Appending New Lines In A File

Jan 21, 2015

I have this part of the file.

class CreateFile implements ActionListener{ // MailOrderCreateFile.java
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae){
String getDestination = txtDestination.getText();
file = new File(getDestination); // needed for Creating and Displaying the file
currentTime = txtCurrentTime.getText();
try {
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(file);

[Code]...

What I wanted to do is that every time I press the button that will activate this part of the code, it will write to a .txt file defined in my txtDestination var (a JTextField). After the first time the file was created, it must append a new line every succeeding presses. However, everytime I do this, it just simply overwrites the contents of the .txt file. The example output would have been like this:

First time.

O R D E R D E T A I L S:

Item number: 10
Item price: $4.59
Quantity ordered: 12,321

I've tried createDetails.write but to no avail.

Appending String To A Text File In Java?

Apr 4, 2015

I am at a loss when it comes to appending Strings to a text file in Java. I was tasked (yes, homework) to complete a program that does the following simple things:

Print out the contents of a text file to the user (got that!)

Ask the user if the want to add any customers to this text file (got it!)

Add those customer's name's, addresses, postal codes and cities. (got that too)

Verify the postal code is in the proper format (yep!)

Add the new information to the text file, and display it to the user (Nope...)

The program is, essentially, supposed to keep track of the user's customers, and store this information to a text file. However, when I run the following code, I get a number of errors:

static String firstOutput, name, address, city, postalCode, file = "";
static int customer = 0;
static String fileLine = "";
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
file = "C:UsersOwnerDocumentsDiscountFly.txt";

[Code] .....

The errors I get are:

Java.io.exception. Main. Stream closed
ensureOpen (115)
ava.io.BufferedReader.readLine(BufferedReader.java:310)

I understand that the numbers correspond to lines of code (line 115, or 310, for example) but I am unsure of how to fix these errors.

I/O / Streams :: Appending To Existing File Instead Of Overwriting It

Jul 24, 2014

I do most of my file I/O with {Scanner} for input and {PrintWriter} for output. I've got lots of places in my code that looks like:

Scanner source = new Scanner( new File( sourceName));
PrintWriter dstntn = new PrintWriter( new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter( dstntnName)));

But when I call the constructor for {PrintWriter} up above, it overwrites whatever the original contents of the file designated by {dstntnName} were, doesn't it? Is there a way to call the constructor so that any future writes to it simply append to the original contents, instead of overwriting them?

Creating New Properties File Appending If It Exists

Feb 4, 2015

I'm currently working on a java project simply to learn java. So far, it creates a window and makes a properties file, or appends data to it if it already exists. The problem is that I'm not quite sure how to check if the file already exists to append data to it. I'm currently using a boolean (configCreated) that appends data when true, and creates a file when false. The problem is that this boolean is always false since it's at the beginning.

Java Code:

package Setup;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileOutputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.OutputStream;
import java.util.Properties;

Reading Pairs Of Lines From A File?

Jul 19, 2014

This what the data file looks like -

5165168416516988798484984984984984
9898798798798

1556516846516518498
51688484979789798798798491

The problem was to make code which will combine consecutive lines which contain some data into one line and print it. I made a solution that works.

import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.NoSuchElementException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class Filez {
public static void main(String[] args) {
File file = null;

Feb 6, 2015

Lets say this txt file contains 2 lines.

What would i have to do to insert a a piece of text in between hello and bye? I would like for the it to search for "hello", then add a line after it so it would look like :

-------
hello

I have these 2 methods that work as intended, but i just cannot seem to do what i've stated above.

Java Code: /**

Reading A File And Splitting Certain Lines Into Arrays

Jan 30, 2015

Me and my mate are struggling to get our code to split a line in a text file which are separated by (":") and store into an array. We've managed to split each individual line into an array, but cannot work out how to do it with multiple splits over one line.

try{
FileReader fr = new FileReader("C:UsersTomDocumentsNetBeansPro jectsfootballA2_Tom_Tyler2srcukackingsto nci5100football_a2 om_mcLean_tyler_wattsmo delfootball_teams_phase1a.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
while(br.ready()){
String nextLine = br.readLine();
String[] fTArray = nextLine.split(",");
System.out.println();
for(String str : fTArray) {
System.out.println(str);
}
}

This code works but how would we do it for multiple splits over one line, along with this array?

