Question

I have a noob question.

My java project analyzes text files.

There are three ways that the data can appear:

1. Search-term-A: data-to-collect-A

2. data-to-collect-B,  search-term-B

3. data-to-collect-C@search-term-C

I manage to collect all relevant lines by finding the search term inside. I did this by implementing grep in my app.

But I don’t know how to extract the three data-to-collect parameters.

Thanks,
Andy.

Answer 1

i’m assuming you have following text in your.txt file

My First Line,My Second Line,My 3rd Line

Code is

String line="";
while ((line = bufferedReader.readLine()) != null) {
    String[] yourLinesOneByOne = line.split(",");
    String[] itemofLine = yourLinesOneByOne[0].split(" ");//within "Space" 
    //itemofLine[0] has "My"
    //itemofLine[1] has "First"
    //itemofLine[2] has "Line"

}
