Using Java and pdfBox to search a pdf for usd amounts

This is for something that could save me about 10 minutes at work, I am not getting paid for it. This is Java. Its been a while since I touched Java. I'm searching a PDF for just numbers that use USD currency form via pdfBox. This is a what the document looks a lot like.

If I used a a method like this......
public static void oneLine(Scanner sc){
while (sc.hasNextLine()) {
String line = sc.nextLine();
if(line.contains(" WI ")){
displayArea.append("\n"+line + "\n");
break;
}else{}
}
sc.close();
}
I would only get this for my output.

My desired out put would be just
55.50
Maybe even all the USD amounts like this
55.50
99.00
129.00
129.00
165.00
165.00
180.00
Okay a little bit more data about this document. I only need the data in these lines

Everything in the those lines can change EXCEPT under source where it says "WI" AND Under User where it says "me.ra777" People can mess up names like where you see "45Lisa, Jo.nes" and "Jo^hn Wi.ck"
Ultimately I still have more work to do after this. Where I need to add all the USD amounts and actually, still a little more where I divide them by 100; which, in this example I believe would give me 9.225 if I did my math right.....
I'm really hoping I can just change part of this code like here ....
if(line.contains(" WI ")){
So then I could at least get an output of only the lines I need and I could work a little on my own from there and try to figure the rest out on my own.

Solved it. In short I had two major methods ----> find() & getUSD(Final String)
find() Used
1. A for Loop
2. A while(String.astNextLine)
3. If line contains("WI" && ! linecontains "Software Version " )
4. varable rate = getUSD(String)
5. doSumMathStuffs'andComplainAboutWhyJavacan'tTellThisIsa#WithoutParseing
;;
6. print ("\n"+rate);
getUSD(Final String) used
1. If/else "Matcher m = Pattern.compile("-?\d+(\.\d+)").matcher(strings);"
2. while(m.find)
3 return m.group
4. There's Actualy some parseing and some other "transfer this variable tYpE to that TyPe " too

Based on the sparse description on what you want to do i would suggest:
Read the text from the image
Replace all spaces with a colon
String csvContent = imgData.replaceAll(" ",";");
save text to a csv file
open csv file with excel
The following example assumes that you have managed to retrieve the data which is then post-processed to provide the csv format. The contents are written to a file which you can just doubleclick to see that the data is split into columns as you requested.
String[] data = new String[] {
"BOWLING O M R W ECON 0s 45 6", //notice that your OCR software does not properly recognise the string here
"TABoult 4 0 3 0 925 M 2 3",
"JETED 6 0 = 4 O 0 0"
};
BufferedWriter writer = new BufferedWriter( new FileWriter( System.getProperty( "user.home" ) + System.getProperty( "file.separator" ) + "data.csv" ) );
for( String record : data ) {
writer.write( record.replaceAll( " ", ";" ) );
writer.write( "\n" );
}
writer.close();
Like i put in comment above, your OCR does not work correctly. I would suggest you take a look into JSOUP html parser to get the information and continue from there. Otherwise you will not be satisfied by the result.

I am trying to read this file so that I can append some of the values from this file to another file.
But firstly I am unable to read the values of the column TMAX which is 4th in the columns
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.util.Scanner;
public class first {
public static void main(String[] args)
{
// TODO Auto-generated method stub
String fileName="daily.txt";
File file = new File(fileName);
try{
Scanner inputStream = new Scanner(file);
while (inputStream.hasNext()){
String data = inputStream.next();
String[] values = data.split("\t");
System.out.println(values[4]);
}
inputStream.close();
}
catch(FileNotFoundException e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
When I use the above code the output looks like this
STID
STNM
TIME
TMAX
TMAXO
TMIN
TMINO
TAVG
TBAD
DMAX
DMAXO
DMIN
DMINO
DAVG
VDEF
DBAD
SMAX
SMAXO
SMIN
I want to get an output which displays the values of the specified column numbers.

You need to use nextLine instead of next to read the whole line. Also I ran your program and found out that your file is not truely splitted by tab that's why your split may not work. Fix these two things and then you are good to go.

