Search in txt file using PL/SQL

Is there any way to search for a string in a text file using a PL/SQL block??
Thnks in advance.
Ashish

Richard:
It would depend on the nature of the text file, but it could be done for most plain text files. If there is some consistent delimiter, that is, the text file is fielded in some way, you could define an external table with the appropriate structure then use normal SQL queries against the particular fields from the file.
If the file is just plain text with no fields, you could create an external table something like:
CREATE TABLE myexternal (
line VARCHAR2(4000),
ORGANIZATION EXTERNAL
(TYPE oracle_loader
DEFAULT DIRECTORY mydirectory
ACCESS PARAMETERS
(RECORDS DELIMITED BY newline
BADFILE 'textfile.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'textfile.dis'
LOGFILE 'textfile.log'
(line CHAR(4000) NULLIF line = blanks))
LOCATION ('textfile.txt'))
REJECT LIMIT UNLIMITEDThen use normal sql to search the contents of that file.
I have not done any benchmarks on this, but my gut feel is that it would be significantly faster than using utl_file to loop over the lines looking for specific content.
In one of our warehouse load programs, we process a text file that is typically about 7Mb in under 30 seconds.

Thats just 2 lines!
what the program will do is take in a name (from a gui) of an actor/actress and find the smallest connection to a famous actor.
So first things first, my idea of thinking is to search the file for K.E.V.I.N. B.A.C.O.N and all his films, and safe them into an array. Then do another search for films from the actor that the user entered at the gui. then find the shortest possible connection to both stars.
my code for the search part of the program
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class FileSearch {
     File aFile = new File("cast.06.txt");
     FileInputStream inFile = null;
     String actor = "surname, forename"; // the person who will be the centre point e.g. kevin.bacon.
       //get the result of the actor from the gui will go here.
     public void openFilm()
          try
              inFile = new FileInputStream(aFile);
          catch(FileNotFoundException e)
               System.out.println("Error");
}The problem I have is that I can't work out how to search the txt file for a specific string/s and save them into an array. (I'm not sure if this is the best way to go about it or not at this stage).
So whats the best way to search for an actor from that file and save the film title and the year of release?
Hope this makes sense? what I hope the final program will be like is like this http://oracleofbacon.org/

I went away and looked at regular expressions and this is what I came up with
public class NameSearch{
     public static void main(String[] args)
          NameSearch ns = new NameSearch();
          ns.runIt();
     public void runIt()
          java.util.Scanner fileScan = null;
          try{
               fileScan = new java.util.Scanner(new java.io.File("imdb.txt"));
          }catch(java.io.FileNotFoundException e)
               e.printStackTrace();
               System.exit(0);
          String token = null;
          String actor = "Surname, Forename";
//real name will go in actor, left it like that for example
          while(fileScan.hasNext()){
               token = fileScan.next();
               Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(actor);
               Matcher m = pattern.matcher(token);
               while(m.find())
                    System.out.println(m.start() + m.end());
}This by any means not finished, I'm just trying to get to grips with regualr expressions. But when I run the program it doesn't return anything, from what I've tried to work out is it should return actor x amount of times they appear in the file. But when I run it nothing comes back (the actors name is in the text file) so I'm not too sure what I'm doing wrong, any suggestion please

A better way to search a string in a 3GB txt file

I am looking for a string(12 characters) in a 3GB txt file. I use the file reader to go though each line and use the startwith() (that 12 characters are from the beginning of each line) to check if that line contain the string I am searching for. Is there a faster way to do it? Thank's.

I would avoid using java to parse/search a 3 GB text file at all costs. Any java solution is going to have terrible performance and you may run into memory problems. I would recomend that you either a) develop a native method for resolving this search and just invoke it from your current java class or b) use Runtime.exec to invoke a native OS command for searching the file (like grep or find) and parse the results. ....
I'm not even sure how I would complete that task with java exclusivly ... maybe break the file into smaller parts, then iterate through each smaller, temporary file ... I would really recomend storing your data in a different format if possible. A 3 GB text file just isn't very partical or secure.
... oh, to answer your original question (which I'm not sure if I all ready did), the fatest way to load the file is to wrap it into some BufferedReader. The fatest way to perform String searches is through the java.util.regex package if you have access to the 1.4 API. Other wise, just use basic String searches, as you all ready are.

