UseDelimiter("//D")

I got this line "(123     +(45 -3))*4000/-2" read in by a scanner
Scanner scan1= new Scanner(line); //scan by tokens
Scanner scan2 = new Scanner(line).useDelimiter("\\D"); //scan by numbers
The problem is that scan2 takes in the numbers and also white spaces if there are 2 or more arithmetic operators +,-,/,*, or parenthesis ( and )
How do i get rid of the white spaces being read in??

You can split up the regex for more clarity and even expand it with the introduction of decimal numbers like this:import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class Main {
    public static void main(String[] args) { 
        String expression = "(123.3 +(45 -3))*4000/-2";
        String integer = "[0-9]+";
        String decimal = integer+"\\."+integer; // '.' is also a special regex-character!
        String operator = "\\*|\\+|-|/";
        String parenthesis = "\\(|\\)";
        // 'decimal' needs to come before 'integer'
        String regex = decimal+"|"+integer+"|"+operator+"|"+parenthesis;
        Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(regex);
        Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(expression);  
        List<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>(); 
        while(matcher.find()) {
            tokens.add(matcher.group());     
        System.out.println(tokens);

  • Address book .... importing text file

    I am designing an address book which opens a text file called AddressBook.txt which reads in the information in the following format:
    lastname,firstname,street,city,state,zip,phonenumber,birthday,persontype
    lastname2,firstname2,street2,city2,state2,zip2,phonenumber2,birthday2,persontype2
    etc. (with a maximum entries of 500)
    I am having a problem reading in the information without the commas and wrapping to the next line. I can either use the BufferedReader or Scanner to input the file and as you can see below, my code is not complete yet. I can't figure out how to code the storeAddress() method in order to get the addressBookEntries[] to include the necessary information for outputting, sorting, etc. If I can get the information read into the addressBookEntries[], I think I will probably be able to proceed in the rest of the required tasks (i.e. sorting by last name, searching by last name, etc.)

    Ok, I have changed my code to reflect your suggested changes, but I'm still unsure how to use the findInLine you suggested.... This is all very new to me and I've been looking on the java website for suggestions, but I'm still stumped on how to pull this together. I'm unsure on how to set the lastname,firstname,etc. for retrieval...
    Here's my code:

  • Using ArrayList to store Lines in a text File

    Hey Guys,
    I have the following program that I am using to read a text file and store each word in each line in an ArrayList. But I am getting the following error;

                System.out.println(iter1.next());
                System.out.println(iter2.next());
    }I do not understand why this does not work. Can someone please point me in the right direction?
    Thank You
    Jaz

    Instead of doing this:
    bread.add(lineScanner.next());
    filling.add(lineScanner.next());
    System.out.println(iter1.next());
    System.out.println(iter2.next());where presumably you're just printing what you just
    barely added, do this:
    Object breadObject = lineScanner.next();
    Object fillingObject = lineScanner.next();
    bread.add(breadObject);
    filling.add(fillingObject);
    System.out.println(breadObject);
    System.out.println(fillingObject);
    And get rid of the now unused iterators.Im not sure I understand quiet what is happening here. Are you creating a primitive data type of type Object and then storing all the values in that variable?
    why would I do this when this only allows me to view the very last element that was added to the list? I want to view the entire list.
    Thanks

It will return an array with a size of 1, and at this time referencing index 1 is out of bound, remember that the upper bound of an array is its size-1. One workaround is to put a selection structure after line 36.

  • Word Frequency Counter...

    Hello all, I am working on a project that is supposed to read in a text file from a command prompt, and then break all the words up. As the words are read in by the Scanner, I need to have a counter that counts the number of times the word has occured already that I can access and display in the output. I have come up with this so far as my driver/main class, and also the Count class that I'm trying to use to keep track of the number of times a word has occured in the text, and then so I can add it to a HashMap and display later... The problem is, whenever I try to run the program with a text file, it just ends up displaying all the words in a line and then a number 1 next to it. What I need is the output to look similar to this... For example,
    hello 1
    world 1
    Any help would be appreciated! Thanks.

