[Solved] Shell script to read unhashed lines from file.

Hello.
I want to write a shell script (it can be bash,sh,ksh,csh or zsh) that will be:
1.Read unhashed lines from file named mirrors.conf.
2.Put them in ~/.profile as PKG_PATH=line catted from mirrors.conf.
Just like as mirrors.conf file for pacman.
Now it can cat lines but how to put them in files as PKG_PATH?
Thanks for answers.

Shell scripts to read data from a text file and to load it into a table

Hi All,
I have a text file consisting of rows and columns as follows,
GEF001 000093625 MKL002510 000001 000000 000000 000000 000000 000000 000001

the whole application is deployed in unix and that text file comes from mainframe. am working in the unix side of the application and i cant access the data directly from the mainframe. so am required to write a script which reads the data from text file which is placed in certain location and i have to load it to oracle database.
so I can't use SQL * loader.
Please help me something with this...
Thanks in advance.

1. Create a dictionary object in Oracle and assign it to the folder where your file resides
2. Write a little procedure which opens the file in the newly created directory object using ULT_FILE and inside the FOR LOOP and do INSERTs to table you want
3. Create a shell script and call that procedure
You can use the post in my Blog for such issues

Since the word "TEXT" is formed of 4 letters, you would read the text file 4 bytes by four bytes. Wrong on two counts. First, the file may not be encoded 1 byte per character. It could be utf-16 in which case it would be two byte per character. Second, even if it were 1 byte per character, the string "Text" may not start on a 4 byte boundary.
Consider a FileInputStream object "fis" that points to your text file. use fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) to read every four bytes. Convert the "TEXT" String into a byte array "TEXT".getBytes(), and yous the Arrays class to compare the equality of the read bytes with your "TEXT".getBytes()Wrong since it relies on my second point and will fail when fis.read(byte[] array, int offset, int len) does not read 4 bytes (as is no guaranteed to). Check the Javadoc. Also, the file may not be encoded with the default character encoding.
The problem is easily solved by reading a line at a time using a BufferedReader wrapping an InputStreamReader wrapping a FileInputStream and specifying the correct character encoding.

You seem to have ignored Dude's VERY good advice and continue to press down this ill-advised path. If you continue this approach, you WILL have problems at the very time you do not need any additional problems. Trying to recover your production database at 2:00 in the morning is not the time to be getting errors from rman because it can't find what it needs - because you decided to move them around yourself.

Reading one line from a text file into an array

i want to read one line from a text file into an array, and then the next line into a different array. both arays are type string...i have this:
public static void readAndProcessData(FileInputStream stream){
     InputStreamReader iStrReader = new InputStreamReader (stream);
     BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader (iStrReader);
     String line = "";
     try{
     int i = 0;
          while (line != null){
               names[i] = reader.readLine();
               score[i] = reader.readLine();
               line = reader.readLine();
               i++;
          }catch (IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in file access");
this section calls it:
try{
     FileInputStream stream = new FileInputStream("ISU.txt");
          HighScore.readAndProcessData(stream);
          stream.close();
          names = HighScore.getNames();
          scores = HighScore.getScores();
     }catch(IOException e){
          System.out.println("Error in accessing file." + e.toString());
it gives me an array index out of bounds error

oh wait I see it when I looked at the original quote.
They array you made called names or the other one is prob too small for the amount of names that you have in the file. Hence as I increases it eventually goes out of bounds of the array so you should probably resize the array if that happens.

Sorry I'm just beginning coding and I'm still a noob. Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Ok, so if I'm following this correctly you should be able to just loop through all of the files in that folder whose file name matches the pattern and then read the first 22 lines, recording only the first and the last.
Exactly how you store the animal data probably depends on how you are going to display it and what else you are going to do with it. Is there anything other than name and cage number that should be associated with each animal?
You might want to make a dataset with a datatable to describe the animal, or you might write a class, or you might just use something generic like a Tuple. Here's a simple class example:
Public Class Animal
Public Property Name As String
Public Property Cage As String
Public Overrides Function ToString() As String
Return String.Format("{0} - {1}", Name, Cage)
End Function
End Class
With that you can use a routine like the following to loop through all of the files and read each one:
Dim animals As New List(Of Animal)
Dim folderPath As String = "E:\Furry Friends Animal Shelter Solution\Furry Friends Animal Shelter\"
For Each filePath As String In System.IO.Directory.GetFiles(folderPath, "Report Q?.txt")
Using reader As New System.IO.StreamReader(filePath)
Dim lineIndex As Integer = 0
Dim currentAnimal As New Animal
While Not reader.EndOfStream
Dim line As String = reader.ReadLine
If lineIndex = 0 Then
currentAnimal.Name = line
ElseIf lineIndex = 22 Then
currentAnimal.Cage = line
Exit While
End If
lineIndex += 1
End While
animals.Add(currentAnimal)
End Using
Next
'do something to display the animals list
Then you might bind the animals list to a ListBox, or loop through the list and populate a ListView. If you decided to fill a datatable instead of making Animal instances, then you might bind the resulting table to a DataGridView.
There are lots of options depending on what you want and what all you need to do.

