Writing Text To File - How To Append New Line

Jan 11, 2015

How to output text to a file, so I had to do my own research on google, but the results I found were confusing. I finally got my code to write to a file, but I cannot figure out how to append a new line. I know what part of the code is incorrect, but I don't know how to fix it. here is what I have right now:

import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.nio.file.Paths;
import java.util.Scanner;
 public class highscore {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {

[Code] ....

I can see the last two lines are telling the program to overwrite the first input with the second. Of course if I pick a different file name for the second output, I get another file with the second input, but I need to learn how to append as well.

Writing Current Time To Text File

May 29, 2014

I'm working on a project for class that asks me to record punch-in and punch-out times for employees. However, I am having difficulty figuring out where I am going wrong as none of the information will write to the text file in the ArrayList that I have created. The code is as follows:

import java.text.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.nio.file.*;
public class TimeClockApp {
// declare class variables
private static EmployeeDAO employeeDAO = null;

[Code] .....

I want to keep the coding as simple as possible as I am new to Java, and have spent hours upon hours trying to figure this all out. The console output looks like this:

Welcome to the Punch-In/Punch-Out Screen

Please choose an option below:

I. Punch In
O. Punch Out
Choice: i

PUNCH IN
--------
Enter Employee ID:
8
8Punch-In Date & Time: 2014/05/28 22:44:26
[]
Press enter to return to the main screen:

Read Text File Into Object Array And Creating Random Access File

Dec 8, 2014

I am working on a project that requires me to build a database with random access file, representing products, the base product contains a name (about 30 characters), a price (double), and a quantity (integer). I have worked on this project for probably 15+ hours and have tried so many things and feel like I've barley made any progress...

The part i am really struggling with is taking the data from the text file and creating an object array with it using the product class. Once ive accomplished that, i have to use that data to create a random access file with the data.

Here is the base Product class that must be used to create the objects for the array.

public class Product
{
public String pName;
public String stringName;
public double price;
public int quanity;

[Code] .....

And then here is the data from the text file that i must extract to use to create product objects.

Dill Seed,938,34
Mustard Seed,100,64
Coriander Powder,924,18
Turmeric,836,80
Cinnamon (Ground Korintje),951,10
Cinnamon (Ground) Xtra Hi Oil (2x),614,31
Cinnamon (Ground) High Oil (1X),682,19

These continue for about 40-50 entries, they are not separated by a blank line though i had to add those so it would display correctly, each entry is on its own line with name separated with spaces, then price after a comma, then quantity after the second comma.....

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?

Pickup Selected Text File And Read Line By Line And Output Text Into Visual Text Pane

Dec 12, 2014

I am checking how to do following task.

01. pickup the selected text file and read the line by line and output the text in to visual text pane.

what i did:.

01. I wrote code that read the text file and output in to jave console/ also some of the interface.

the code read txt file:

Java Code:

String fileName = "C:/Users/lakshan/Desktop/lawyer.txt";
File textFile = new File(fileName);
Scanner in = new Scanner (textFile);
while(in.hasNextLine()){

[code]....

so it will read any text file dynamically and output to the text pane in interface. I think scanner code must be execute after the select the file from the browser and set the scanned result in to variable. then later out put the var as string in some jswing component?

Writing A Method To Read A File

Jan 13, 2014

I was writing a method to read a file. I did not think it through and gave the return type as void and modifier as static but I am not sure if it has to be void. How do you decide the return type of the method? Is there a good rule of thumb in such cases? Also, does the use of static needs to be done sparingly?

Importing And Creating Objects From The Text Files?

May 25, 2014

I've been trying to write a program for some time now, but im encountering problems while trying to complete it. The program has a student class and a course class (set up with some info about the class, like #, professor name, course title, course time). Now, i have a text file in the workspace, and i have to import the data from the textfile, and thats just what i did, but then there is an option which allows the user to delete a course only by inputing the course number, and when he does that, the program outputs the course's name, and confirms the deletion of the course (From the student's record, i created a vector for that and imported all the courses from the text file). But how can i let the program know what's the name of the course when the user inputs the course number ???

When the data is read from the file, objects should be created and added to the student's course record. <- i think here's where i messed up ? i imported the data, but how can i actually make them objects before adding them into the vector ?

PHP Code:

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException
{
Scanner scan = new Scanner(System.in);
Vector Record = new Vector();
try {FileReader filereader = new FileReader("CLASSES.txt");
BufferedReader bufferedreader = new BufferedReader(filereader);
String test = "";
while(test != null)
{
Record.addElement(test);
test = bufferedreader.readLine();
} mh_sh_highlight_all('php');

Writing A Program To Dynamically Update XML File To Add

Feb 8, 2014

I'm writing a program to dynamically update an xml file to add, delete, and edit entries in the file. I've run into an issue with the add method because when I write into the file, a random letter is added before the line. EX:

I want to add "<item> ..." to the end of the list of entries, but when it is added, this is what is added "Z <item> ..."The spacing for the <item> is correct, however, I don't see where or why the Z is added.

public static void insertItem(Item i)
{
try {
String insert = " <item>";
String text = "";
Scanner in = new Scanner(file);
