This is some code that I found to help with reading in a 2D Array, but the problem I am having is this will only work when reading a list of number structured like:
73
56
30
75
80
ect..
What I want is to be able to read multiple lines that are structured like this:
1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1
1,0,0,1,0,0,0,1,0,1
1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1,1,1
I just want to essentially import each line as an array, while structuring them like an array in the text file.
Everything I have read says to use scan.usedelimiter(","); but everywhere I try to use it the program throws straight to the catch that replies "Error converting number". If anyone can help I would greatly appreciate it. I also saw some information about using split for the buffered reader, but I don't know which would be better to use/why/how.
String filename = "res/test.txt"; // Finds the file you want to test.
try{
FileReader ConnectionToFile = new FileReader(filename);
BufferedReader read = new BufferedReader(ConnectionToFile);
Scanner scan = new Scanner(read);
int[][] Spaces = new int[10][10];
int counter = 0;
try{
while(scan.hasNext() && counter < 10)
{
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
counter = counter + 1;
for(int m = 0; m < 10; m++)
{
Spaces[i][m] = scan.nextInt();
}
}
}
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
//Prints out Arrays to the Console, (not needed in final)
System.out.println("Array" + (i + 1) + " is: " + Spaces[i][0] + ", " + Spaces[i][1] + ", " + Spaces[i][2] + ", " + Spaces[i][3] + ", " + Spaces[i][4] + ", " + Spaces[i][5] + ", " + Spaces[i][6]+ ", " + Spaces[i][7]+ ", " + Spaces[i][8]+ ", " + Spaces[i][9]);
}
}
catch(InputMismatchException e)
{
System.out.println("Error converting number");
}
scan.close();
read.close();
}
catch (IOException e)
{
System.out.println("IO-Error open/close of file" + filename);
}
}
I provide my code here.
public static int[][] readArray(String path) throws IOException {
//1,0,1,1,0,1,0,1,0,1
int[][] result = new int[3][10];
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(path));
String line = null;
Scanner scanner = null;
line = reader.readLine();
if(line == null) {
return result;
}
String pattern = createPattern(line);
int lineNumber = 0;
MatchResult temp = null;
while(line != null) {
scanner = new Scanner(line);
scanner.findInLine(pattern);
temp = scanner.match();
int count = temp.groupCount();
for(int i=1;i<=count;i++) {
result[lineNumber][i-1] = Integer.parseInt(temp.group(i));
}
lineNumber++;
scanner.close();
line = reader.readLine();
}
return result;
}
public static String createPattern(String line) {
char[] chars = line.toCharArray();
StringBuilder pattern = new StringBuilder();;
for(char c : chars) {
if(',' == c) {
pattern.append(',');
} else {
pattern.append("(\\d+)");
}
}
return pattern.toString();
}
The following piece of code snippet might be helpful. The basic idea is to read each line and parse out CSV. Please be advised that CSV parsing is generally hard and mostly requires specialized library (such as CSVReader). However, the issue in hand is relatively straightforward.
try {
String line = "";
int rowNumber = 0;
while(scan.hasNextLine()) {
line = scan.nextLine();
String[] elements = line.split(',');
int elementCount = 0;
for(String element : elements) {
int elementValue = Integer.parseInt(element);
spaces[rowNumber][elementCount] = elementValue;
elementCount++;
}
rowNumber++;
}
} // you know what goes afterwards
Since it is a file which is read line by line, read each line using a delimiter ",".
So Here you just create a new scanner object passing each line using delimter ","
Code looks like this, in first for loop
for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
Scanner newScan=new Scanner(scan.nextLine()).useDelimiter(",");
counter = counter + 1;
for(int m = 0; m < 10; m++)
{
Spaces[i][m] = newScan.nextInt();
}
}
Use the useDelimiter method in Scanner to set the delimiter to "," instead of the default space character.
As per the sample input given, if the next row in a 2D array begins in a new line, instead of using a ",", multiple delimiters have to be specified.
Example:
scan.useDelimiter(",|\\r\\n");
This sets the delimiter to both "," and carriage return + new line characters.
Why use a scanner for a file? You already have a BufferedReader:
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(filename);
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
Now you can read the file line by line. The tricky bit is you want an array of int
int[][] spaces = new int[10][10];
String line = null;
int row = 0;
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
String[] array = line.split(",");
for (int i = 0; i < array.length; i++)
{
spaces[row][i] = Integer.parseInt(array[i]);
}
row++;
}
The other approach is using a Scanner for the individual lines:
while ((line = reader.readLine()) != null)
{
Scanner s = new Scanner(line).useDelimiter(',');
int col = 0;
while (s.hasNextInt())
{
spaces[row][col] = s.nextInt();
col++;
}
row++;
}
The other thing worth noting is that you're using an int[10][10]; this requires you to know the length of the file in advance. A List<int[]> would remove this requirement.

