Week 8 File Input Output

This document discusses file input/output in Java. It explains that files can be used to permanently store data created in a program. The Scanner class can be used to read text files and the PrintWriter class can be used to write to text files. Examples show how to open a file using FileReader and Scanner to read from a file, and using PrintWriter to write to a file. When done processing a file, the Scanner or PrintWriter should be closed. Additional examples demonstrate reading integer data from a text file and writing a for loop to a file.

Week 8 File Input/Output

Files can be used to permanently store data created in a program.


Example of files are text editors, Java source codes and HTML
files. Use the Scanner class to read text files and the PrintWriter
class to create and write data to a text file. When you are done
processing a file, close the Scanner or Printwriter using the
close() method.
Here is an example.
FileReader reader = new FileReader(input.txt);
Scanner input = new Scanner(reader);
PrintWriter output = new PrintWriter(output.txt);
output.println(Java Programming);
output.println(C# Programming);
output.close();

Tutorial 1 : A program will read data from text file and print the output to console.
a.

b.
//this
import

Create the text file in notepad. Save with testIn.txt. Make sure the file is in the same folder

Writeand run the following code.


program will read data from text file and print the output to console.
java.util.*;
java.io.*;

public class ReadFromFile {


public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
double tot = 0;
int bil=0;
int num;
double average;
Scanner in = null;
in = new Scanner(new File("testIn.txt"));
// the same =>Scanner in = new Scanner(new File("testIn.txt"));
while (in.hasNext()) {
num = in.nextInt();
tot += num;
bil++;
}
average=tot/bil;
System.out.println("Total is " + tot);
System.out.println("Average is " + average);
in.close();
}
}

Example 2: Program to write data to a text file.


//this program will write data
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;

to a text file.

public class loopToFile {


public static void main(String[] args) throws
Exception {
int i;
PrintWriter output = null;
output = new PrintWriter(new
File("outTest2.txt"));
for(i=1;i<=10;i++){
output.print(i+ " ");//print to file
//S.O.P(i+ ); to your screen
}
output.close();
}

Lab Exercise: Write a program to accept user input of length in kilometer from console and
store it in a text file named KMData.txt. Read the text file and convert it to meter. Store the
new data in mdata.txt. Display the data in kilometer and meter at console (screen).
