Change Specific Lines In Text Inputted From A File
Nov 29, 2014
I can't seem to understand how to change certain line of text, inputted from a file. For this I really don't know where to begin. I have got the input from the file. But I want to change like very other line in the file. Can't seem to understand how this could be done. Is there away to access specific lines from the file and edit them? So far, i have this:
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class ChangeEveryOtherLine {
public static void main(String[] args){
//Constructing file object representing input file
File inputFile = new File("input.txt");
tab separated values, for different columns and these are the lines only I want method to read.Now suppose if any is there as below, or even enter
12-01-0113:26San Jose12.99DVD 12-12-3009:40Miami13.50Music 14-08-3010:20Arizona16.03Scientist 11-07-1009:10New York25.00ColdPlay 14-08-3010:20Arizona18.04MeetYou [new lines] 14-08-3010:20Arizona50.03Scientist 11-07-1009:30New York25.00ColdPlay //This line should not be read 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"));
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?
I am writing to a file coordinates of texts using PathIterator (Java Platform SE 7 ) saved as SVG format i defined the Font attributes using AttributedString (Java Platform SE 7 ) and TextLayout (Java Platform SE 8 ). It is saving to the file and working properly, but it is just writing as a single line of text where is my target is multiple lines of text, i began using LineBreakMeasurer (Java Platform SE 7 ) Class, but some text is removed plus i got single line of text only, where i face the problem that , How to determine the width to get multiple lines of text ? i tried to figure out from this exampleDrawing Multiple Lines of Text (The Java - Tutorials > 2D Graphics > Working with Text APIs) where is drawing multiple lines of text but i am using getBounds().getWidth() of TextLayout object the code i tried
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).
I know how to append text to a File using the true argument but I would like to be able to append to a certain line In the file.Basically I've made a simple html page with Image links to different sites. I'm trying to make an app that will take a new site as Input and append It to the html file before the </body> tags.
So basically, if a line in a text file contains a certain string, that specific line will be deleted. It should probably be similair to this method?
Java Code:
/** * Replace text. * @param replace * The text to replace. * @param replaceWith * The text to replace with. */ public static void replaceSelected(String replace, String replaceWith) { try { BufferedReader file = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("data/replacer.txt"));
In this code, I have to do a series of tasks to change a String using specialized codes that are inputted. The one that I am having trouble with is as follows:
MC-SLXD: Circulates the sub-string in position S with a length of L, rotate the string X characters over in the direction of D. All the arguments (S,L,X and D will be one character in length. The direction will be either L or R for Left or Right.Example: MC-332R/COMPUTER = COPUMTER.
I am somewhat of a java newbie (learned it awhile back and just getting back to programming some again.) I have a text file of data much larger than this, but here are the first ten rows and first 10 columns.
I can read and write all the data back out to files. But I am not sure about a few things.
First would it be best to use BufferedReader and OutputStream such as:
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException { BufferedReader bReader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader ("testdata.txt")); BufferedOutputStream bytesOut = new BufferedOutputStream(new FileOutputStream ("outfile.txt"));
Second, I was then going to initialize an array but I might have 30 or more columns of data, of which I might perform and output only 10 columns to my output.txt file so is this a good way?
Third, I only want to perform operations (such as average the data, convert units or multiply two columns together) on 10 of the 30 plus columns and print out results to output.txt file. For example, In testdata.txt file above, I want to skip first seven columns. I then want to take column 8 and multiply by 100 then divide by 3 and output result to output file. I want to do same for column 9. Column 10 I want to multiply by different number (by 3.5).
I am having trouble with reading specific lines from a text file in to a JTextArea. I want it to read only the first line of my text file and print it out in my JTextArea, however nothing is printing out.
BufferedReader a = null; try { a = new BufferedReader (new FileReader ("D:/FinalProjectFile.txt")); a.close(); } catch (IOException e) { // TODO Auto-generated catch block e.printStackTrace();
The basic gist is it's "A program that reads in a text file that uses a specific input format and uses it to produce a formatted report for output."
Specifically :"For this lab you will write a Java program that produces a simple formatted report. The program will prompt the user to enter a file name. This file must contain information in a specific format (detailed below). Each "block" of the file contains information for one player in a competition -- the name of the player followed by a number of different scores that that player achieved. The program should find each player's average score, median score and best and worst scores and display them in a line on the final summary report. The program should also determine which player has the highest average score and which player has the lowest average score."
