Regex Replacing Entire Text Rather Than Match

Feb 14, 2014

With the code below, I am trying to replace all regex matches for visa cards within a given text file.

My first test was with a text "new3.txt" exclusively containing the visa test card 4111111111111111. My objective was to replace the card with "xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx". This was successful.

However, when modifying the text file to include other characters and text before and after (ex: " qwerty 4111111111111111 adsf zxcv"), it gives mixed results. Although it successfully validates the match, it replaces the whole text in the file, rather than replacing solely the match.

When trying this search and replace with words (rather than a regex match), it does not have this behavior. What am I missing?

import java.io.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
public class BTest
{
//VISA Test
private final static String PATTERN = "(?s).*4[0-9]{12}(?:[0-9]{3})?.*";
public static void main(String args[])
{
try

[Code]...

Match RegEx Equivalent Of Contains?

Oct 4, 2014

In a code im writing I was curious as to instead of

contains(".")

I wanted to use

matches(" ") method instead but really having issues with the regex

I have tried //. as well as ^[.] but they give me errors.

I am just trying to match a period but was curious as to what the form was. I read a good amount of materials and seemed simple but getting errors.

Replacing String In Case Of Exact Match Only

Oct 15, 2014

I have 2 strings

String value ="/abc_12_1/abc234/abc/filename.txt";
String src="abc"
Sring tgt=xyz

Now I have to replace the string in variable value in case of exact match; I am trying to do the following :

if(value.contains(src)
{
value.replaceall(src,tgt);
 }

Now the problem here is it replaces all the occurrence of abc in the string value and I get the below output as :

value=""/xyz_12_1/xyz234/xyz/filename.txt";

However my requirement is only in the case the value exactly matches with source the replacement shd happen. I am expecting the output like this :

String value ="/abc_12_1/abc234/xyz/filename.txt";

Also the above code is in a function which will be called multiple times and the values will keep  on changing. However the target and source will remain the same always.

Match Validate User Input Via Regex Comparison?

Apr 19, 2014

I am trying to match validate user input via regex comparison. But i fail to do so.

The string that will be inserted will have the following pattern: "digit/s " and it can be repeated a random number of times.

The program will extend to characters in the future but for now i am struggling with digits.

i am using a StringBuilder to build the regex string. Or maybe i could use something else but so far i didn't make it.

So far i have this regex

Java Code: "(d+s+)+" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

The problem is that the newline character will interfere with the last number.

So if i enter

Java Code: "3 4 555" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- it will not match. And the regex will only see 3 4.

But if i enter

Java Code: "3 4 555 " mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- with an extra space at the end it works. Obviously that is not the desired case.

I did find a workaround, but i fear it is somewhat broken

I changed to

Java Code: "(d+s*)+" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

But in this case the pattern should see 3 4 5 5 5 as the regular expression. Am i correct?

I also tried some other variants but none of them worked:

Java Code: "d+(s+|*)" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

Or i could do something like

Java Code: "(d+s){" + i + "}" mh_sh_highlight_all('java');

- where i is the number of values i enter.

Am i on the right track here? What am i forgetting?

Reading Entire Integer Text File And Putting Inside Array?

Apr 5, 2014

I have an assignment on sorting, i kno i can get the sorting down but im having an issue with inputing the 512 ints in a file into an array. the instructor provided us with a file with 4 equal sets of ints. i tried to make my array of size [scan.nextInt()] and it cuts off the last 21 ints. and skips the first int. how can i get all of the integers in the text file into my array? this is what i have so far. if i hard code the array to size 50000 and then try to print the array it compiles but errors out when running it.

System.out.println("Please Enter text file in this format, XXXXX.txt :");
String file =fileName.nextLine();
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File(file));
int [] data = new int[scan.nextInt()]; <-------here it skips first int
int count= data.length;
for (int i=0; i<data.length-1;i++) {
data[i]=scan.nextInt();
}
System.out.print(Arrays.toString(data));

rst 4 ints in output are: 501, 257, 390, 478...., supposed to be 492,501,390....and last ints are: ....88, 83, 79, 0 and supposed to be :88 83 79 77 76 72 71 71 66 57 56 48 48 41 33 30 23 23 18 17 15 13 9....it replace last ints with 0. why ? and how do i fix this. attached it the text file

Methods Start Will Give Indexes Into Text Where Found Match Starts

Jun 29, 2014

public class Regextest {
public static void main(String a[]){
String stream = "ab34ef";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("d*")

[code]....

My question is: The methods start()will give the indexes into the text where the found match starts .d*, this means if a number found.index must be returned. Why doesn't it print 3? 12345

Another question: Why it prints 6?

0>a
.

.
5>f

What is this 6 in out put?

Search For A String In Large Text File Of 1 GB Size And Print Line When Match Found

Feb 18, 2014

I have a large text file of 1 GB size. I need to print the line when a matching word is found in a particular line. Below is the code I am using. But if there are many lines that has the matching word, it's taking lot of time. Any solution to print the lines much faster.

Scanner scanner = new Scanner(file);
while (scanner.hasNextLine()) {
String line = scanner.nextLine();
if(line.contains("xyz")) {
System.out.println(line);
}

Replacing Characters In Array?

Mar 7, 2014

Is that the only way to code the JOptionPane? Seems rather similar to Sys.out

--- Update ---

I had more than this, but post was deleted somehow and this was the gist of it:

for(i = 0 ; i < charArray.length; i++){
if(Character.isDigit(charArray(i))){
address.replace("6", "*");
address.replace("7", "*");

Is there a better way to scan a character array for digits and replace any number in the array with another character ("*") in this case? The array is the address, " 1234 Runner Road " .

