Hi Jim,
its simply superb...
how to get more info on these 'Regular Expressions', is there any KB (knowledge base) or tutorial available for the same.
I am not allergic to Kudos, in fact I love Kudos.

Char array conversion from String: toCharArray()

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me why this code:
import com.wuw.debug.Trace;
public
class charTest
   public static void
   main( String[] args )
       String strIn = new String( "strIn" );
       Trace.DTRACE( "strIn: "+strIn );
       Trace.DTRACE( "strOut: "+strIn.toCharArray() );
}produces this output:
[DTRACE]: strIn: strIn
[DTRACE]: strOut: [C@1fef6f
and not:
[DTRACE]: strIn: strIn
[DTRACE]: strOut: strIn

Because:
String.toCharArray returns an array of chars.
An array is basically an object in java.
Objects are converted to strings with the method toString - if it's not implemented in your class the string that method returns will be of the form classname@hashcode.
In the case of a char array, the name of the class is "[C". The hashcode of you object seems to be "1fef6f" (in hex).
You'll just have to remember that an array of chars is [i]not a string in java.

How to put a String into a byte array

How can i put a String into a byte array byte[]. So that i can send it to the serial port for output to an LCD display. Cheers David

getBytes
public byte[] getBytes()
Encodes this String into a sequence of bytes using the platform's default charset, storing the result into a new byte array.
Returns:

Creating String frm new String(charBuffer.array()) Vs charBuffer.toString()

Whats the difference in creating String from CharBuffer by using array and by using toString() ?
When ever i have some UTF-8 chars in my file (""someFile"), String created from new String( charBuffer.array()) appends some extra null/junk charaters at the very end of the file.
How ever when i try charBuffer.toString() its working fine.
For simple ASCII i.e ISO-*** charset both methods are working fine.
Please see below code for reproducing. Here "someFile" is any text file with some UTF-8 characters.
public char[] getCharArray()
throws IOException
Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("someFile");
FileChannel channel = fis.getChannel();
int size = (int) channel.size();
MappedByteBuffer mbb = channel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0 , size);
CharBuffer cb = decoder.decode(mbb);
channel.close();
fis.close();
return cb.array();
public String getAsString()
throws IOException
Charset charset = Charset.forName("UTF-8");
CharsetDecoder decoder = charset.newDecoder();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream("someFile");
FileChannel channel = fis.getChannel();
int size = (int) channel.size();
MappedByteBuffer mbb = channel.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0 , size);
CharBuffer cb = decoder.decode(mbb);
channel.close();
fis.close();
return cb.toString();
String fromToString = getAsString();
String fromCharArray = new String(getCharArray());

Whats the difference in creating String from CharBuffer by using array and by using toString() ?array() returns the entire backing array regardless of offset and position. toString() takes those into account.
When ever i have some UTF-8 chars in my file (""someFile"), String created from new String( charBuffer.array()) appends some extra null/junk charaters at the very end of the file.More probably you haven't filled the array.
How ever when i try charBuffer.toString() its working fine.So there you go.

Parsing a string to a boolean array

I got to pase a string to a boolean array, this code works for me, but I don't like it. Here Is
public static boolean[] NumeroToBoolArray( int Numero )
//Here I got the number in Binary Format, then reverse it
String temp = new StringBuffer(Integer.toBinaryString(Numero)).reverse().toString();
//Now I create a boolean array of temp.length
boolean[] data_bool = new boolean[temp.length()];
for (int pp = 0; pp < data_bool.length ; pp++)
//And now assign the value to data_bool
data_bool[pp] = String.valueOf(Character.digit(temp.charAt(pp), 10)).equalsIgnoreCase("1");
return data_bool;
Any idea or replacement for this function?
Thanks

data_bool[pp] = String.valueOf(Character.digit(temp.charAt(pp),10)).equalsIgnoreCase("1");becomes
data_bool[pp] = temp.charAt(pp) == '1';

Binary String to numerical binary array

Hello,
I initially created binary strings from numerical numbers using the
"%03b" command on the 'Format into String' block. I then concatenated
the various strings into one string that is now composed of 16bits.
However, I need to convert this string that I created back to a binary
numerical array for further processing.
Can you help me with this?
Thanks,
Rajesh.

