Splitting file into equal sized subfiles

Question

My code is supposed to read in a file, and split it into 5 equal sized files. However, at the moment it is only splitting it by paragraphs, skipping a newline character, for example in the text below, the line after "...liked...mainly because it doesn't feel like a studio horror film.":
"But it's a leaner, meaner animal than Wes Craven's original film. The characters are more believable, the mutants are scarier, and the whole thing is incredibly visceral! This is the first studio horror film in years that I've liked...mainly because it doesn't feel like a studio horror film.
Funny side note: A girl next to me in the theater was silently weeping through the last half of the movie. Guess it made an impression."
Here is my code:
import java.io.*;
import cs1ll4.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileSplitter
public static void main (String [] args)
try
File file = new File(Input.readString("Input Filename:"));
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(file);
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
final int numOutputFiles = 5;
//final int numOutputFiles = Input.readInt("How many files?:");
int loopCounter=0;
Object currentOutputFile = null;
String s = in.readLine();
PrintWriter out0 = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:")));
PrintWriter out1 = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:")));
PrintWriter out2 = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:")));
PrintWriter out3 = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:")));
PrintWriter out4 = new PrintWriter(new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:")));
PrintWriter [] fileHandles = {out0, out1, out2, out3, out4};
while (s != null)
loopCounter++;
if (loopCounter == numOutputFiles)
loopCounter=1;
fileHandles[loopCounter-1].println(s);
s = in.readLine(); //code
out0.close();
out1.close();
out2.close();
out3.close();
out4.close();
catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
}I would also like to specify the number of files which I want to split a file into, without being limited to five files...after I solve my bigger problem above, if you have any suggestions...Thanks

Answer 1

I have got new code which reads in a file character by character, and in it I calculate the size which I want each separate file to be. But I still dont know how to get it to print each chunk of the input file to 5 equally sized output files. (Or how to get it to print to any number of equally sized output files, specified by the program user)
import java.io.*;
import cs1ll4.*;
import java.util.*;
public class FileSplitter1
public static void main (String [] args)
try
//open input stream
File inputFile = new File(Input.readString("Input Filename:"));
InputStream inStream = new FileInputStream(inputFile);
InputStreamReader inreader = new InputStreamReader(inStream, "8859_1");
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(inreader);
int numOutputFiles = 5;
//final int numOutputFiles = Input.readInt("How many files?:");
int loopCounter=0;
Object currentOutputFile = null;
//open output stream
OutputStream fout= new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:"));
OutputStream bout= new BufferedOutputStream(fout);
OutputStreamWriter out = new OutputStreamWriter(bout, "8859_1");
OutputStream fout1= new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:"));
OutputStream bout1= new BufferedOutputStream(fout1);
OutputStreamWriter out1 = new OutputStreamWriter(bout1, "8859_1");
OutputStream fout2= new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:"));
OutputStream bout2= new BufferedOutputStream(fout2);
OutputStreamWriter out2 = new OutputStreamWriter(bout2, "8859_1");
OutputStream fout3= new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:"));
OutputStream bout3= new BufferedOutputStream(fout3);
OutputStreamWriter out3 = new OutputStreamWriter(bout3, "8859_1");
OutputStream fout4= new FileOutputStream(Input.readString("Output Filename:"));
OutputStream bout4= new BufferedOutputStream(fout4);
OutputStreamWriter out4 = new OutputStreamWriter(bout4, "8859_1");
OutputStreamWriter [] fileHandles = {out, out1, out2, out3, out4};
int fileLength = (int)inputFile.length();
int newFileSize = fileLength/numOutputFiles;
byte [] byteArray = new byte [fileLength];
System.out.println(newFileSize);
//read data in and display them
inStream.read (byteArray);
//initialise the array of bytes
for (int a = 0; a < fileLength; a++)
        char c = ((char)byteArray[a]);
      //loopCounter++;
     //if (loopCounter == numOutputFiles)
     //loopCounter=1;
     //fileHandles[loopCounter-1].write(c);
out.close();
out1.close();
out2.close();
out3.close();
out4.close();
catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); }
