the items name. After the space (I need to tell java when this is a space here and its need to skip) , following by the items prices in double value and space again (need to skip also) and etc.
    item name1
    item name2
    item name3
    item name4
    item name5
    <--- here is the space to skip and another loop to read following items prices
    item price1
    item price2
    item price3
    item price4
    item price5
    <--- here is another spcae again. and so on
    thank in advance!

    You can check to see if the sting you read in is just nothing, depending on how you're reading it in:
    if((str = inStream.readLine().trim().equals("")))
    // skip and get ready for the next section
    else
    // handle the next item
    The trim() method gets rid of all leading and trailing spaces and I'm assuming you're using a stream that can use the readLine() method that returns a String.
    I hope this is clear. Let me know if it isn't, I'll try and word it different, or post how you're reading the values in if you need more help.

  • Read/Write Jar files?

    This is really a newbie question, but since there's a forum specifically for jar questions I figured it was better to start here and move it to the newbie section if y'all deem it appropriate.
    I have written a desktop application using Java 1.4.1 class libraries and intend the application to run on multiple platforms including Mac OS X, Windows XP and Linux. The application works standalone (not yet jarred) on the machine it was developed on, but now it's time to begin figuring out the distribution method.
    Right now, the application reads several files from a flat text-file database, allows the user to peruse and display the information in a variety of ways, and gives the user a method to add to the flat-file database as needed. The file is about a megabyte and is excerpted into memory at initialization, then not referred to again unless the user writes additional data. When the user generates new data, write traffic to the file is fairly light, maybe 2-3kbytes per session.
    I searched the forums for the best way to handle read/write data files for distribution and so far I haven't found anything that seems relevant, but surely the question must have been asked and answered before - maybe I'm using the wrong keywords?
    Anyway, I have three basic questions:
    1) Can I both read and write a file that's enclosed in a jar file? Or are files read-only once "jarred"?
    2) Assuming I can both read and write a file within my jar file, is reading and rewriting within the jar so inefficient as to make that a non-preferred approach?
    3) How do other folks who have a local read/write datafile in a desktop application deal with distribution? Keep the read/write datafile within the jar? Make a copy of it outside the first time the application is run and always read/write the copy outside the jar? Or some other strategy?
    Thanks for any suggestions you can give a newbie at the Java game.
    Jon

    Thanks, that was pretty much what I suspected.
    I have several data files and configuration files for this project, so I was trying to make the distribution as clean as possible. At least some of the config information can be hidden in Preferences, but I was struggling with the data files. I'll include the data files in my jar, then unpack them to the user's directory when launched the first time and work with them thereafter in the user's directory.
    Enjoy the Dukes!

  • Reading from a file

    Hi Friends,
    I m new to java
    In my java code i ll write a program for creating a virtual server. My java code ll also have "write to file method" where i ll write the outputs to the mentioned filename with proper path. But now i am in need of using a "reading from a file" for the output file name. File from where we are reading should be a kind of configration file from where we need to select the output file name where we need to store the results.
    here is the sample code....
    try {
    java.io.BufferedWriter out = new java.io.BufferedWriter(new java.io.FileWriter("C:\\Documents and Settings\\admin\\Desktop\\RFTResults\\RFTOutputNegative1.txt"));
    out.write("\r\n Virtual server RFT exists");
    out.close();
    } catch (java.io.IOException e) {}

    Your question is not that much clear, my understanding from your question is that
    You are trying to read the file name from the file(file name with exact location), and again reading the content from that specified file.
    The code is below, this may help you,
    import java.io.*;
    public class readf {
         String fName = null;     
         String line = null;
         String section = null;
         BufferedReader br = null;
         static String fileUrlStr = null;
         public readf() {
         public readf(String fName) {
              fName = fName;
         public String getFName(String fName) {
              try {
                   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fName));
                   line = br.readLine();
              } catch(Exception e) {
                   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
              return line;
         public String getFContent(String fName) {
              try {
                   br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fName));
                   while ((line=br.readLine())!=null) {
                        System.out.println(line);
              } catch(Exception e) {
                   System.out.println(e.getMessage());
              return line;
         public static void main(String args[]) {
              readf rf = new readf();
              fileUrlStr = rf.getFName("C:\\java\\system.ini");
              System.out.println(fileUrlStr);
              rf.getFContent(fileUrlStr);          
    //Note:
    //0) I have placed all the files under c:\java directory
    //1) File content of system.ini is "C:\\java\\mytarget.txt"
    //2) File content of mytarget.txt is
    //          This is first line
    //          This is second line
    //          This is third line

  • Problems reading from a file

    Hey,
    I have this file that I need to read so i can handle the contents. It was created in MSDOS and as I have very little experience in that topic, I wondered if anyone can point me in the right direction. I tried reading it as a ascii and binary file but neither work, I'm really just guessing though.
    The file has no extension. Hence I can't upload it to the forum. Its made up of mostly meaningless strings of characters.
    Any help is appreciated,
    Regards,
    Rkll

    Rkll wrote:
    Ya you're exactly right, its parsing the data that is the problem. I have done what you said and attached it as a .txt file. My inital thought was that it was a collection of binary digits but I was unable to read them with the built in Labview read binary file VI. Although maybe I had a setting wrong or something.
    This has nothing to do with the Read From Binary File VI, or any setting. That functions does not magically know the format of a file, just like any binary file read for any other programming language. Thus, you have to tell it how to interpret the data. You can tell it to read the file as a series of bytes, and it will dutifully return to you an array of U8 integers. Or, you tell it to read it as a series of 16-bit integers and it will dutifully return to you an array of I16. It will give you what you tell it to give you. 
    Looking at the file I can see some header information, though it's not clear what all the spaces are being used for. I can't tell whether they're padding for a section, or what. As I noted, do you have any idea as to the format of the file?  You said you're updating an old computer system. Any documentation?