    VisualAssassin wrote:

    {code}According to the documentation for Scanner.useDelimiter(), the String supplied is used as a regular expression. Therefore, for the scanner to tokenize into two separate tokens, your input stream would have to contain all of those listed characters in order!
    Instead, use this (untested):
    {code}
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file).useDelimiter("[" + Pattern.quote(" \t\n\r\f.,<>\"\'=/") + "]+");
    The beginning and end square braces tell the regular expression engine to match +any+ of those characters, and the plus means one or more times.  The Pattern.quote is used to escape some of the characters that would get you into trouble because they have a special meaning in regexes, notably "."

  • Reading a String with Scanner and ignoring whitespace

    Hi,
    This has probably been asked a million times, and I've searched Google and these forums, but I haven't found an answer that works for me.
    I have some class that needs to read user input from the command line, so I figured I'd use Scanner, since I've seen it used umpteen-hundred times in all the "do my homework" threads. I want to print out some line to the terminal, which will prompt the user to enter something. The user should then enter something and hit enter, and the Scanner should store the input in a variable of sorts.
    I've tried using Scanner.nextLine(), but that does not block for user input and the program terminates. I've tried Scanner.next() which does block for user input and allows the user to input something, but I cannot find a way to read the entire String; it will stop reading when it reaches whitespace. I've tried using a delimiter, but that seems to terminate the program when I prompt for the input, similar to Scanner.nextLine().
    Here's what I have at the moment:
    Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); //I have also tried useDelimiter("\\s")
    System.out.print("Enter the desired command: ");
    String name = scanner.next();
    System.out.println("Command entered: " + name);The above code will work if the command is only one word, e.g. "connect". If the command is more than one word, it will only store the first word in the name variable. Again, I've tried using a delimiter for whitespace, but that hasn't worked.
    Is there a way to solve this problem? Perhaps I need to use another tool to read user input from the terminal? Am I just missing something? Do I need to explain more?
    Any advice is appreciated.
    Thanks

    I don't know why scanner.nextLine() doesn't work for you, it does for me with the following (copied) code:
    import java.util.Scanner;
    class Z
        public static void main(String[] args)
            Scanner scanner = new Scanner(System.in); //I have also tried useDelimiter("\\s")
            System.out.print("Enter the desired command: ");
            String name = scanner.nextLine();
            System.out.println("Command entered: " + name);
        }

  • Trying to Scan in a List of Names Using a Delimiter from a Text File

    Hello everyone,
    I tried posting this question onto [Codecall Forums|http://forum.codecall.net/java-help/16064-trying-scan-list-names-using-delimiter-text-file.html] for an answer, but nobody really helped to solve this problem, so I'm reposting it here.
    I'm trying to solve this problem on the Euler Project for practice. For the first part of the problem, I am supposed to scan in names in the following format: "name1","name2","name3". To solve this, I wrote the following code:
    import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    public class AlphabeticalSort
         public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException
              //import the file
              Scanner input = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));
              input.useDelimiter("[\",]");
              System.out.println(input.delimiter());
              //scan it for the length of the array
              int n = 0;
              while (input.hasNext())
                   input.next();
                   n++;
              System.out.println(n);
              //import the names into the array
              Scanner input2 = new Scanner(new File("names.txt"));
              input2.useDelimiter("[\",]");
              String[] names = new String[n];
              for (int i=0; i<n; i++)
                   names[i] = input2.next();
                   System.out.println(names);
    }However, when I tested this with a file containing "BOB","STEVE","MARK", n equaled 7 and my output was the names each separated by two empty lines.  There are other methods I can use to solve this problem, but I would really like to know why my delimiters are not working so I can use them in the future.
    Thanks,

