Using BufferedReader with a web form

Question

I am importing a fixed length txt file into our database from the web.
My process code looks like:
java.io.BufferedReader r=request.getReader();
java.io.BufferedReader br=new java.io.BufferedReader(r);
String currentRow = "";
StringBuffer fileBody=new StringBuffer(1000);
     while((currentRow=br.readLine().trim())!=null) {
          out.print(currentRow + "<BR>");
          br.close();
It works okay, but I also get all field names and extra info from the form that looks like this:
-----------------------------11955629961970272440171062340
Content-Disposition: form-data; name="file_body"; filename="opudiskMiniEMC.txt"
Content-Type: text/plain
How can I get just the content of the text file?
Thanks,
Evan

Answer 1

sounds like you are doing multipart POST ... you should get UploadBean or Jakarta Commons File Uploader which will process those out for you...
However, every field will start with a separator. The separator is defined at the top of the stream. After the separator is a newline and some header info and a blank line. After the blank line to the next separator is the data for that field. Such is the format of multipart/form-data.