private void readObject(ObjectInputStream s) throws IOException, ClassNotFoundException {
try
s.defaultReadObject();
}catch(IOException ie){throw new IOException();}
catch(ClassNotFoundException cnt){throw new ClassNotFoundException();}
And I was wrote above Object into File by this code :+
FileOutputStream fos;

ObjectInputStream ois;
public void writeObjToFile(objStoreCus obj)
try
fos = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);

//dong stream

}catch(IOException ie){}
But i can't read above Object from file. allway have a Exception occur "StreamCorruptedException".
this is code read Object form file :
*parameter is ArrayList will be store Object from file.
public void readObjFromFile(ArrayList al)
try
fis = new FileInputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
}catch(FileNotFoundException fnfe){}
try

System.out.println(osc.customerEmail);
}catch(Exception e)
e.printStackTrace();
//System.out.println();
break;
ois.close();
fis.close();
}catch(IOException ie){}
}

Problem lies in
os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3", true);
You are trying to append to that file, You should always use new file to serialize objects.
os = new FileOutputStream("Exrcise3.ex3");
Try with above line.

EXS24 read root key from file name only

Has anyone encountered this with EXS24 in Logic 7? If you set preferences to "read root key from file name only" then EXS reads the root key from the file itself when loading samples. On the other hand if you set them to "read root key from file only" then it reads the root key from the file name. Or am I just imagining this?
P.S. if anyone from Apple is reading, could you please update EXS24? It's a bit primitive by today's standards.

How to read appended objects from file with ObjectInputStream?

Hi to everyone. I'm new to Java so my question may look really stupid to most of you but I couldn't fined a solution by myself... I wanted to make an application, something like address book that is storing information about different people. So I decided to make a class that will hold the information for each person (for example: nickname, name, e-mail, web address and so on), then using the ObjectOutputStream the information will be save to a file. If I want to add a new record for a new person I'll simply append it to the already existing file. So far so good but soon I discovered that I can not read the appended objects using ObjectInputStream.
What I mean is that if I create new file and then in one session save several objects to it using ObjectOutputStream they all will be read with no problem by ObjectInputStream. But after that if in a new session I append new objects they won't be read. The ObjectInputStream will read the objects from the first session after that IOException will be generated and the reading will stop just before the appended objects from the second session.
The following is just a simple test it's not actual code from the program I was talking about. Instead of objects containing different kind of information I'm using only strings here. To use the program use as arguments in the console "w" to create new file followed by the file name and the strings you want save to the file (as objects). Example: "+w TestFile.obj Thats Just A Test+". Then to read it use "r" (for reading), followed by the file name. Example "+r TestFile.obj+". As a result you'll see that all the strings that are saved in the file can be successfully read back. Then do the same: "+w TestFile.obj Thats Second Test+" and then read again "+r TestFile.obj+". What will happen is that the strings only from the first sessions will be read and the ones from the second session will not.
I am sorry for making this that long but I couldn't explain it more simple. If someone can give me a solution I'll be happy to hear it! ^.^ I'll also be glad if someone propose different approach of the problem! Here is the code:
import java.io.*;
class Fio
 public static void main(String[] args)
 try
 if (args[0].equals("w"))
 FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(args[1], true);
 ObjectOutputStream oos = new ObjectOutputStream(fos);
 for (int i = 2; i < args.length ; i++)
 oos.writeObject(args);
 fos.close();
 else if (args[0].equals("r"))
 FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(args[1]);
 ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(fis);
 for (int i = 0; i < fis.available(); i++)
 System.out.println((String)ois.readObject());
 fis.close();
 else
 System.out.println("Wrong args!");
 catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException exc)
 System.out.println("You must use \"w\" or \"r\" followed by the file name as args!");
 catch (IOException exc)
 System.out.println("I/O exception appeard!");
 catch (ClassNotFoundException exc)
 System.out.println("Can not find the needed class");

How to read appended objects from file with ObjectInputStream? The short answer is you can't.
The long answer is you can if you put some work into it. The general outline would be to create a file with a format that will allow the storage of multiple streams within it. If you use a RandomAccessFile, you can create a header containing the length. If you use streams, you'll have to use a block protocol. The reason for this is that I don't think ObjectInputStream is guaranteed to read the same number of bytes ObjectOutputStream writes to it (e.g., it could skip ending padding or such).
Next, you'll need to create an object that can return more InputStream objects, one per stream written to the file.
Not trivial, but that's how you'd do it.