  • A little problem getting the style tag of a html file seperate from rest

    I'm making a program that will take in a URL and then search through that URL for all a, link, embed, frame, and img tags, find their sources, and download them. I also want to search through the style and find anything that uses a URL (ex. background-image:url('somepic.jpg')) and download that file. In the end, you should be able to go to the directory you saved it all in, open index.html, and see an exact replica of the original site. Now, my problem is that my program isn't getting the style tag's contents. Here's my code: import java.io.*;
    import java.util.*;
    import java.net.*;
    public class Test
         //-->>>> MAIN <<<<--//
         public static void main(String...a)
              try{
                   System.out.print("Enter URL: ");
                   String target = new Scanner(System.in).next();
                   URL url = null;
                   try{
                        url = new URL(target);
                   }catch(MalformedURLException x){
                        url = new URL("http://" + target);
                   Scanner scan = new Scanner(url.openStream());
                   scan.useDelimiter("<");
                   ArrayList<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>();
                   while(scan.hasNext())
                        String str = scan.next();
                        str = str.trim();
                        Scanner tags = new Scanner(str);
                        if(tags.hasNext())
                             String tag = tags.next();
                             if(tag.equalsIgnoreCase("a") || tag.equalsIgnoreCase("img") || tag.equalsIgnoreCase("link") || tag.equalsIgnoreCase("embed") || tag.equalsIgnoreCase("frame"))
                                  tokens.add(str);
                             else if(tag.equalsIgnoreCase("style"))
                                  tokens.add(str);// This isn't adding anything
                   for(String str : tokens)
                        System.out.println(str);
              }catch(UnknownHostException x){
                   System.err.println("Host not found.");
              }catch(Exception x){
                   x.printStackTrace();
         //-->>>> FindURLAttributes <<<<--// <--- Under construction
         private static ArrayList<String> findURLAttributes(String tag)
              ArrayList<String> tokens = new ArrayList<String>();
              tokens.add(tag);
              return tokens;
    }

    I've never tried it, but it seems like using an existing html parser would be a lot easier. I've worked with xml dom parsers, and it's not really that hard. I don't imagine working with an html dom would be too difficult either, at least it wouldn't be as hard as doing it by hand. Google for java html parser and see if any of them suit your needs.

