File Reading / Writing

Sep 9, 2014

I've looked at multiple sources and everyone is saying different stuff. Which one should I be using? FileWriter/FileReader, other people was saying PrintWriter, and one even said : "Formatter" which is the one I'm doubting mostly. My purposes for writing files is for like saving maps, saving high scores, etc.

Reading And Writing To A File

Jan 10, 2014

I have accountsData.txt file in my default package, this is the file it should be writing to and reading from.

There is an ATM class, which has the main in it. From here the program is supposed to work like an atm, you type in your account number and can withdraw or deposit. It is supposed to then write the changes to the file.

//Read from a file.
public void loadAccounts(String inputFileName) throws IOException
{
Scanner fin = new Scanner(new File(inputFileName));
// Variables to store the values.[/color]
int account = 0;
double balance = 0.0;

Reading A File / Sorting It And Displaying Its Content On Screen

Jan 19, 2014

I have a program that writes a user's input to a file.

The input consists of several loops. In each loop the user enters a student number, the student first name and last name and then several exam results. Each student has different number of exams, depend on the user input.

For instance, the input can be (explanations are in brackets but not in the actual file):

505 (student number)
efron (last name)
ben (first name)
3 (no. of exams)
88 (1st exam mark)
70 (2nd exam mark)

... and so on

I need to write a program that reads that file and writes it to the screen, but it needs to do it in ascending order according to the student number.

Leaving aside the format it will be displayed on the screen, my question is how should I sort the data by the student number?

I though about first reading each student as an array, but my problem is that each array contains different number of elements (depends on the number of exams) and also each array containד both strings (first and last names) and ints.

I/O / Streams :: Reading From And Writing To A File Then Read Again Including Data Written

Oct 11, 2014

I'm having a bit of trouble with using the Scanner and the Printwriter. I start with a file like this (1 = amount of Houses in the file)

1
FOR SALE:
Emmalaan 23
3051JC Rotterdam
7 rooms
buyprice 300000
energylevel C

The user gets (let's say for simplicity) 3 options:

1. Add a House to the file,
2. Get all Houses which fullfil requirements (price, FOR SALE / SOLD etc.) and
3. Close the application.

This is how I start:

Scanner sc = new Scanner (System.in);
while (!endLoop) {
System.out.println("Make a choice);
System.out.println("1) Add House");
System.out.println("2) Show Houses");
System.out.println("3) Exit");
int choice = sc.nextInt();

Then I have a switch for all of the three cases. I keep the scanner open, so Java can get the user input (house = for sale or sold, price = ... etc). If the user chose option 1, and all information needed is inputted and scanned, the House will be written to the file (which looks like what I typed above).

For this, I use try (PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("Makelaar.txt", false)))). This works perfectly (at least so it seems.)

If the user chose option 1, and all requirements are inputted and scanned, the Houses will be read (scanner) from the file and outputted. For this I use the same Scanner sc. This also works perfectly (so it seems atleast).

My problem is as follows: If a House has been added, I can only read the House(s) which were already in the file. Let's say I have added 2 houses, and there were from the start 3 houses. If option 2 is chosen, the first 3 houses will be scanned perfectly. An exception will be caught for the remaining 2 (just added) Houses. How can I solve this? I tried to close the Scanner, and reopening it, but apparently Java doesn't agree with this

Reading And Writing Files

Nov 11, 2014

public class Tester
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
Product p1 = new Product();
p1.loadFromFile("Monitor.pr");
System.out.println("Actual: " + p1.toString());
System.out.println("Expected: Product [id=12345, name=Monitor, description=A freakin great monitor!]");

p1.setId(11111);
p1.setName("another product");
p1.setDescription("Description of another product!");

[code]....

The expected output is what my program should be doing and the actual output is what it's doing instead. As you can see, my code works for the middle test. But I cannot understand why it won't load the first fileFor the second half, the id and the quantity are separated by a comma... I'm not really sure how to deal with that. As you can see, I tried using a delimiter, but it doesn't seem to be doing any good.

Reading Text File Into Object Array And Create Random Access File

Dec 9, 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]...

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

Sorting A Text File Alphabetically

Oct 13, 2014

So we have to create a code that reads in a file that has a huge list of words. Our code has to convert every word to all lower cases and then re-sort alphabetically. I was able to turn everything to lower case, but for the re-sorting I keep getting a null pointer exception on the line of the if statement.

import java.io.*;
public class readDict {
public static void main(String args[]) {

System.out.println("Opening the file...");

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?

Sorting A Text File With Strings And Numbers

Oct 16, 2014

how to sort my text file. So far I have been able to read the text file and print it back out, but I am unsure of how to go about sorting it. Must print the colors (in the order of the rainbow first) and if the colors are the same compare the size (bigger is more important)The values I have to sort are written as such in the text file:

blue 18
blue 10
red 27
yellow 4

public class Rainbow{
private String color;
private int size;
public Rainbow(String color, int size){
this.color = color;
this.size = size;

[code]....

I would know how to sort it if it was supposed to be alphabetical order or there were only numbers, but I can't seem to figure out how to sort it when there are strings and integers

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.
