Take an existing text file and modify values

I’m looking to take an existing text file and modify certain values inside of it. Then save it to a new file, with all the same formatting as the original. The file format is not uniform and can change.
Basically the file is:
Random numbers and letters of unknown length for an unknown number of lines.
Label="Test_#"
Description
String
X=123
Y=456
Z=-789
20 lines of strings with numbers in them
Label="Test_#2"
Description
String
X=-1232
Y=4562
Z=7892
Then it repeats a set number of times.
I want to modify the X Y and Z = values for each Test_#.
I’ve managed to import the important values into a numeric array and I have a different array with values that will replace the existing ones. I’m having troubles replacing the existing ones. There are no zeros before or after the existing numbers so they are all different lengths.
If anyone has any sample code that does anything similar please post it. I’m sure someone has done something like this in the past.

I just thought I would throw this out there.  Can you make the .txt file tokenized?  This would make searching for specific parameters much easier.

  • Reading a text file and transferring values into array

    Hi,
    I have a problem. So what I am trying to do is that, I read a text file and insert specific values from the text file into an array for future needs.
    But I have to make sure that there is no duplicate entries. So thats what I have but, my method takes forever to finish...
    here is my code:
    String nomFichier = "Test_" + numTest + "_" + date + ".txt";
            String ligne = "";
            int z = 0;
            int j = 0;
            BufferedReader lecteurFichier = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(nomFichier));
            while ((ligne = lecteurFichier.readLine()) != null) {
                if (z > 3)
                    String valeur = "";
                    String dist = "";
                    boolean unique = true;
                    String [] chiffre = ligne.split(";");
                     if (intervalleAnalyser == 1)
                        valeur = chiffre[3];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (intervalleAnalyser == 2)
                        valeur = chiffre[2];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (intervalleAnalyser == 3)
                        valeur = chiffre[1];
                        dist = chiffre[4];
                    if (z == 4) {
                        intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
                        j++;
                    if (z > 4) {
                        for (int i = 0; i < intervalleDiagramme.length; i++)
                             for (int x = 0; x < i; x++)
                                 if(intervalleDiagramme[i] == intervalleDiagramme[x])
                                    unique = false;
                        if (unique)
                            intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
                        j++;
                z++;
            lecteurFichier.close(); // toujours fermer le fichier

    Hi,
    Thanks for your reply,
    1) Yeah I have a method that asks the question and assigns it to a variable.
    2) Well the z will stop once there is no lines to read no?
    for the set.add(), I am not that familar...
    I changed bit a code and I have this now:
    if (z > 4) {
                        for (int i = 0; i < intervalleDiagramme.length; i++)
                            System.out.println(intervalleDiagramme);
    if(intervalleDiagramme[i].equals(valeur))
    System.out.println(intervalleDiagramme[i] + " " + valeur);
    unique = false;
    if (unique)
    intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
    EDIT:
    I figured a way to assign " " to all the values in my array. But I get this error:
    Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 380
    at TP3.lireFichier(TP3.java:305)
    And my line 305 is: intervalleDiagramme[j] = valeur;
    EDIT2:
    So ok I found my mistake and corrected it. But I want to know is there a way of doing this without setting the size of the array? because sometimes there needs to be 21 values sometimes 19 and sometimes 20....
    If I take out: = new String [21] out I get a NullPointer error...

  • Compare data from 2 text files and output match

    Hi all,
    I need some advice.
    Firstly in BinaryCode.txt the data is as such:
    Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    Replace BinaryCode0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1
    Replace BinaryCode1 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 1 1
    Replace BinaryCode1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0
    the first line in the text file is the header. So I need to check if the names in the second column (BinaryCode0 or BinaryCode1)appear in the Timed_Sets.txt file.
    The data in Timed_Sets.txt is as such:
    BinaryCode0,6,40,.........................
    BinaryCode0,7,40,.........................
    BCName1,0,20,.............................
    BCName1,1,20,............................. 
    For example since  BinaryCode0 is a match I will output the entire row in Timed_Set.txt to another array. 
    I have been working on a program but I don't get the expected output. 
    The text files and the VI are attached.
    I appreciate your kind assistance in the matter.
    Thank You

    If I understood correctly what the output should be then what you basically need to do is to walk through the column in BinaryCode.txt and for each unique value pull out the corresponding rows from Timed_Sets.txt. There's a variety of ways to do this, depending on how much data you have and whether or not you can use any kind of prior knowledge as to the actual file content (such as the names of the keys being searched). Attached is one way. Modify as needed.