In general, you are out of luck, because the number of characters for each value when formatted to binary with "%03b", will be variable. Any number greater than 7 will use more than 3 digits. (since you use "03" instead of 3", smaller numbers will have three digits with possible leading zeroes for padding).
After you concatenated all the formatted strings, you loose all boundary information unless ALL numbers are less than 8, but in this case they result would be a multiple of 3 and would not add up to 16 bits, right?
My best suggestion would be to NOT create a binary formatted string in this way, because it is a one-way operation and cannot be undone because you loose information in the process.
Back to square one!
Maybe we can backup a few steps and you can explain to us what you really want to do with your original numbers. Why would you even consider formatting them this way? Do you need to save them to a file for later retrieval, for example?

Use string as identifier in array?

hi, is it possible to use String as identifier in arrays instead of numbers? if so, how do you do it?

lol.. mmm.. well, i just discovered hashtables :D mmm.. i find hashname.put(object, object); to be too much.. so i wrote a adhoc method for walking through two arrays and putting them into hastables :D though, i had some errors:
public Hashtable makeHash(int cap, String allString[], int allInt[])
     Hashtable hash = new Hashtable(cap);
     int i = 0;
     while(i < allString.length && i < allInt.length)
          hash.put(allString, new Integer(allInt[i]));
          i++;
     return hash;
then i ran this method:
String days[]=
          "Sun",
          "Mon",
          "Tue",
          "Wed",
          "Thu",
          "Fri",
          "Sat"
int offset[] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6};
makeHash(7, days[], offset[]);in eclipse, there is a red mark under the comma right after days[] in the makeHash parameter... when i mouse over it, it gave me an "Syntax error on token ",","." expected".. anyone know what i'm doing wrong?

String object vs String literal

Hi ,
I understand how the string objects are created using new operator and using literal.I also understand how they are stored in memory.All I want to know is that when and why should I create a String object using new and when I should create an object using literal.Is there any specific reason for creating an object using new operator when objects created by both the ways are immutable.
Thanks for the help in advance.
Thanks
Mouli

If you look at the String source code (particularly the constructors) youll learn a lot.
String objects contain a char[] array - and this is the most important part --> a start and length value.
I believe they were attempting to optimize, but this has important implications for developers.
String objects dont necessarily store just the text you see, it may just reference a much bigger char array.
For example, say an API passes you a string that is (lets pretend) a file path (C:\files\java\...\file.txt) that is 1,000,000 characters long.
Now say that you call getFileName() and want to save the filename in a list.
String filename = API.getFile("...").getFileName();
List.add(filename);
Say you do this about 250,000 times.
You estimate that the average file name is 10 chars and ensure there is that much RAM.
You run out of memory. Why?
Well, this example actually happened to me in a real program I was writing to archive drive files.
File.getFilename() returns a substring() of the entire File path.
However, substring is implemented to return a String that just references the original char[] array!
So the really long file path never gets garbage collected!
I was able to fix the program by coding it:
String filename = new String(API.getFile("...").getFileName()); // Copies only the needed chars!
List.add(filename);
So thats really all you need to watch out for. If memory is a concern in your program you want to
make sure you arent referencing large char[] arrays unnecessarily.
But like all things, this is rarely anything to give much thought to.
Only something to remember if you run into problems after coding sensibly and profiling
(or in my case, crashing with OOM exceptions, lol).

JSP String != JavaScript String

I've run across a problem that has intrigued me. Consider the following:
<% String test = new String();
test = "Hello Mr. Anderson...";
%>
<script language="javascript">
function doThis() {
alert("TEST: " + "<%=test%>");
</script>
// No problem, will work just fine. Now add an escape sequence (\n)
// to the test string
<% String test = new String();
test = "Hello Mr. Anderson...\n";
%>
<script language="javascript">
function doThis() {
alert("TEST: " + "<%=test%>");
</script>
Now we get
error: Unterminated string constant
on any call to doThis(). Why????? Javascript has wrappers around it's primitive data types as well, so I was thinking the conversion should be smooth here. Any experts out there know what's happening here?
Thanks,
Chris

The reason is you are printing out what's in the Java string to the browser, and that results in this:
"Hello Mr. Anderson...
So, as the first responder said, you need to escape the \n with \\n, which will write:
"Hello Mr. Anderson...\n"
in the browser, which will get translated in the Javascript parser as a new line.