Script to search all files in specified folder for multiple string text values listed in a source file and output each match to one single results txt file

I have been searching high and low for this one. I have a vbscript that can successfully perform the function if one file is listed. It does a Wscript.echo on the results and if I run this via command using cscript, I can output to a text file
that way. However, I cannot seem to get it to work properly if I want it to search ALL the files in the folder. At one point, I was able to have it create the output file and appear as if it worked, but it never showed any results when the script
was executed and folder was scanned. So I am going back to the drawing board and starting from the beginning.
I also have a txt file that contains the list of string text entries I would like it to search for. Just for testing, I placed 4 lines of sample text and one single matching text in various target files and nothing comes back. The current script
I use for each file has been executed with a few hundred string text lines I want it to search against to well over one thousand. It might take awhile, but it works every time. The purpose is to let this run against various log files in a folder and
let it search. There is no deleting, moving, changing of either the target folder/files to run against, nor of the file that contains the strings to search for. It is a search (read) only function, going thru the entire contents of the folder and
when done, performs the loop function and onto the next file to repeat the process until all files are searched. When completed, instead of running a cscript to execute the script and outputting the results to text, I am trying to create that as part
of the overall script. Saving yet another step for me to do.
My current script is set to append to the same results file and will echo [name of file I am searching]: No errors found. Otherwise, the
output shows the filename and the string text that matched. Because the results append to it, I can only run the script against each file separately or create individual output names. I would rather not do that if I could include it all in one.
This would also free me from babysitting it and running each file script separately upon the other's completion. I can continue with my job and come back later and view the completed report all in one. So
if I could perform this on an entire folder, then I would want the entries to include the filename, the line number that the match occurred on in that file and the string text that was matched (each occurrence). I don't want the entire line to be listed
where the error was, just the match itself.
Example: (In the event this doesn't display correctly below, each match, it's corresponding filename and line number all go together on the same line. It somehow posted the example jumbled when I listed it)
File1.txt Line 54
Job terminated unexpectedly
File1.txt Line 58 Process not completed
File1.txt
Line 101 User input not provided
File1.txt
Line 105 Process not completed
File2.txt
No errors found
File3.txt
Line 35 No tape media found
File3.txt
Line 156 Bad surface media
File3.txt Line 188
Process terminated
Those are just random fake examples for this post.
This allows me to perform analysis on a set of files for various projects I am doing. Later on, when the entire search is completed, I can go back to the results file and look and see what files had items I wish to follow up on. Therefore, the
line number that each match was found on will allow me to see the big picture of what was going on when the entry was logged.
I actually import the results file into a spreadsheet, where further information is stored regarding each individual text string I am using. Very useful.
If you know how I can successfully achieve this in one script, please share. I have seen plenty of posts out there where people have requested all different aspects of it, but I have yet to see it all put together in one and work successfully.
Thanks for helping.

I'm sorry. I was so consumed in locating the issue that I completely overlooked posting what exactly I was needing help with. I did have one created, but I came across one that seemed more organized than what I originally created. Later
on I would learn that I had an error in log location on my original script and therefore thought it wasn't working properly. Now that I am thinking that I am pretty close to achieving what I want with this one, I am just going to stick with it.
However, I could still use help on it. I am not sure what I did not set correctly or perhaps overlooking as a typing error that my very last line of this throws an "Expected Statement" error. If I end with End, then it still gives same
results.
So to give credit where I located this:
http://vbscriptwmi.uw.hu/ch12lev1sec7.html
I then adjusted it for what I was doing.
What this does does is it searches thru log files in a directory you specify when prompted. It looks for words that are contained in another file; objFile2, and outputs the results of all matching words in each of those log files to another file: errors.log
Once all files are scanned to the end, the objects are closed and then a message is echoed letting you know (whether there errors found or not), so you know the script has been completed.
What I had hoped to achieve was an output to the errors.log (when matches were found) the file name, the line number that match was located on in that file and what was the actual string text (not the whole line) that matched. That way, I can go directly
to each instance for particular events if further analysis is needed later on.
So I could use help on what statement should I be closing this with. What event, events or error did I overlook that I keep getting prompted for that. Any help would be appreciated.