Not Reading Entire File

Mar 29, 2014

I'm new to Java and have not been able to figure this out. I'm reading a text file that contains this:

110001 commercial 500000.00 101
110223 residential 100000.00 101
110020 commercial 1000000.00 107
110333 land 30000.00 105
110442 farm 200000.00 106
110421 land 40000.00 107
112352 residential 250000.00 110

The output goes to a text file and should look like this:

COMMERICAL

FARM
LAND
RESIDENTIAL

101 600000.00
105 30000.00
106 200000.00
107 1040000.00
110 250000.00

I'm creating the output file, but it only contains the categories and not the details below them. Cant seem to figure out why.

Java Code:

package propertylistings;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;

Replacing Old With New Values In Array

May 24, 2014

how to replace the values in my array with the results of my function factorial.

public static void main(String[] args) {
//this is my main function:
int[] array = {5,4,3,2,1};
int i = 0;
System.out.print("results: ");
for (i = 0; i < array.length; i++){
System.out.print(factorial(array[i]));

[code]....

So, what I'm trying to do is change the contents of the array "array" into their factorial value. So, they should be replaced with {120,24,6,2,1}. then add those using linear sum but that's a different story.

Java If-then-else RegEx

Mar 18, 2014

I need to create a regexp, that will do the following:

a,a,a,a,c - matches
c,a,a,a,a - matches
a,a,a,a,a - doesn't match

I will be using it in Java. In the place of 'a', can be 'b' - they are equal. Also, in the place there can be any other character. This is what i have came up with:

^(?=^(a|b)).*((a|b),){4}(?!(a|b))|(?!(a|b)).*(((a| b),*){4})$

It fails because it matches the 5 a's. I'm quite new to regexp, so I'm not aware of all the possibilities. It matches the 5 a's, because the first if fails, but the second does not. Maybe there is a simpler way to accomplish this? (Also why are the .* necessary in the middle?)

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Change Size Of Entire GUI?

Feb 4, 2015

I built a GUI and after testing it on various platforms I think I would like to make it bigger by a factor of 2.2 or so.

Is there an easy way to just enter the factor 2.2 and have the GUI change by that factor?

I have over 50 components in the GUI. Ideally each one would just enlarge by the factor including the fonts.

This was my first (and only so far) java program. I didn't know anything about layout managers. I used netbeans and it generated all the code.

Replacing And Checking Character In String?

Jul 24, 2014

so my task is to write a code which would ask user to input the year as integer and first three letters of the month with first being an upper case letter. Than the program would determine the number of days for given year and month.

Currently I have a brain crash on how to check, if the user has provided the month with first character being upper Case. If not, than the program would automatically correct the character. Problem starts at line 17.

import java.util.Scanner;

public class DaysOfMonth4_17 {
public static void main (String[] args) {
//Initiate scanner
Scanner input = new Scanner (System.in);
//Ask for year input and use is as INT
System.out.println("Enter the year");

DAO Based Application - Replacing Old Textfile

Apr 16, 2014

I'm currently trying to build a DAO based application where you use a text file as a data source. It have worked out well until I tried to delete lines from the file.

public void delete(DTOBil dtobil) {
try{
reader = Files.newBufferedReader(Paths.get("databilar.txt"),charset);
writer = Files.newBufferedWriter(Paths.get("temp.txt"), charset, StandardOpenOption.CREATE_NEW);
String line = null;
while((line = reader.readLine()) != null){

[Code] ....

I've managed to fill out the temp file with everything except the line I wanted to remove, but when I try to replace the original file with the temp file it won't work. It casts the error: "temp.txt -> databilar.txt".

I've also tried to use the renameTo method without any success...

Test If A Name Is Variable With Regex

Jun 11, 2014

I would like to test whether the first word in a line is is a valid var name (e.g sequence of letters, digits and "_", it may not start with a digit, if "_" is the first char it must be followed by a letter). I tried this simple code:

String namePattern = "_[a-zA-Z0-9]+";
String text = "__c";
Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile(namePattern);
Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(text);
"__c" is an illegal var name.

But it returns the string "_c", where it is supposed to return an empty matcher.

where am I wrong here?

Creating A Keylistener That Reacts Across The Entire Application?

Aug 13, 2014

make the keylistener "listen" across the entire application? Currently whenever I've used it I have always attached it to something else, like a JTextField or the like. However that doesn't work all that well if I for example want to close down the current JDialog by pressing escape, because no object that has the keylistener attached to it is currently focused.

When I searched around for the answer if found similar questions on stackoverflow, but those seemed to focus on listening globally, even when the application itself is not focused, which isn't quite what I want.

Here is a simple piece of code that I'm currently experimenting with:

import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.security.spec.InvalidKeySpecException;

[Code].....

It's supposed to simply create a frame and give me a message whenever I press the A or D buttons, as well as notify me whenever they are released. As of currently it obviously doesn't work because the keylistener hasn't been attached to anything, but that's also where I'm unsure of how to proceed.

Replacing Null Values Within Multidimensional Array

Feb 18, 2014

I have a file which contains certain positions ([a][b]) that require to be placed in a certain multi-dimensional array. For example I might have an array String[][] that is a size of 6x6 but only have values in positions [2][1] and [3][2]. Because it is important for me to maintain the given array size and also do certain actions with the given positions I cannot modify the size. In addition I need to count the surrounding neighbors each element has (including elements that are null). However because some of my further code cant process with null elements I need to remove all null elements with " " (blank).

I am not sure how this is done or if it's even possible. If it is not possible how can I do something as close as possible to my needs?
