Need to read an .ini and .abook file line by line (both files contain texts)

[ollyworks]

Hi,

All I need to do is to make this Applet works. Assuming the Applet is signed (I already know how to sign an Applet).

 
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
import java.io.*;
 
	public class ContactImporter_V2 extends java.applet.Applet {
 
		public void paint(java.awt.Graphics contexteGraphique){
 
			String windows_login = windows_login = System.getProperty("user.name");
 
			String th_profile_path_1 = "C:\\Documents and Settings\\" + windows_login + "\\Application Data\\Thunderbird\\Profiles\\";
			String th_profile_path_2 = "C:\\Utilisateurs\\" + windows_login + "\\Appdata\\Roaming\\Thunderbird\\Profiles\\" ;
			String th_profile_path_3 = "C:\\Users\\" + windows_login + "\\Appdata\\Roaming\\Thunderbird\\Profiles\\";
 
			String th_profile_ini_1 = th_profile_path_1 + "profiles.ini";
			String th_profile_ini_2 = th_profile_path_2 + "profiles.ini";
			String th_profile_ini_3 = th_profile_path_3 + "profiles.ini";
 
			File fileHnd1 = new File(th_profile_ini_1);
			File fileHnd2 = new File(th_profile_ini_2);
			File fileHnd3 = new File(th_profile_ini_3);
 
			if( fileHnd1.canRead() )
			{
                                  // Read each line into the file
                                  // If line contains "Path=Profiles/" then
                                  // retrieve string that comes after "Path=Profiles/"
                                 
			}
			else if( fileHnd2.canRead() )
			{
                                  // Read each line into the file
                                  // If line contains "Path=Profiles/" then
                                  // retrieve string that comes after "Path=Profiles/"
			}
			else if( fileHnd3.canRead() )
			{
                                  // Read each line into the file
                                  // If line contains "Path=Profiles/" then
                                  // retrieve string that comes after "Path=Profiles/"
			}
		}
 
	}

Thx a lot for your help!

What do you mean by make it work?
What does it do now and what do you want it to do instead?

The above code is not understandable.But,I can give small suggestion for reading .ini file.

Generally .ini files contain key value pairs

Ex:test.ini
Name = Ramya
Place = Chennai

In java using Properties you can load the ini file and using getProperty() method u can retreive the value associated with the key.

Gothru the piece of code below
------------------------------
Properties p = new Properties();
p.load(new FileInputStream(new File("test.ini")));
System.out.println(p.getProperty("Place"));

Well, all I need to do is to get the content of a file which path may look like the paths below where "stephane" is the windows session username (I read somewhere that I can get this username using System.getProperty("user.name"); ):

C:\Documents and Settings\stephane\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\h93ya70s.default\abouk.mab

OR

C:\Utilisateurs\stephane\Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\h93ya70s.default\abouk.mab

OR

C:\Users\stephane\Appdata\Roaming\Thunderbird\Profiles\h93ya70s.default\abouk.mab

If there is a direct way to look for such a file and read its content it will be good!

Well, this is the Thunderbird address book and I'm coding an Applet allowing the user of my website to import their Thunderbird addresses book!