    See in this case as you are dealing with Files and database. you need read the File by using the I/O Streams. if you have to select some particular values you can go Random access file.Once you have retrived values. You can go for the second part that is make a jdbc connection to database, and use simple SQL statements to populate those values into the table.
    How this will give you a better picture

    when i run it this is all i get:

    I haven't looked closely, but my spidey sense tingles at this:
    new FileOutputStream(MPath)This will clobber (erase) the previous contents of the file. Open in append mode:
    new FileOutputStream(MPath, true)Of course, if the file exists before you run this code, you will end up append to the original contents. If that is not wanted, consider using File's delete method first.

    void ReadTextFile()
                        FileInputStream fis=new FileInputStream(new File("nieman.txt"));
                         InputStreamReader isr=new InputStreamReader(fis);
                         char[] buf=new char[1024];
                         isr.read(buf,0,1024);
                         fstr=new String(buf);
                         String Tokenizer st=new StringTokenizer(fstr,",");
                         while(st.hasMoreTokens())
                                          pcode1=st.nextToken();
                               pname1=st.nextToken();
              price1=st.nextToken();
                              sname1=st.nextToken();
         } //close of while loop
                    } //close of methodHere goes my problem: I am unable to display the values of pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 when I am trying to access them from outside the ReadTextFile method as they are storing "null" values . I want to create a persistent string variable so that I can access the contents of the string variable from anywhere with in the java file. Please provide your comments for this problem as early as possible.
    Thanks in advance.

    If pcode1,pname1,price1,sname1 are global variables, which I assume they are, then simply put the word static in front of them. That way, any class in your file can access those values by simply using this notation:
    MyClassName.pcode1;
    MyClassName.pname1;
    MyClassName.price1;
    MyClassName.sname1

  • Searching a text file and printing the line if found!

    Hi, Im fairly new to JAVA and have been googling this for hours and havent found any results that
    have helped me...
    Im looking to search a text file for a value that is in a that is delimited by colons
    eg 45787 : 398948 : 398884 : 398984
    IF that value is found I need to print this entire line and move it into a string.
    I can work out the delimit part, the problem for me is a)searching the text file
    and b) tell java to print that line only??
    Any help would be very very much appreciated
    Cheers

      public void printCourses() throws Exception
                stuinput[] courseObjArray = new stuinput[10]; //Make sure this is the same as the ammount in the text

                   for(int i1 = 0;i1 < courseObjArray.length;i1++)
                   System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseCode);
                   System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
                   System.out.println(courseObjArray[i1].courseName);
                   System.out.println("-----------------");

                   if (courseCode2  == "12345")
                        System.out.println("working");
                   else{System.out.println("Not Found");}
           }hmmm just wondering why could this method always return a "Not Found"....if the text file had a whole bunch of values like this
    12345:Course1
    12344:Course2
    12343:Course3
    isnt it surposed to return 1 "Working"?? because there is a 12345 in on of the line, in the semi colon delimited line with 2 values, one being the course code, one being the course name??
    Given that there is 10 lines (from Array Object)

    There are so many things wrong with this VI, I'm not even sure where to start.
    Hard-coding paths that point to your user folder on the block diagram. What if somebody else tries to run it? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on Windows 7? They'll get an error. What if somebody tries to run this on a Mac or Linux? They'll get an error.
    Not using Read From Spreadsheet File.
    Use of local variables to populate an array.
    Cannot insert values into an empty array.
    What if there's a line missing from the text file? Now your data will not line up. Your case structure does handle this.
    Also, how does this answer the poster's question?

  • Reading through a text file and then sorting

    I'm having a lot of problems with this.
    I have to read through a text file and I have to split the string up so that it is seperated into individual tokens. A line from the text file looks like this. addEvent(new Bell(tm + 9000)). I have to grab the addEvent, new, Bell, tm and 9000 and store it in a linkedlist. After reading through the whole text file I have to sort the the linked list based on the number. ie: 9000. Is there any way to do this? I currently break up the text file using a StringTokenizer object but then i am uncertain on how to add it to a linked list and then sort each line based on the number. Any help would be appreciated.
    Joe

    Sorry to bother you Ben but I just can't get my head wrapped around this. Here is exactly what I have to do:
    After reading, Events must be stored in the EventSet according to the time they are to occur. Assume that no time number is more than 8 digits long. Restart() must be able to deal appropriately with any order of the Events. To accomplish this have Restart() save the relevant Event information in an LinkedList of strings and sort the Events by time before adding each event to EventSet. Use the <list>.add() to set up your linked list. This is shown in c09:List1.java and Collections.sort(<list>) shown in c09:ListSortSearch. Modify the Bell() to output a single "Bing!". When you read in a Bell event generate the appropriate number of Bell events as indicated by rings. These must be set to the correct times. This is an alternative to generating the new Bell events within Bell(). It will allow them be sorted into their correct time sequence. At this point the output of the program should be identical the original program.
    After the intitial start, when restarting Restart() must provide to the user the option to recreate the EventSet from the linked list or read in a new file (supplied by the user). This must be achieved by prompting the user at the console. Please also allow the user the option to quit the program at this stage.