Code To Open Up TXT File And Display Only First Five Lines?

Apr 7, 2013

I am trying to write a java code for a homework problem in my intro java class but im having problems. This is the problem:

Write a program that open the MyFile.txt and read from a file with these criteria.

1)-The program should display the first five lines of the file’s contents only.

2)-If the file contains less than five lines, it should display the file’s entire content. You must check for end of file and less than 6 lines on the loop iterations.

3)- your program should use loop to read the line by line of the file MyFile.txt.

The serperate myfile.txt has this

I can still remember, at the end of that year, we sat for the last time in our circle together. She played us her favorite song, "like a bridge over troubled water" and quietly passed out a gift she had made for each of us.She had made each of us a pottery heart with our name and the date on it on the back each read "I believe in ME".We all cried including her. She told us she would always remember US. We believed she would.

and this is what the code is suppose to look like after you run it : Java33.png

And this is what i have so far : Java22.png

what needs to go next to complete the javascript to show the first 5 lines of the text files?

Not Reading All Lines While Comparing User Entered Name To The One That Exists In File?

Jan 21, 2014

Logic her eis when user selects option1, it asks for user to enter name and as soon as user enters name, it should compar name to existing names in txt file. I have user while loop and for loop but for some reason, it doesnt compare properly as there seems to be some mistake in looping and it just read first line or you can say single line rather than comparing it with all lines in txt file. i have attached votes.txt file with this. Also, if user doesnt exists infile, it will ask user to enter vote as yes or no and add it to file and then count total number of Yes and No votes from file and compare them.

my votes.txt file looks as below with two columns namely (name and vote).

Hiren No
samir yes
bob no
rikul no
master yes
patrick no
summer yes
bhanja no

Split Text File Lines Into Pieces And Put Them In Different Array Lists?

Mar 14, 2015

For example, if I had a text file with one line such as "first, second, third", would there be a way to make it so I could make "first" go to the first array list, "second" to the second, and "third" to the third?

I haven't posted any of my code so far as it wouldn't be right to be handed the finished code on a platter and I should put the work into it, but I'd just need a loop to make it go through the rest of the lines in the text file to add all the first, second and third parts of each line, right?

(I already know how to input data from a file, but not how to split up a line into bits to put into different array lists).

even this should not be read #$%^&
11-07-1009:20New York25.00ColdPlay

That particular line should be escaped. Till now I have done when the file format is proper, and it is as below:--
 
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedReader br = null;
String temp = null;
List<String> arrayRead = new ArrayList<String>();
try{
br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("D: estingSalesData.txt"));

How To Make A Text File Only Use Lines In A Text File Beginning With A Certain Letter

Mar 15, 2015

I have a program that reads lines of text, but some of the lines of text aren't applicable and break the program. I'd like to put a letter in front of the lines in the .txt file I want to use, such as a #.

I need to make an if loop that'll check for the first letter on the line being #, and use the line in the program if true and skip if false. I'm guessing a boolean variable would be useful here to be true or false depending on the presence of #, but I don't know how to only read the first letter of each line, how can I do this?

Print Array Output On Different Lines

Nov 19, 2014

I've to read in an array of 1000 random numbers, and then my program sorts them depending on whether the user chooses bubblesort, selectionsort, etc...My code all works fine, my problem is with the actually output display. I have method that displays the content of the array that I call for the unsorted array, and for the sorted array. So at the moment the output to the user looks like:This program sorts an array of numbers by your choosing.

Array before sorting:
148
626
817
4
312
652
643
134
etc... for 1000 numbers

----------------------
1. Bubble Sort
2. Selection Sort
3. Insertion Sort
4. Merge Sort
5. Quick Sort
----------------------

Please enter your sort choice: 4

Array after sorting:
1
3
4
4
5
6
6
7
etc... for 1000 numbers

is there a way that I can display the unsorted and sorted array's content on various lines like so:

150 312 149 31 392 384 66
498 909 35 602 568 897 131
654 645 274 264 895 281 462
244 171 958 649 740 351 344

I just think it'll look nicer if I can do it like that.My display method looks like this:

//method to display array
public static int[] displayArray(int[] array){
//display array
for (int i =0; i < array.length; i++)

[code]...
