Question

Here I’m trying to read a text file which contains only integers.in every line.For eg:

1 
2 

3 
1

I wrote the following code to read the text file. Code as shown below.

 package fileread;
 import java.io.*;

 public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
    // TODO code application logic here
    try{
        FileInputStream fstream=new FileInputStream("C:/Users/kiran/Desktop/text.txt");
        DataInputStream in=new DataInputStream (fstream);
        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
        String str;
        while((str=br.readLine())!=null){
            System.out.println(str);
        }
        in.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.err.println(e);
    }
}

}

Now I want to retrieve only those integers which repeated and display it to the user.
In this case i want to display “1”.

How can I implement this in Java??

package fileread;
import java.io.*;
import java.util.HashSet;
import java.util.Set;

public class Main {


public static void main(String[] args) {
    Set<String> uniqueLines = new HashSet<String>();
    Set<String> duplicatedLines = new HashSet<String>();
    try{
        FileInputStream fstream=new FileInputStream("C:/Users/kiran/Desktop/text.txt");
        DataInputStream in=new DataInputStream (fstream);
        BufferedReader br=new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(in));
        String str;
        while((str=br.readLine())!=null){
            if (uniqueLines.contains(str)) {
                if (!duplicatedLines.contains(str)) {
                    duplicatedLines.add(str);
                    System.out.println(str);
                }
            } else {
                uniqueLines.add(str);
            }
        }
        in.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e){
        System.err.println(e);
    }
}

}

Note: Make sure your input doesn’t have trailing whitespace on each line. Also, note that when the list gets long, this implementation is not particularly memory friendly.