I have a problem with my java program. I have to read lines from a file, the form of these lines is:
1#the^cat#the^dog#the^bird#^fish#bear
2#the^cat#the^dog#the^bird#^fish#bear
and print all, accept the "#" and "^" at textfields in my GUI. The "^" must appear in case there in not article. For exaple ^fish, i have to print it as ^fish but the^dog i have to print the dog.
As far i can read and print the lines in the textfields but i can't find a way to skip the "^" between the words.
Here is my code:
try {
FileReader file = new FileReader("C:\\Guide.txt");
BufferedReader BR = new BufferedReader(file);
boolean eof = false;
int i=0;
while (!eof) {
String line = BR.readLine();
if (line == null)
eof = true;
else {
i++;
System.out.println("Parsing line "+i+" <"+line+">");
String[] words = line.split("#");
if (words.length != 7) continue;
number=words[0];
onomastiki=words[1];
geniki=words[2];
aitiatiki=words[3];
klitiki=words[4];
genos=words[5];
Region=words[6];
E = new CityEntry(number,onomastiki,geniki,
aitiatiki,klitiki,
genos,Region);
Cities.add(E);
}
You can try something like this.
FileReader file = new FileReader("C:\\\\Users\\\\aq104e\\\\Desktop\\\\text");
BufferedReader BR = new BufferedReader(file);
boolean eof = false;
int i = 0;
while (!eof) {
String line = BR.readLine();
if (line == null)
eof = true;
else {
i++;
System.out.println("Parsing line " + i + " <" + line + ">");
String[] words = line.split("#");
for (int j = 0; j < words.length; j++) {
if(words[j].contains("^")) {
if(words[j].indexOf("^") == 0) {
// write your code here
//This is case for ^fish
}else {
// split using ^ and do further manipulations
}
}
}
}
}
Let me know if this works for you.
That is gonna work, but it is not best way)
foreach(String word : words){
if(word.contains"the"){
word.replace("^"," ");
}
}
I have the following code which counts and displays the number of times each word occurs in the whole text document.
try {
List<String> list = new ArrayList<String>();
int totalWords = 0;
int uniqueWords = 0;
File fr = new File("filename.txt");
Scanner sc = new Scanner(fr);
while (sc.hasNext()) {
String words = sc.next();
String[] space = words.split(" ");
for (int i = 0; i < space.length; i++) {
list.add(space[i]);
}
totalWords++;
}
System.out.println("Words with their frequency..");
Set<String> uniqueSet = new HashSet<String>(list);
for (String word : uniqueSet) {
System.out.println(word + ": " + Collections.frequency(list,word));
}
} catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("File not found");
}
Is it possible to modify this code to make it so it only counts each occurrence once per line rather than in the entire document?
One can read the contents per line and then apply logic per line to count the words:
File fr = new File("filename.txt");
FileReader fileReader = new FileReader(file);
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fileReader);
// Read the line in the file
String line = null;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
//Code to count the occurrences of the words
}
Yes. The Set data structure is very similar to the ArrayList, but with the key difference of having no duplicates.
So, just use a set instead.
In your while loop:
while (sc.hasNext()) {
String words = sc.next();
String[] space = words.split(" ");
//convert space arraylist -> set
Set<String> set = new HashSet<String>(Arrays.asList(space));
for (int i = 0; i < set.length; i++) {
list.add(set[i]);
}
totalWords++;
}
Rest of the code should remain the same.
I am reading a CSV file that looks like the following:
Red Blue Green
1st Y N
2nd Y Y N
3rd N Y
I want the output to be something like
1st Red Y
1st Blue N
2nd Red Y
2nd Blue Y
2nd Green N
3rd Red N
3rd Green Y
I am pulling in the colors row into an array, but I am not sure how to get my desired output. Below is my code so far:
public String readFile(File aFile) throws IOException {
StringBuilder contents = new StringBuilder();
ArrayList<String> topRow = new ArrayList<String>();
try {
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(aFile));
try {
String line = null;
while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
if(line.startsWith(",")) {
for (String retval: line.split(",")) {
topRow.add(retval);
//System.out.println(retval);
}
}
}
}
finally {
input.close();
}
}
catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return contents.toString();
}
The first row needs to be read and stored as array/list (I prefer array here, as it will be faster). Then subsequent rows needs to be parsed and stored, with the column name fetched from the first row, now stored as array.
