Limit of String
Can any one tell me the size limit of String object? How much it can hold?

Code:
String myString = “text goes here”;

Since Java used 16 bits unicode, 1 char = 2 bytes. So the string size would be Integer.MAX_VALUE. But I'm wired there, because available memory can cause on it.

Actually you don't want to worried about the maximum length of a string. You always get a out of memory exception before you pass the maximum length of a string.

Thanks for your help.
Actually I am parsing a file and placing it into a String and want to know if it s a good idea to get it into String as OutOfMemory exception will create problems for me.

What kind of file it is. Can't you read line by line to your application, I hope a line wont be too long to give an exception on the length of a string.

Its a simple ASCII file but the lines are too big. I am not sure about the size but it varies with the file.

Surely, I am reading the file line by line in to String. Only thing that worries me is the line can be too much for the String. I might come up with an example to this.

Thanks.

Actually you can do more other things on this. Read the specific length of a line to a string. Later you can merge them. But actually it is not that much easy. Because after merging the strings it should gives the exact output. You have think about a logic your self.
