I am trying my hands on using RandomAccessFile. What I'm doing is trying to store messages in the file and try to get all messages from one pointer to another
//file is the RandomAccessFile
//newLine is just new line
How I'm Storing:
//I want to store a message per line
public void store(long idx, String message){
file.seek(idx);
file.write(message);
file.write(newLine)
}
This is how I fill the file:
void createDummy(String location) throws IOException {
Random r = new Random();
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
long l = i;
StringBuffer b = new StringBuffer();
for (int j = 0; j < 10; j++) {
b.append((char)r.nextInt(26)+65);
}
String str = b.toString();
store(l, str);
System.out.println("Stored "+str);
}
}
This was the output:
Stored BYOENDRWEBUVGIFR
Stored HNXRKZWPAZUYCUHN
Stored RPRRAXWRBFSRSHJD
Stored AGTJXZMCFXENBQOH
Stored QLWXLIBKRPELYHPR
Stored VBUOVQICIOOTOTYK
Stored HPDZRPUGIYAFBGJE
Stored ZGLAIXTBGVCLJAGC
Stored UZKUXCWGCIVJLMAF
Stored RIXZSEDXQPAVDWEK
Reading...how I'm reading:
//I want to retrieve all messages from "from" to "to"
public void retrieve(long from, long to){
long start = from;
file.seek(start);
while(start < to){
System.out.println(file.readLine());
start++;
file.seek(start);
}
}
Calling retrieve(3,9); gives the below output// Retrieve from 3 to 9;

I expected to retrieve the below but's that's not the case:
Read AGTJXZMCFXENBQOH Read QLWXLIBKRPELYHPR Read VBUOVQICIOOTOTYK Read HPDZRPUGIYAFBGJE Read ZGLAIXTBGVCLJAGC Read UZKUXCWGCIVJLMAF
Please what's wrong with my retrieve() function. Any feedback is appreciated. Thank you.
Two things :
What is your newLine exactly, it should be "\\n".
When you read that file in your while loop, you do not need to call
file.seek(start);
at all. Cause the cursor will automatically goes to the next line after
file.readLine();