In the code, I have directly written a String with line breaks, I suggest to use a List of String Array (of length 3), so that it can be used easily for any future action.
public String readFile(File aFile) throws IOException {
String data = "";
try {
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(aFile));
String line = null;
int cnt = 0;
String[] topRow = new String[0];
while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
if(cnt==0){
String[] l = line.split(",");
topRow = new String[l.length-1];
for(int i= 0; i<l.length-1; i++){
topRow[i] = l[i+1];
}
}
else{
String[] l = line.split(",");
for(int i= 1; i<Math.min(l.length, topRow.length+1); i++){
if(!l[i].equals("")){
String row = "";
row = l[0];
row = row + " " + topRow[i-1];
row = row + " " + l[i];
if(data.equals(""))data = row;
else data = data + "\n" + row;
}
}
}
cnt++;
}
}
catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
return data;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int charCount = 0;
int wordCount = 0;
int lineCount = 0;
String line;
try {
while( (line = in.readLine()) != null ) {
System.out.println(line);
lineCount++;
charCount += line.length();
String[] words = line.split("\\W");
wordCount += words.length;
}
System.out.println("charCount = " + charCount);
System.out.println("wordCount = " + wordCount);
System.out.println("lineCount = " + lineCount);
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Straight to the point: How do I exit the above while-loop? I've read on another question that readLine() returns null when there is no more line left to read, but how do I do that using Eclipse's console?
The only way I can manage to break the loop is to add in cases, such as
if(line.length() == 2 || line.equals("exit")))
break;
if you just want to read a line, why do you need while loop?
or if you want multiple inputs to be taken then you should specify how many inputs are to be taken in first readline();
otherwise i hope below code will resolve your issue :)
public class TestRandomArray {
public static void main(String[] args) {
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(System.in));
int charCount = 0;
int wordCount = 0;
int lineCount = 0;
try {
String line = in.readLine();
lineCount++;
charCount += line.length();
String[] words = line.split(" ");
wordCount += words.length;
System.out.println("charCount = " + charCount);
System.out.println("wordCount = " + wordCount);
System.out.println("lineCount = " + lineCount);
in.close();
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
I am trying to create a program in Java that reads from a file, extracts the first digit of every number, determines the frequencies of 0-9, and prints out the frequencies (in percentages) of the numbers 0 through 9. I already figured out how to read from my file ("lakes.txt");
FileReader fr = new FileReader ("lakes.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
//for loop that traverses each line of the file
int count = 0;
for (String s = br.readLine(); s!= null; s = br.readLine()) {
System.out.println(s); //print out every term
count++;
}
String [] nums;
nums = new String[count];
//close and reset file readers
fr.close();
fr = new FileReader ("lakes.txt");
br = new BufferedReader(fr);
//read each line of the file
count = 0;
for (String s = br.readLine(); s!= null; s = br.readLine()) {
nums[count] = s;
count++;
}
I am currently printing out every term just to make sure it is working.
Now I am trying to figure out how to extract the first digit from each term in my string array.
For example, the first number in the array is 15,917, and I want to extract 1. The second number is 8,090 and I want to extract 8.
How can I do this?
To extract the first number from a String
Get the first letter from the String
Parse (1) into a number
For example:
String firstLetter = Character.toString(s.charAt(0));//alternatively use s.substring(0,1)
int value = Integer.parseInt(firstLetter);
This would be placed inside the file reading loop, assuming each line of the file contains a numeric value (in other words, no further processing or error handling of the lines of the file is required).
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class TermReader {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileReader fr = new FileReader ("lakes.txt");
BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
int[] tally = new int[]{0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0};
int total = 0;
for (String s = br.readLine(); s!= null; s = br.readLine()) {
char[] digits = s.toCharArray();
for(char digit : digits) {
if( Character.isDigit(digit)) {
total++;
tally[Integer.parseInt(Character.toString(digit))]++;
break;
}
}
}
br.close();
for(int index = 0; index < 10; index++) {
double average = tally[index] == 0 ? 0.0 : (((double)tally[index]) / total) * 100;
System.out.println("[" + index + "][" + tally[index] + "][" + total + "][" + Math.round(average * 100.0) / 100.0 + "]");
}
}
}