  • Java Progrramming HELP, Needed Urgently, T hanks

    hey guys,
    I have this lab I need to be done tomorrow, its been weeks lol of thinking and figuring things out can someone make it work ? Pleaseeeee !
    I feel like going out and yelling for help lol I have been trying to figure this out for weeks now.
    I am pasting my Lab and My Codes I did so far, And Please I really need this done today at any rate, all help would be kindly appreciated.
    A Java program is required that will produce a number of reports based on the data from the Product file. This file contains the product name, cost, quantity and UPC. The file name must be input. Valid data from the file will be loaded into an array.
    A menu will provide the following options: (Note there are changes from previous assignment.)
    1     Display of all valid product information including extended price and GST including totals sorted by name.
    2     Display of all invalid records sorted by name.
    3     Search and display a certain product by name.
    4     Sort by UPC and use a binary search and display a certain product by UPC. (valid records)
    9 Exit.
    Processing requirements:
    Input the data from a file and load the records into an object array. Use this object array to produce the above reports.
    Code a class definition exactly as given in the following UML.
    (For specific students: you may code the UPC as an integer but if not numeric throw an exception that is handled in main. Document your choice in your submission).
    Product
    ? Name : String
    ? UPC : String
    ? Cost : Real
    ? Quantity : Integer
    + Product (Name : String, UPC : String, Cost : Real, Quantity : Integer)
    + Calculate Extended Cost() : Real
    + Calculate GST(): Real
    Input Record:
    Product name: String
    UPC: String
    Cost: real
    Quantity: integer
    Output Reports
    1. Display of all product information including extended cost and GST including totals of these 3 fields.
    Following is a sample of the output required:
    ************************ Product Cost REPORT ****************************
    Product                    Cost Quantity Extended Cost     GST     Total Cost
    Diamond Necklace 12345678901x 54,321.99 188 10,212,534.12 510,626.71 10,723,160.83
    Tissues 98989898989x 1.99 2 3.98      0.20     4.18
    TOTALS                         10,212,538.10 510,626.91 10,723,165.01
    2. Display of all invalid records and the count.
    Following is a sample of the output required:
    Invalid UPC Records = 1
    Count Record
    1          Tiara Diamond, 12345678901x, 36020.00, 2
    3. Search and display a certain product by name. Display appropriate message if not found.
    Following is a sample of the output required:
    Enter product name: CrownJewels
    CrownJewels 99999999991x     100,000.00 1 100,000.00 5,000.00 $105,000.00
    6. Display the product information sorted by name
    Following is a sample of the output required:
    ************************ Product Cost REPORT ****************************
    Product                    Cost Quantity Extended Cost     GST     Total Cost
    CrownJewels 99999999991x 100,000.00 1 100,000.00 5,000.00 $105,000.00
    Diamond Necklace 12345678901x 54,321.99 188 10,212,534.12 510,626.71 $10,723,160.83
    Pearls      88888888881x 10,000.00 1 10,000.00 500.00 $10,500.00
    RubyRing      77777777771x 10,000.00 1 10,000.00 500.00 $10,500.00
    Tissues      98989898989x 1.99 2 3.98 0.20     $4.18
    TOTALS          (complete these values)           xxx           xxx      xxx
    Java coding requirements for this assignment
    Main methods required
    1.     Load array with all records. Display exception messages only for records that have invalid data in any of the fields. Return array of valid records and logical size.
    2.     Validate the UPC. Display each report when requested from the menu.
    3.     Justify the data in the columns. Right justify numeric fields; left justify the alpha fields.
    4.     A method for each report required in the menu.
    Class methods
    5.     Use the object method for the extended cost.
    6.     Use the object method for the GST.
    You may use additional methods in the main program but do not add any methods in the class definition.
    Use DecimalFormat for rounding.
    Create an array to hold the objects. Assume that we only need to process a file of a maximum of 500 records but the file may be larger than 500 records.
    A Universal Product Code consists of 12 digits. The first digit (from the left) is the UPC type. The next five digits are the Manufacturer code. The next five digits are the product code which is assigned by the manufacturer. The final digit is the check digit. A person can determine the check digit of a Universal Product Code by doing the following:
    Step 1: Sum all of the digits in the odd positions together.
    0+4+0+1+5+9 = 19
    Step 2: Multiply the sum from Step 1 by 3.
    3 * 19 = 57
    Step 3: Sum all of the digits in the even positions together.
    6+2+0+1+8 = 17
    Step 4: Sum together the results from Step 2 and Step 3.
    17 + 57 = 74
    Step 5: Subtract the sum from the next highest multiple of 10.
    80 - 74 = 6 [check digit]
    TEST DATA:
    Step 1: Create 5 or MORE additional records that will test all conditions. Include these in your documentation. Identify what field is tested in your test data. (Example: error in each field of the record, rounding up, rounding down, valid UPC, invalid UPC, formatting of report, file too large
    Step 2: Use the file attached.
    GODDDDDDDDDDDDDD lol pasting it made me go crazy,
    these are my codes so far, HOwever the problem is ONLY DISPLAY MENU SHOWS, nothing else even though i have enough codes that it can show something,
    My codes are as follows:

    Any help would be great thanks !!
    Take care,

    1) It's your problem that you waited until the last minute before you went for help...not ours. We'll give your problem the same attention as anyone elses...therefore your problem isn't any more urgent than any other problem here.
    2) I don't intend on doing your entire assignment. Nor do I intend on reading all of it. If you need help with a specific requirement, then post the information/code relevant to that requirement. I don't know how to help you when you bury the problem inside a 9 mile long essay.
    3) Post code in tags so it's formatted and readable. (there's a *code* button up above that makes the tags for you).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

