retrieving data from a text file

[Bernard Sigmund Gustav]

hello everyone and merry christmas.

i hope someone can help me with this.
i have a scanner which outputs its data, delimited ba a space, to a text file.

i then need to retrieve those in the text file, and upload it to the database, using java.

what does java use to retrieve data from text files? i just need to get a headstart on this to keep me going.

thanks in advance for the help....

Check out BufferedReader and then associated classes. That will get you started reading text files.

Just elaborating a little.
Use java.io
for reading and writing onto files. There are lots of examples posted on net. but still check out the Sun's
tutorials. This will give u enough head start.

File fle = new File('C:\folder\filename');
BufferedReader fr = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String line1;
if ((line1 =fr.readLine())!=null)
{
   //process line1, i.e. write to DB
}

you may use java.io.LineNumberReader if u need track line numbers.

Merry X'mas~~~~
