Class FileUtil

java.lang.Object
  org.pf.file.FileUtil

public class FileUtil
extends java.lang.Object

This class provides helper methods for file and stream handling. It's an add-on to the java.io package. The service is implemented as a singleton, so use the FileUtil.current() method to get the sole instance.

                throws java.io.IOException

Copies all data from the iniput stream to the output stream using a buffer with the default size (1024 bytes). After all data is copied both streams will be closed !

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copyStream

public void copyStream(java.io.InputStream inStream,
                       java.io.OutputStream outStream,
                       int bufSize)
                throws java.io.IOException

Copies all data from the iniput stream to the output stream using a buffer of the given size in bytes. After all data is copied both streams will be closed !

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readTextFrom

public java.lang.String readTextFrom(java.io.InputStream inStream)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Reads the whole content of the given input stream and returns it as a string. The stream will be closed after calling this method. Even if an exception occured!

Parameters:

inStream - The input stream to read

Returns:

The text content of the given stream

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readTextFrom

public java.lang.String readTextFrom(java.lang.String filename)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Reads the whole content of the file with the given name and returns it as a string.

Parameters:

filename - The name of the text containing file

Throws:

java.io.IOException

readTextFrom

public java.lang.String readTextFrom(java.io.File file)
                              throws java.io.IOException

Reads the whole content of the specified file and returns it as a string.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

copyText

public void copyText(java.io.Reader reader,
                     java.io.StringWriter writer)
              throws java.io.IOException

Copies all text lines from the specified reader to the given writer. After that the reader will be closed. Even if an exception occurs.

Parameters:

reader - The reader which provides the text to copy

writer - The writer to which the text will be copied

Throws:

java.io.IOException

processTextLines

public void processTextLines(java.lang.String filename,
                             LineProcessor processor)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Reads all text lines from the file with the specified name and passes them one by one to the given line processor. The processing will be terminated, if the end of the text is reached or if the processor returns false.

Parameters:

filename - The name of the text file to read

processor - The processor that receives the lines from the text

Throws:

java.io.IOException

processTextLines

public void processTextLines(java.io.InputStream inStream,

                      throws java.io.IOException

Reads all text lines from the specified input stream and passes them one by one to the given line processor. The processing will be terminated, if the end of the text is reached or if the processor returns false.
The given input stream will be closed after the execution of this method. Even if an exception occured.

close

public boolean close(java.io.InputStream stream)

Close the given stream ignoring any exception. Returns true, if the stream was closed successfully, false otherwise

close

Close the given stream ignoring any exception. Returns true, if the stream was closed successfully, false otherwise

standardize

public java.lang.String standardize(java.lang.String filename)

Convert the filename to a canonical (see java.io.File.getCanonicalPath()) format and replace any backslashes '\' by slashes ('/'). If possible all "." and ".." elements in the path are eliminated.

Parameters:

filename - The filename which has to be standardized

Returns:

An absolute filename that uses slashes to separate its elements

javaFilename

public java.lang.String javaFilename(java.lang.String filename)

Returns the given filename in the platform independent way that Java understands. That is all elements are separated by a forward slash rather than back slashes as on Windows systems.

Parameters:

filename - The name to be modified
