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[]) {
try {
System.out.println("Opening the file...");
[Code] ....

I have a problem sorting this file alphabetically by second name. Basically, my method sorts each column alphabetically but i would like to sort the file according to the second name.
File:
Moe Carl
Saul Sergio
Rocky Louis
Ike Ziken
This is how my method sorts the file:
Ike Carl
Moe Louis
Rocky Sergio
Saul ziken
Instead
Moe Carl
Rocky Louis
Saul Sergio
Ike Ziken
Code :
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
class thedata implements Comparable
{
private String firstname;
private String secondname;
[Code] .....

I'm trying to create a method that takes a map and sorts it alphabetically. I think I have the logic correct but I'm getting errors when I run it:
private static void sortMapAlphabetically(
Map<String, String> termsAndDefinitions) {
Map<String, String> tempMap = new Map2<String, String>();

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

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 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?

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 have a database of peoples names linked up to a from to enter a new employee.The form has a previous and next button that should cycle through the employees alphabetically.What im doing the cycle by now is ID which isnt in alphabetical order and just goes by the order they where entered in.
Is there any way to cycle through alphabetically instead? Is running a query each time the next/previous button is pressed the correct way or should it just grab all the names in the array. Theres probably 150 names.

I am trying to read a text file into Java and split the text into tokens. Eventually I want to be able to count the number of instances of a specific word. However, at this point, when I run the file, all I get is the location of the file rather than the text in the file.
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
public class textTest3 {
/**
* Prints the number of words in a given file
*
* @param args
* @throws IOException

At the moment I am studying it and the problem is Taking a range of names in an array and outputting them alphabetically, But for some reason I get an outOfBoundsException. And its starting to get to me. How to put the code in
import java.util.Scanner;

public class lab241 {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Scanner kb= new Scanner(System.in);
String[ ] names = new String[4];
names[0]= ("Horatio");
names[1]= ("Anatoly");
names[3]= ("Evelyn");
names[4]= ("Anna");
Arrays.sort(names);

I have a project requiring me to build a program having a user input 3 words, sort them alphabetically and output the middle word. I have done some searching and seem to only come back with results for sorting 2 words. I so far have code to get the user input but I am completely lost as to how to sort them alphabetically.
import java.util.Scanner; //The Scanner is in the java.util package.
public class MiddleString {
public static void main(String [] args){
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in); //Create a Scanner object.
String str1, str2, str3;
System.out.println("Please enter three word words : "); //Prompt user to enter the three words

I'm having trouble with sorting Strings- 3 strings inputted by user, and I would like to output them in alphabetical order. I've used the str.compareToIgnoreCase method, and then I've tried to loop them through a series of if/ else statements. Everything I've been able to find online (including the forums here) has suggested to use the Comparator class, or to put the strings into an array, and sort list- I really would like to stick with just the String class, and its methods .
The program itself works and compiles, but I am getting logic errors that I have been unable to solve. I'm using IntelliJ Idea, and I've ran it through the built in debugger, about 100+ times (not exaggerating, lol) just to see what it's doing in particular scenarios. For instance, I can get c, a, b, to print out as a,b,c correctly, but a,b,c, will print out as b,a,c.
For me this is kind of like a Sudoku puzzle, or a Rubik's cube! Each time I fix one scenario, it breaks another one, so I don't know if there's a(logic) solution to fix all possible scenarios (abc, acb, bac etc... to all print abc) or if possibly I just need more if statements. I've only pasted in the area where I'm having problems (the if statements). I'm a big fan of the "Next Line" syntax.
(Note: please assume the non relevant content- import Scanner class, main method, etc... I didn't want to paste the entire program.)
System.out.println("Enter the first statement: ");
//input.nextLine();
string1 = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the second statement: ");
string2 = input.nextLine();
System.out.println("Enter the third statement: ");
string3 = input.nextLine();

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.....

New to programming. Am supposed to create a program that reads a text file (of integers) and computes a series of computations on these integers. I don't have the code for the integers in my code yet, (i know how to do those), but am struggling getting the array to simply print in the print writer. I have the user select a text file, read the file with a scanner, and then save the computations done from my code into another file. specifically, the problem is as follows: Write a program that uses a file chooser dialog to select a file containing some integers. The file contains an integer N followed by N integers. The program then uses a file chooser dialog to let the user specify the name and location of an output file to write results to.The data written to the output file will be as follows
(1) The original list of N numbers from the input file,
(2) The original list of N numbers printed in reverse order of how they appear
in the input file.
(3) The sum and average of these numbers,
(4) The minimum of all the numbers,
(5) The maximum of all the numbers.
[import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.io.PrintWriter;
import java.io.Writer;

Let's say I have a text file and in the text file exists file directories as such:
'assets/picture1.png'
'assets/picture2.png'
And so on...
How would I then read from this text file and then create those files using 'new File()'?
Here is my code:
private void getFiles() throws IOException{
files = new File[10];
Scanner scan = new Scanner(new File("files.dat"));
int count = -1;
[Code]....
It does print out those files, but it doesn't create them.
