Hi All

Retrieve the content of that text file,
Remove the desired lines,
and save it again.
Thxs for reply
I am new in java.Can you give me more details.here is code.
So can you give me more about that..Code:try {
String str ="xeee.txt";
File f = new File(str);
if(f.exists()){
BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter("xeee.txt",true));
if(ADDSERVER.getText().equals("")){
ADDSERVER.requestFocus();
}
else{
out.write(ADDSERVER.getText());
if(f.canWrite()){
// text.setText("");
ADDSERVER.setText("");
out.newLine();
//area.append("\n");
// text.requestFocus();
}
else{
}
out.close();
}
}
else{
text.setText("");
//text.requestFocus();
}
}
catch(Exception x){
x.printStackTrace();
}
That kind of problem needs a sample input and expected output to be analyze... not the code.
Here is an algo,
Since removing such line is the goal,
Use Scanner class....
in every line that will be encountered, save it on an array(I prefer to use ArrayList for this)
When removing such text on that specific line,
use remove(int index) method.
Example:
If you have choosen to remove the 7th line,
remove(6);
Since the offset of the ArrayList is zero, you have to subtract the prefered line by one.
Then save them all again using FileWriter.
Code:FileWriter fw = new FileWriter("text.txt");
int x=0;
while(x<=arraylist.size()){
fw.append(arraylist.get(x));
x++;
}
fw.close();
ok can you give some code of delete the item...
first you try to your self then you ask for code..
Can you give me some code becouse i am not getting
Hey, as mentioned above, first you try and show us what you've done. You know, the more effort you show, often the more help you receive here.Quote:
