Reading a file

[Padma Priya]

hi Everyone


In a text file i have the following text in one single line

"Past Due 0 to 89 Days Ago 4/7/2007" "Christine Connors" "[email protected]" "Laura Lerner" "[email protected]" "1385 - Workplace Harassment Prevention for Leaders (Online)"

I want to read only the names and the email id ommiting the "Past Due 0 to 89 Days Ago 4/7/2007" part.

Can anyone guide me in the problem

Thanks in advance
Deepthi

Hi Deepthi,

Read the complete line in to a string and then spit it using a regular expression.

Assuming <DOUBLE_QUOTE><SPACE><DOUBLE_QUOTE> as the delimiter between two fields, you can use something like this to get the email_id or any other field for that matter.

    
String line = <Line read from file>;
String [] tempArr= line.split("\" \"");
String emailId = tempArr[<required field index>];  // for email id use 2, since its the third field in your file.

Can you explain the format in more detail.
You can use a stream tokenized to getting token out of fileinputstream and then according to the format in which it has been stored , you can retrieve the name and e-mail id.
