I am new to java.I have a text file in the server(containing the account information of account holders).It is a long file without any delimiters between to separate different types of data namely account no:,name etc. .I have to download that file to the client and convert it into the format given below.

"
char AccNo[12];
char Name[18];
unsigned long AvailableBalance;
unsigned char AccType[5];
date LastCollectedDate;
unsigned char Reserve[21]; /*for size 64 */
"

How can I do that.Please help me by sending a sample code.

I think I can create a class having data variables
"
char AccNo[12];
char Name[18];
unsigned long AvailableBalance;
unsigned char AccType[5];
date LastCollectedDate;
unsigned char Reserve[21]; /*for size 64 */
"
I do not no how to proceed.Please help me.

No. Show us your code and we will help you correct it, but we are not going to do it for you.

Could be a problem if there really are no field delimiters. The fields must then be of fixed length - as he has indicated - particularly for the name.

Yet another "very urgent" request - why is it so?

What is NOT working? Could you explain a bit more. There are a lot of ways for a program to NOT work.
If you are having problems with the reading/writing, write a small standalone program to get your code to work.

I don't see any conversion code! Your code appears to just copy from input to output. Is that what your code is supposed to do?

What does "it doesn't work" mean?

Does it not compile? If not provide the complete compiler message.

Doe it throw an exception when you run it? If so, provide the complete stacktraces to the errors.

Does it do something you don't expect? If so, what, exactly, does it do, and why do you believe that to be unexpected.

Does it not do something that you want it to do? If so, describe exactly what it is was suppossed to do, and what it actually did.