  • Parse of a xml file to an java object model

    Hello,
    I'm trying to do a program that receive an xml file and ought to create all the neccesary java objects according to the content of the parsed xml file.
    I've all the class created for all the objects that could be present into the xml and the idea is to go down in the tree of nodes recursively until it returns nodes more simple. Then, I create the last object and while I come back of the recursively calls, I create the objects more complex until I reached to the main object.
    Until now, I have part of this code, that is the one wich have to parse the parts of the xml.
    public static void readFile(String root){
              DocumentBuilderFactory factory = DocumentBuilderFactory
                   .newInstance();
              try {
                   DocumentBuilder builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                   Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(root)).useDelimiter("\\Z");
                   String contents = scanner.next();
                   scanner.close();
                   Document document = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(contents.getBytes()));
                   Node node = null;
                   NodeList nodes = null;
                   Element element = document.getDocumentElement();
                   System.out.println(element.getNodeName());
                   NodeList subNodes;
                   NamedNodeMap attributes;
                   //if (element.hasAttributes())
                   visitNodes(element);
              } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (SAXException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
         private static void visitNodes (Node node){
              for(Node childNode = node.getFirstChild(); childNode!=null;){
                   if (childNode.getNodeType() == childNode.DOCUMENT_NODE){
                        System.out.println("Document node Name " + childNode.getNodeName());
                        visitNodes(childNode);
                   }else if (childNode.getNodeType() == childNode.ELEMENT_NODE){
                        System.out.println("Node Name " + childNode.getNodeName());
                        if (childNode.hasAttributes()){
                             visitAttributes(childNode.getAttributes());
                        if (childNode.hasChildNodes()){
                             visitNodes(childNode);
                   }else if (childNode.getNodeType() == childNode.TEXT_NODE && !childNode.getNodeValue().contains("\n\t")){
                        System.out.println("Node value " + childNode.getNodeValue());
                   Node nextChild = childNode.getNextSibling();
                   childNode = nextChild;
         private static void visitAttributes(NamedNodeMap attributes){
              Node node;
              for(int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++){
                   node = attributes.item(i);
                   System.out.print(node.getNodeName() + " ");
                   System.out.print(node.getNodeValue() + " ");
                  }I don't know the use of childNodeType. For example, I expected that the XML tags with childs in his structure, enter by the option NODE_DOCUMENT and the tags without childs by the ELEMENT_NODE.
    But the most important problem I've found are the nodes [#text] because after one ELEMENT_NODE I always found this node and when I ask if the node hasChilds, always returns true by this node.
    Has any option to obtain this text value, that finally I want to display without doing other recursively call when I enter into the ELEMENT_NODE option?
    When one Node is of type DOCUMENT_NODE or DOCUMENT_COMMENT? My program always enter by the ELEMENT_NODE type
    Have you any other suggestions? All the help or idea will be well received.
    Thanks for all.