String[] args fights String... args

Hi,
I thought this error message was a joke at first, but it's for real:
Arrayz.java:15: cannot declare both in(java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]) and in(java.lang.String,java.lang.String...) in krc.utilz.ArrayzPlease, would anyone care to offer an opinion as to WHY the compiler does not differentiate between String[] args and String... args. Obviously String... args is implemented internally as String[] args, but that really shouldn't effect the interface... and if they are internally equivalent then wny not allow a syntax that effectively declares both in one... It's just that I would have thought it was possible (and desirable) for the compiler & JVM to do the required parameter matching for both definitions... in my mind the calling parameter list of (String, String, String) is distinct from (String, String[]) ... Or does java (like C/C++) internally not differentiate between the types reference-to-String and reference-to-array-of-Strings and reference-to-array-of-array-of-Strings ????
I'm just a tad miffed about this... I mean, it's easy to work around in at least a dozen simple ways, it's just that the compiler didn't do what I expected it to do, so it should just pull it's socks up, and, well, you know, Work!
Here's the code... complete with compiler error.
package krc.utilz.stringz;
public class Arrayz
    * returns true if the given value is in the args list, else false.
    * @param value - the value to seek
    * @param args... - variable number of String arguments to look in
public static boolean in(String value, String... args) {
    for(String a : args) if(value.equals(a)) return true;
    return false;
//Arrayz.java:15: cannot declare both in(java.lang.String,java.lang.String[]) and in(java.lang.String,java.lang.String...) in krc.utilz.Arrayz
public static boolean in(String value, String[] array) {
    for(String s : array) if(value.equals(s)) return true;
    return false;
}Thanx all. Keith.

I didn't know that. Cool!
package forums;
class VarArgsTester
public static String join(String FS, String... args) {

    for (int i=1; i<args.length; i++) {
      sb.append(FS+args);
return sb.toString();
public static void main(String[] args) {
System.out.println(join(" ", "Your", "momma", "wears", "army", "boots"));
String[] words = {"But", "she", "looks", "very", "nice", "in", "them"};
System.out.println(join(" ", words));
I was expecting a compiler error from the line[
pre]System.out.println(join(" ", words));

Null String and Empty String problem

Hello everyone,
since i am totally new in JSP, i am getting problem in handling strings.
Suppose i have a variable users = ""; then
I want to ask when to use:
if (users.equals(""))
and
if(users == "")
in my code, variable users has value "regional" for regional users.
and i am checking this code as:
if (users.equals{"regional")) {
out.print ("I am inside code");
at that time, the code is throwing error (run time error)
and when i changed the code as:
if (users == "regional") {
out.print ("I am inside code");
this time, the code is not generating error but the part message "I am inside code " is not displaying. The code do not inserts inside the if condition
I hope u understand my problem. Can anybody help me out with this.

This has basically nothing to do with JSP, but with basic Java knowledge.
When using the '==' operator to compare Objects (yes, String is actually a subclass of Object), then it will look if they are of the same reference. Using the '==' operator to compare primitive datatypes (int, boolean, char, etc) will look if they have the same value.
That is why the Object class has the equals() method to give the ability compare with another objects. And you can only invoke it when the Object is actually instantiated. So if it is not null.
if (string != null && string.equals("somevalue")) {
// or
if ("somevalue".equals(string)) {
}should work.
Edit rym82: this will not throw a NPE, but an ordinary compilation error ;)

What is difference between Null String and Empty String ?

Hi
Just i have little confusion that the difference bet'n NULL String and Empty String ..
Please clear my doubte.
Thankx

For the same reason I think it's okay to say "null
String" and "empty String "as long as you know they
really mean "null String reference" and "empty String
object" respectively. Crap. It's only okay to say that as long as *the one you're talking to" knows what it really means. Whether you know it or not is absolutely irrelevant. And there is hardly any ambiguity about the effects that a statement like "assign an object to a reference" brings. "Null String" differs in that way.

Replace String in a String

How can I replace a String in a String ,for example :
in the String "Hello World" replace Hello with Bye" ?
Is there a class or code I can find for that purpose?

use an utility method like this :
I did not found an existing method doing this in java.lang.String or StringBufer
public static String replaceFirstSubstring(
String stringToSubstitute, String searchString, String replaceString) {
if (stringToSubstitute == null) {
return null;
int prefixEndIndex = stringToSubstitute.indexOf(searchString);
if (prefixEndIndex == -1) {
return stringToSubstitute;
int suffixStartIndex = prefixEndIndex + searchString.length();
StringBuffer newString = new StringBuffer(stringToSubstitute.substring(0, prefixEndIndex));
newString.append(replaceString).append(stringToSubstitute.substring(suffixStartIndex));
return newString.toString();
put it in a while if you need to replace more than 1 time