The top portion can search for the location of a string, while the bottom portion is to locate the position of a character. Both can search for a character.
The position of the character within the file is displayed in the indicator(s).

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??

How do i search for a string in a txt file using java??
could you please help thanks
J

Regular expressinos work just fine, especially when
searching for patterns. But they seem to be impying
it's a specific group of characters they're looking
for, and indexOf() is much faster than a regex.If he's reading from a file, the I/O time will likely swamp any performance hit that regex introduces. I think contains() (or indexOf() if he's not on 5.0 yet) is preferable to regex just because it's simpler. (And in the case of contains(), the name makes for a very clear, direct mapping between your intent and the code that realizes it.)

Search For Specific File Type (eg .txt)

I know how how to find files in a folder using Java but how do you search for specific file types. I am looking only include files with the extension .txt in my search.

Cheers. I already looked at that. Got a program that parses a XML and had a play about with it. Can print the contents of tags in my XML. Its just that im trying to parse my XML and have the contents of the starts_with tag to appear in startsWith(or a variable to which this has been assigned) and the contents of the extension tag to appear in endsWith. Totally clueless on how to go about it.
Below is my class. Would be greatful if you have any ideas.
import java.io.File;
public class FindLatestFile {
 public static File getLatest(File thisDir){
 long latestModDate = -1;
 File latestFile = null;
 File[] fileList = thisDir.listFiles();
 for(int i=0; i < fileList.length; i++){
 File file = fileList;
 if (file.lastModified() > latestModDate & (file.getName().startsWith("A") & file.getName().endsWith(".txt"))) {
 latestModDate = file.lastModified();
 latestFile = file;
 return latestFile;

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.

If you've opened notepad, you won't be able to save the file ON the server, so your question doesn't make sense. Please search, read a book, SAP documentation etc. before posting further basic questions.

Urgent + Search a delimited file for more then one string

Hi All
Urgent please help I am trying to search a file for 2 different strings.
This is how the command prompt will look like
java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txtPlease help me with identifying how many search criterias have been entered on command prompt.
"-t|" - denotes a delimiter
-4 - denotes the field number
-f - case sensitive
Thanks

Hi
Thanks for your quick response and I apologise I will never put urgent on my posting again.
C:\>java match "-t|" -4 -f Harvey -10 -f Atlanta callbook.txt
This example lists records for Atlanta with first name Harvey.
I am able to get one search criteria but when I have 2 as above (Harvey and Atlanta) I get lost I do not know how to get these arguments from the commandline and still do a search correctly. My code at the moment is doint a hard coded search so I was trying to extract the arguments that's where I got stuck.
The main aim of my app is to search a delimited file for a search criteria passed through a command prompt.
This is what I have done so far.

Dude, netiquette. Messages like "i need this now! Do it!" are really offensive and no one here is being payed to answer anyone's questions. We're here because we like to contribute to the community.
Anyway, in your case, just perform some search on how you could filter the files that are attached to the message. The sample module is just an example, you'll have to implement your own. Tips would be to query the filename of the attachments (or maybe content type) and for the ones which are not text, remove them.

As you can see the code specifies the header row separately and appends it in int_head.
What if I have 76 fields or more? I cant be specifying each like that.
Is there any other way to do this? To move the 76 field headers into int_head?
Pls help.
Thanks!