    Hello again,
    My native language is Spanish and sorry by my English I attemp write as better I can, using my own knowledge and the google traductor.
    I have solved my initial problem with the xml parser.
    Firstly, I read the complete XML file, validated previously.
    The code I've used is this:
    public static String readCompleteFile (String root){
              String content = "";
              try {
                   Scanner scanner = new Scanner(new File(root)).useDelimiter("\\Z");
                   content = scanner.next();
                   scanner.close();
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              return content;
         }Now, I've the file in memory and I hope I can explain me better.
    I can receive different types of XML that could be or not partly equals.
    For this purpose I've created an external jar library with all the possible objects contained in my xml files.
    Each one of this objects depend on other, until found leaf nodes.
    For example, If I receive one xml with a scheme like the next:
    <Person>
        <Name>Juliet</Name>
        <Father Age="30r">Peter</Father>
        <Mother age="29">Theresa</Mother>
        <Brother>
        </Brother>
        <Education>
            <School>
            </school>
        </education>
    </person>
    <person>
    </person>The first class, which initializes the parse, should selecting all the person tags into the file and treat them one by one. This means that for each person tag found, I must to call each subobject wich appears in the tag. using as parameter his own part of the tag and so on until you reach a node that has no more than values and or attributes. When the last node is completed I'm going to go back for completing the parent objects until I return to the original object. Then I'll have all the XML in java objects.
    The method that I must implement as constructor in every object is similar to this:
    public class Person{
      final String[] SUBOBJETOS = {"Father", "Mother", "Brothers", "Education"};
      private String name;
         private Father father;
         private Mother mother;
         private ArrayList brothers;
         private Education education;
         public Person(String xml){
           XmlUtil utilXml = new XmlUtil();          
              String xmlFather = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[0]);
              String xmlMother = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[1]);
              String xmlBrothers = utilXml.textBetweenMultipleXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
              String xmlEducation = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xml, SUBOBJETOS[3]);
              if (!xmlFather.equals("")){
                   this.setFather(new Father(xmlFather));
              if (!xmlMother.equals("")){
                   this.setMother(new Father(xmlMother));
              if (!xmlBrothers.equals("")){
                ArrayList aux = new ArrayList();
                String xmlBrother;
                while xmlBrothers != null && !xmlBrothers.equals("")){
                  xmlBrother = utilXml.textBetweenXmlTags(xmlBrothers, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
                  aux.add(new Brother(xmlBrother);
                  xmlBrothers = utilXml.removeTagTreated(xmlBrothers, SUBOBJETOS[2]);
                this.setBrothers(aux);
              if (!xmlEducation.equals("")){
                   this.setEducation(new Father(xmlEducation));     
    }If the object is a leaf object, the constructor will be like this:
    public class Mother {
         //Elements
         private String name;
         private String age;
         public Mother(String xml){          
              XmlUtil utilXml = new XmlUtil();
              HashMap objects = utilXml.parsearString(xml);
              ArraysList objectsList = new ArrayList();
              String[] Object = new String[2];
              this.setName((String)objects.get("Mother"));
              if (objects.get("attributes")!= null){
                   objectsList = objects.get("attributes");
                   for (int i = 0; i < objectsList.size();i++){
                     Object = objectsList.get(i);
                     if (object[0].equals("age"))
                       this.setAge(object[1]);
                     else
         }Each class will have its getter and setter but I do not have implemented in the examples.
    Finally, the parser is as follows:
    import java.io.ByteArrayInputStream;
    import java.io.IOException;
    import java.util.ArrayList;
    import java.util.HashMap;
    import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilder;
    import javax.xml.parsers.DocumentBuilderFactory;
    import javax.xml.parsers.ParserConfigurationException;
    import org.w3c.dom.Document;
    import org.w3c.dom.NamedNodeMap;
    import org.w3c.dom.Node;
    import org.xml.sax.SAXException;
    public class XmlUtil {
         public HashMap parsearString(String contenido){
              HashMap objet = new HashMap();
              DocumentBuilderFactory factory;
              DocumentBuilder builder;
              Document document;
              try{
                   if (content != null && !content.equals("")){
                        factory = DocumentBuilderFactory.newInstance();
                        builder = factory.newDocumentBuilder();
                        document = builder.parse(new ByteArrayInputStream(content.getBytes()));
                        object = visitNodes(document);                    
                   }else{
                        object = null;
              } catch (ParserConfigurationException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   return null;
              } catch (SAXException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   return null;
              } catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
                   return null;
              return object;
         private HashMap visitNodes (Node node){
              String nodeName = "";
              String nodeValue = "";
              ArrayList attributes = new ArrayList();
              HashMap object = new HashMap();
              Node childNode = node.getFirstChild();
              if (childNode.getNodeType() == Node.ELEMENT_NODE){
                   nodeName = childNode.getNodeName();                    
                   if (childNode.hasAttributes()){
                        attributes = visitAttributes(childNode.getAttributes());
                   }else{
                        attributes = null;
                   nodeValue = getNodeValue(childNode);
                   object.put(nodeName, nodeValue);
                   object.put("attributes", attributes);
              return object;
         private static String getNodeValue (Node node){          
              if (node.hasChildNodes() && node.getFirstChild().getNodeType() == Node.TEXT_NODE && !node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue().contains("\n\t"))
                   return node.getFirstChild().getNodeValue();
              else
                   return "";
         private ArrayList visitAttributes(NamedNodeMap attributes){
              Node node;
              ArrayList ListAttributes = new ArrayList();
              String [] attribute = new String[2];
              for(int i = 0; i < attributes.getLength(); i++){
                   atribute = new String[2];
                   node = attributes.item(i);
                   if (node.getNodeType() == Node.ATTRIBUTE_NODE){
                        attribute[0] = node.getNodeName();
                        attribute[1] = node.getNodeValue();
                        ListAttributes.add(attribute);
              return ListAttributes;
    }This code functioning properly. However, as exist around 400 objects to the xml, I wanted to create a method for more easily invoking objects that are below other and that's what I can't get to do at the moment.
    The code I use is:
    import java.lang.reflect.Constructor;
    import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;
    import java.lang.reflect.Method;
    public class UtilClasses {
         public Object UtilClasses(String package, String object, String xml){
              try {
                Class class = Class.forName(package + "." + object);
                //parameter types for methods
                Class[] partypes = new Class[]{Object.class};
                //Create method object . methodname and parameter types
                Method meth = class.getMethod(object, partypes);
                //parameter types for constructor
                Class[] constrpartypes = new Class[]{String.class};
                //Create constructor object . parameter types
                Constructor constr = claseObjeto.getConstructor(constrpartypes);
                //create instance
                Object obj = constr.newInstance(new String[]{xml});
                //Arguments to be passed into method
                Object[] arglist = new Object[]{xml};
                //invoke method!!
                String output = (String) meth.invoke(dummyto, arglist);
                System.out.println(output);
            } catch (ClassNotFoundException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (SecurityException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (NoSuchMethodException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalArgumentException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (IllegalAccessException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (InvocationTargetException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
            } catch (InstantiationException e) {
                e.printStackTrace();
              return null;
         }This is an example obtained from the Internet that I've wanted modified to my needs. The problem is that when the class calls this method to invoke the constructor and does not fail, this does not do what I expect, because it creates an empty constructor. If not, the parent class gives a casting error.
    I hope that now have been more clear my intentions and that no one has fallen asleep reading this lengthy explanation.
    greetings.

