i am having problem in passing a String object path ;
taken from user in following way
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(path,append);
error is : (The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect)
but if i am using
FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("f.txt",append);
it works...
but i want filename from user... how to achieve this
class writeData
{
public String getName()
{
String name=null;
try
{
char c;
StringBuffer bf=new StringBuffer();
System.out.print("Enter the File Name:- ");
while((c=(char)System.in.read())!='\n')
{
bf.append(c);
}
name=bf.toString();
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error is:-"+e);
}
return name;
}
public void wfile(String name1)
{
try
{
String path ="D:/fname.txt";
boolean append = true;
FileWriter fw=new FileWriter(path); // its not working....
//FileWriter fw=new FileWriter("D:/fname.txt");
}
catch(Exception e)
{
System.out.println("Error is :- "+e);
}
}
}
public class bravo
{
public static void main(String args[])
{
writeData wd = new writeData();
String n = wd.getName();
wd.wfile(n);
}
}
Please use code tags.
Anyway your code works fine for me in this version.
But yes, you have problem with name1 (not with path): while reading file name you also read terminating '\r', so entering abc.txt you are trying to create abc.txt\r actually - this name is wrong. You can correct your code changing '\n' to '\r' - this is fast but wrong way. It's better to use another method of reading.
thanks.....
FileInputStream fstream = new FileInputStream("Emp.txt");
DataInputStream dstream = new DataInputStream(fstream);
BufferedReader bf = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(dstream));
String data = null;
String comma = ",";
while((data = bf.readLine()) != null)
> The DataInputStream in this stack is unnecessary.
it's actually erroneous (or at least counter productive) isn't it?
I mean doesn't DataInputStream do some funky charset conversion instead of dealing with plain UTF char's?
Probably doesn't matter as long as the @OP is only reading base ascii, but then I'm getting fussier about correctness as I get older ;-)