I get the following errors when I try and compile it:
Enter an input file name: Project11.txt Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException... -1 at java.util.ArrayList.elementData(Unknown Source) at java.util.ArrayList.get(Unknown Source) at Project11.getMedian(Project11.java:68) at Project11.main(Project11.java:27)
I get that the error(s) reside in lines 68 and 27, among problem other areas, but I'm not exactly sure how I can fix them.
Here's my code:
import java.io.*; import java.util.*; public class Project11 { public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{ Scanner in = new Scanner(System.in); System.out.print("Enter an input file name: "); String input = in.nextLine();
- from the main class will arrive three variable (String name_used, int level_choose, int level_result)
I have a .txt file with this kind of formatting:
mario 1 1 0 1 0 1 carlo 0 0 0 1 1 0 ...
Where I use 1 and 0 in the main for write if the level (you see that the numbers are always sixr? are egual to six level existing) BEFORE is done correct or wrong
- when in the main a user make a level a feedback coming back from the class level saying if the user made the count correctly or wrong. and i wanna replace the value (1 or 0) in the txt file with the new level result.
So i have all what i need as parameters i think.
name_used to look for the correct line in .txt file with .indexOf level_choosed to go throught the correct index of that line level_result (1 or 2) to be replaced with the existing one
Java Code:
public void salvaRisultati(String name_used, int level_choosed, int result_of_level) throws FileNotFoundException{ } } mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
I have some problem to understand the way to make this:
In my main class a user can save his name in a txt file (and the system initially will add 6 value equals to 0) than he can choose between 6 level and make it.
example of .txt file data:
mario 0 0 0 0 0 0 carl 0 0 0 0 0 0
AT THIS MOMENT i just made other class and they work, is this new one that is hard for me. I'm trying to make a class that:
1- (first method called verificaRisultati) take name_used and level_choosed from the main and go to check in the .txt file if that level before was done right(1) or wrong(0)
and return something like "before you made this level properly" or "before you made this level incorrectly" AND THEN let the user start with the level.
2- (second method called salvaRisultati) at the end of the level i wanna pass the result (correct/incorrect) to another method of this class that will save the value (1 or 0) associated to the user in the right position.
This is the class that i'm writing:
Java Code:
import java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.FileNotFoundException; import java.io.FileReader; public class ResultUsers {
[Code] ....
I really need some hint and some code example because I'm stuck. How I can take exactly the line with the user name? How I can correctly split the line in an array and then read/modify the value for that level?
I am trying to make a java code that reads in lines of text and returns the number of spaces in each line.I think i have made it but i can not compile it..
Here is my code:
class Mainh { public static void main( String args[] ) { System.out.print( "#Enter text : " ); String text = BIO.getString(); while ( ! text.equals( "END" ) )
I'm currently learning Java and have been set an assignment that requires me to do the following:
Write an application that reads in a line length followed by individual lines containing text. No input line will be longer than the read in line length. In the text lines each word will be separated by a single space. The lines of text to be reformatted and then output so that the output lines of text have straight left and right margins. The last printing character in each line will be at character position (line length). In the text output the character '.' is to be used to represent the space character.
I'm trying to take this task on, but I'm unsure as to what exactly I'm supposed to do with part of it. For one of the methods I need to "work out how many extra spaces will need to be added to make the line width characters long.", how would I go about doing this?
I'm trying to get some text from a class but there are more then one classes with the same name and it gives me the text from all the classes... how do I get text from a specific class?
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.

I have a text file with the below details and we get the input as name CONNECTION_PORT and we need to delete the matching global variable which as CONNECTION_PORT and keep the remaining global variable in file without using any temp files.
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 newtext bye -------
I have these 2 methods that work as intended, but i just cannot seem to do what i've stated above.
Java Code: /** * @param location * Location of the .txt file. * @param text * The String to search for in the .txt file.
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.
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?
I've been working on a small text-based RPG for fun. This particular part is supposed to allow the user to change their name. Now, the problem is that when they reach the option to change their name, the above code seems to skip the line:
name = scan.nextLine();
It will erase whatever the player previously entered for their name, as well. So it will print out:
Okay, let's change your name. What did you say it was? Alright, so you'll go by . Is that correct? [now allows input for verifyNameChange]
The above code works fine on it's own, but somehow messes up when put into the full program. I don't want to post the whole program, because it's fairly large. But the String name is set and functions fine before this bit of code.
I am trying to write a code to remove comment lines from the input java file.
I am getting an error -Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException.
Whats wrong in the code. It is showing error- Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NullPointerException in- return new String(buffer),, and the word "String" everywhere present in the program.....