    Hi Monica, Thanks for you patience with me.
    I have tried writing a selection sort method but am having some errors. Could you kindly have a lookand correct me please.
    This is the code i wrote
    public static void selectionSort(Comparable [] data)
              String strFirstName;
              String strLastName;
              Comparable temp;
              for(int i = 0; i < lastName.length; i++)
                   lastName = index;
                   for (int j = i; j < lastName.length; j++)
                        if (lastName[j].compareTo(lastName) < 0)
                             lastName[j] = lastName[i];
                   //Swap the string values
                   temp = lastName[j];
                   lastName[j] = lastName[i];
                   lastName[i] = temp;
    As you requested, below are 4 error messages I had
    E:\coursework2.java:101: cannot find symbol
    symbol : variable index
    location: class coursework2
                   lastName = index;
    ^
    E:\coursework2.java:107: cannot find symbol

  • JButtons in JToolbar don't work with JApplet- why?

    I made a JApplet which has a toolbar, populated with burrons that manipulate data from text files. The programs works perfectly when it is not a JApplet. However, once I converted it to a JApplet it does nothing. The code was exactly the same, but, pressing buttons does nothing when it is an applet. here is the complete code;

    }I have tried uploading it to a server, running it from appletviewer, and locally using the .HTML file. The GUI works fine, everything is there, however, pressing the buttons does nothing.
    Can you not use the Scanners and such with JApplets?

  • Help needed, Createing Dynamic User input

    Hello,
    I am attempting to create some dynamic user input by "predicting" what the user requires in a text box.
    For example if the user enters "Smi" I have a select list pop up which gives the user all options that begin with "Smi".
    I am able to achieve the popups but the interface is quite jerky and not terribly responsive I am trying to solve this by using a thread which starts and stops when new input is received but it is still not quite right.
    The program uses a Sorted TreeSet to hold the data (I thought this would give me a quick search time) and a simple interface at this stage.
    Any help would be fantastic
    Thanks in advance :P

  • Help needed, Providing Dynamic User input

    Hello,
    I am attempting to create some dynamic user input by "predicting" what the user requires in a text box.
    For example if the user enters "Smi" I have a select list pop up which gives the user all options that begin with "Smi".
    I am able to achieve the popups but the interface is quite jerky and not terribly responsive I am trying to solve this by using a thread which starts and stops when new input is received but it is still not quite right.
    The program uses a Sorted TreeSet to hold the data (I thought this would give me a quick search time) and a simple interface at this stage.
    Any help would be fantastic
    Thanks in advance :P