  • How to read a property file..urgent

    Hi ,
    This is kinda urgent if you can help! I am a new bee to servlet and java.
    My JSP calls a java class file. In the class file i establish my connection to database.
    My requirement is to read a property file for the database name, username and password and connet to the database using JDBC(database is oracle).
    which class to use. I know something about properties class. Is there any other class which can read my property file.
    Or is there any other all together a better way to do it.
    thanks in advance
    Amit

    Inside your WAR file somewhere under the WEB-INF directory. This space is protected, whereas the ROOT (of course) is not. Unless you would like someone else to read your properties file...
    Once you decide where you want it, post the section of code where you load the properties file, we can probably help you figure out where you path is wrong.

  • How to read an html file and replace a text using text_io

    hi,
    i want ro read an html file using text_io and replace a particular text with a new text
    eg: i want to replace a text called "data.js" and with "maps.js"
    how do i do this?

    You have to write your own code to do that. TEXT_IO is just a low level text file interface.
    You need to read in all the text, save it in some internal format (array of varchar2's maybe or in the DB) and then perform a search on the text you have read in, find out where the instances of "data.js" are located and substitute them with "maps.js" After that you need to write to a new file and delete the old one. There is no way to search and replace inside the existing file (what's sometimes referred to as 'in-place' substitution).
    See the help section called About the TEXT_IO package for an overview of how it works and some code examples.

  • Feature Request: save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.

    Please have function to save metadata to file, and read metadata from file.
    This would allow us to write cross-platform plugins that can assure data is up-to-date in the xmp, or modify xmp and have it reinstated in the catalog.
    This would go nicely with the ability to save xmp for virtual copies, dng, and rgb formats.

    Perhaps someone with direct experience with publishing to Smugmug will chime in.  Short of that, some thoughts on your issues:
    Should I not bother to "Save Metadata to File", this seems to be what is messing up the SmugMug publish service?
    I very much doubt that it is messing up the publishing.  What gets saved to the file from the catalog is independent of what gets exported.  Saving metadata to the file is generally a good practice (in case you screw up your catalog backups).  Many, perhaps most, users set the preference Catalog Settings > Automatically Write Changes Into XMP.
    I would have expected it to behave like an export which would write synonyms, exclude keywords that should be excluded, etc, which seems to work ok in point 6 above.
    Yes, that's a reasonable expectation.
    You may have done this already, but double-check: Right-click the Smugmug publishing service in the left-hand column of the Library, select Edit Settings, and in the Metadata section verify that you have Include: All Metadata set.
    Did you download the Smugmug plugin from Smugmug? You might try this Smugmug plugin instead -- the author designed the publishing architecture of LR and has an excellent reputation. 
    Are the publish services more effort than they are worth? So I get SmugMug to work, what happens when I try Flickr?
    I think many users find the publishing services are generally worthwhile.  I publish regularly to Flickr (using the built-in Flickr plugin, which isn't completely reliable) and the Zenfolio plugin from Friedl. 

  • With one of the last updating in Adobe Reader,in the "recently read" section,it's no more possible delete the last pdfs read

    With one of the last updating in Adobe Reader,in the "recently read" section,it's no more possible delete the last pdfs read. Can that be changed? Before in fact there was a specified button for that!

    Hi,
    The 'Clear Recents' button which was provided in previous releases only *cleared* the Recent list and did not delete the files. The files stayed in your document hierarchy. This button has been removed in the latest release. For deleting the files, you can go to the Documents/Acrobat.com tab and delete the files individually. However, please note that the files will be permanently deleted from your device. Please let us know if this is not a viable option for you. We would like to hear more about your use case for which you would require to just remove the entry from Recents and not delete the file. You could share the feedbacks here.
    Thanks,

  • Trying to write an applet that reads/displays a file from a remote server

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to make a little applet that launches from a browser that allows me to read a file from a server, reads it line by line and displays each line, and continues to read/monitor the file until I get a specific line of text.
    I've tried to do some code and although I can read the file (and display it), I can't seem to detect the end string (the if statement that tests if the line == "--END--" seems to have no effect, i.e. constant false).
    I have a feeling the approach I took is wrong since this seems insecure and just looks bad (I've seen stuff that seems to indicate I need to do something with implements Runnable or something.) Even if anyone doesn't have the time to actually do the framework of this, if they could perhaps outline an approach and any necessary topics I need to look at (such as
    1. Go and read the threads tutorial.
    2. Go and read the X section in the Y tutorial.
    3. Check out this <link>, as they seem to be doing something similar to what you're doing.

    }

    use tmp.equals("--END--\n") instead of tmp == "--END--\n"
    The == means does tmp reference the same object as "--END--\n" which will probably never be true. Using the equals method means does tmp contains the same characters as "--END--\n"

  • Why is Explorer.exe reading my program files at startup?

    Every time I boot my computer, if I open Resource Monitor, I will inevitably find, under the "Disk Activity" section, the process explorer.exe "reading" my program files.
    When I say "program files", I mean the executable files for applications stored in the "C:\Program Files (x86)" or the "C:\Program Files" directories.
    Other files seem to get "read" a lot too. PNF files for example.
    I have indexing turned OFF on all drives, and yet the process SearchIndexer.exe is almost always running too.

    Hi,
    Firstly, did you installed MSE in your system, this phenomenon can be caused by MSE security scanning disk.
    Secondly, this problem can also be caused by 3rd program, it would be better to use AutoRuns to check system startup items if there is any 3rd process or dll file start with system.