Here's a sample method which achieves what you're looking for (not tested, but the concept is there). Essentially, you need to read by line, split the line into some sort of array or list, and then have 2d array. you can also replace split("\t") with splitting by white space in general.
public List<String> getByColumn(int col, File file)
{
List<ArrayList<String>> arrayOfArrays = null;
try {
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
InputStreamReader isr = new InputStreamReader(fis, "UTF-8");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(isr);
String line;
arrayOfArrays = new ArrayList<ArrayList<String>>();
while ( ( line = br.readLine() ) != null )
{
ArrayList<String> list = new ArrayList<String>(Arrays.asList(line.split("\t")));
arrayOfArrays.add(list);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
ArrayList<String> output = new ArrayList<String>();
//can use a foreach loop, or the below method.
//for (ArrayList<String> l : arrayOfArrays)
//{
// output.add(l.get(col));
//}
for ( int i = 1; i < arrayOfArrays.size(); i++ )
{
output.add(arrayOfArrays.get(i).get(col));
}
return output;
}

You should really use univocity-parsers for that - it will be way faster than your String.split and also helps a lot selecting the columns you want:
//configure the parser
TsvParserSettings parserSettings = new TsvParserSettings();
parserSettings.selectFields("TMAX" /*and others*/);
//then parse
TsvParser parser = new TsvParser(parserSettings);
List<String[]> parsedRows = parser.parseAll(new File("daily.txt"), "UTF-8");
Hope this helps.

use this code to parse the line
String[] values = data.trim().replaceAll(" +", " ").split(" ");

Print integer barcode with zebra in CPCL language

I have an java app and I'm trying to print code. Everything works fine until my data is an integer,only digits. The printing is made in another function like this :
byte[] configLabel = getConfigLabel();
printerConnection.write(configLabel);
private byte[] getConfigLabel() {
byte[] configLabel = null;
String str=inputbarcode.getText().toString();
String str2 = "link";
StringBuilder print = new StringBuilder("! UTILITIES\r\n");
print.append("IN-MILLIMETERS\r\n");
print.append("SETFF 15 2.5\r\n");
print.append("PRINT\r\n");
print.append("! 0 180 180 180 1\r\n");
print.append("CENTER\r\n");
print.append("BARCODE 128 1 1 50 0 20"+str.toString()+"\r\n");
print.append("T 0 3 0 80"+str.toString()+"\r\n");
print.append("T 0 3 0 100"+str2+"\r\n");
print.append("PRINT\r\n");
configLabel=String.valueOf(print).getBytes();
return configLabel;
}

Your code snippet shows missing separator between the barcode and text commands and the actual barcode or text content. Insert one space character at the end of the following strings in your code:
change "BARCODE 128 1 1 50 0 20" to "BARCODE 128 1 1 50 0 20 "
change to "T 0 3 0 80" to "T 0 3 0 80 "
change "T 0 3 0 100" to "T 0 3 0 100 "

I cannot get this code to line up underneath the headers

I have to get my output to line up beneath a heading. No matter what I do, I cannot get to line up. The item name is very long also, and the words end up wrapping to the next line when I open my outfile. Here is my current output:
8 items are currently available for purchase in Joan's Hardware Store.

outFile.println("----------Joan's Hardware Store-----------");
outFile.printf("itemID, itemName, pOrdered, pInStore, pSold, manufPrice, sellPrice");
for (int index = 0; index < nItems; index++)
{
outFile.printf("%n %-5s %-32s %d %d %d %.2f %.2f%n", items[index].itemID , items[index].itemName , items[index].numPord ,items[index].numCurrInSt , items[index].numPSold , items[index].manuprice , items[index].sellingprice);
}
outFile.println("Total number of items in store: " + getTotalOfStock());
outFile.println("Total inventory: $: " + getTotalDollarValueInStore());
} // end endOfDay
Thanks for any help! I have tried many things for hours!!

Basically, you need to format your header the same way you format your lines, for example...
System.out.println("----------Joan's Hardware Store-----------");
System.out.printf("%-6s %-32s %-8s %-8s %-5s %-10s %-8s%n", "itemID", "itemName", "pOrdered", "pInStore", "pSold", "manufPrice", "sellPrice");
System.out.printf("%-6s %-32s %-8d %-8d %-5d %-10.2f %-8.2f%n", "1111", "Dish Washer", 20, 20, 0, 250.50, 550.50);
Results in...
----------Joan's Hardware Store-----------
itemID itemName pOrdered pInStore pSold manufPrice sellPrice
1111 Dish Washer 20 20 0 250.50 550.50
