text-files

I have txt file its content like this Hello World John play football I want to delete the new line character when reading this text file, but I don't know how it look like the file .txt and its encoding is utf-8 Just use file function with FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag. The file reads a whole file and returns an array contains all of the file lines. Each line contains new line character at their end as default, but we can enforce trimming by FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES flag. So it will be simply: $lines = file('file.txt', FILE_IGNORE_NEW_LINES); The result should be: var_dump($lines); array(5) { [0] =>

I created file with UTF-8 encoded content (using PHP fputcsv). When I open this file in Notepad++ - characters are wrong (Notepad++ starts with ANSI encoding). When I set Format->"Encode in UTF-8" from menu - everything is fine. Im worrying, that Notepad++ can recognize encoding somehow, and maybe something is wrong with my file created with fputcsv ? First byte or something? Chamila Chulatunga Automatically detecting an encoding is not something that can be done accurately. It's pretty much essential that the encoding be specified explicitly. It can be guessed in some cases, but even then not

I've got this macro code in Microsoft Office Word 2003 which reads the lines of a text file. The lines each represent a string value that I need to use later in the code. However, the first two lines of the text file contains some stuff that I don't need. How can I modify the code so that it skips the two first lines? The "Intellisense" within the VBA editor in Word sucks hard btw.. Anyway, the code looks something like this Dim sFileName As String Dim iFileNum As Integer Dim sBuf As String Dim Fields as String sFileName = "c:\fields.ini" ''//Does the file exist? If Len(Dir$(sFileName)) = 0

Is there a way to get the number of lines in a file without importing it? So far this is what I am doing myfiles <- list.files(pattern="*.dat") myfilesContent <- lapply(myfiles, read.delim, header=F, quote="\"") for (i in 1:length(myfiles)){ test[[i]] <- length(myfilesContent[[i]]$V1) } but is too time consuming since each file is quite big. If you: still want to avoid the system call that a system2("wc"… will cause are on BSD/Linux or OS X (I didn't test the following on Windows) don't mind a using a full filename path are comfortable using the inline package then the following should be

please give me a sample code for read/write text file in blackberry application. Maksym Gontar My code snippet for string read/write files: private String readTextFile(String fName) { String result = null; FileConnection fconn = null; DataInputStream is = null; try { fconn = (FileConnection) Connector.open(fName, Connector.READ_WRITE); is = fconn.openDataInputStream(); byte[] data = IOUtilities.streamToBytes(is); result = new String(data); } catch (IOException e) { System.out.println(e.getMessage()); } finally { try { if (null != is) is.close(); if (null != fconn) fconn.close(); } catch

I would like to copy certain lines of text from one text file to another. In my current script when I search for a string it copies everything afterwards, how can I copy just a certain part of the text? E.g. only copy lines when it has "tests/file/myword" in it? current code: #!/usr/bin/env python f = open('list1.txt') f1 = open('output.txt', 'a') doIHaveToCopyTheLine=False for line in f.readlines(): if 'tests/file/myword' in line: doIHaveToCopyTheLine=True if doIHaveToCopyTheLine: f1.write(line) f1.close() f.close() The oneliner: open("out1.txt", "w").writelines([l for l in open("in.txt")

I need a way to convert .doc or .docx extensions to .txt without installing anything. I also don't want to have to manually open Word to do this obviously. As long as it's running on auto. I was thinking that either Perl or VBA could do the trick, but I can't find anything online for either. Any suggestions?
