Answer 1

use this code, I used it to remove logs and System.out statements in java file. just change the matching and replacing string.

import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
import java.util.Scanner;

public class FileReplace {
    List lines = new ArrayList();
    String line = null;
    Scanner scan = null;

    public void doIt() {
        scan = new Scanner(System.in);

        while (true) {
            try {

                System.out
                        .println("enter qualified file name ex.D:\\shiv\\shiv android all\\Main work space\\Welcomescreen1.java");
                String path = scan.nextLine();
                File f1 = new File(path);
                FileReader fr = new FileReader(f1);
                BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);
                int i = 0;
                while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
                    if (line.contains("System.out")) {
                        line = line.replace("System.out", "//");
                    } else if (line.contains("Log.")) {
                        line = line.replace("Log", "//");
                    }

                    lines.add(i, line);
                    i++;
                }
                fr.close();
                br.close();

                FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(f1);
                BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(fw);
                for (int j = 0; j < lines.size(); j++) {
                    System.out.println(j + "." + lines.get(j));
                    out.append(lines.get(j));
                    out.newLine();
                }

                out.flush();
                out.close();

                System.out
                        .println("====================work done===================");

            } catch (Exception ex) {
                ex.printStackTrace();
            }

        }

    }

    public static void main(String args[]) {

        FileReplace fr = new FileReplace();

        fr.doIt();

    }
}
