I'm coding in Java and I want to split my string. I want to split it at.
/* sort */
Yes I plan to split a .java file that I have read as a string so I need it to include "/* sort */". I'm creating a code that sorts Arrays that are predefined in java class file.
Exactly that and do another split at
}
and then I wanted help how to go about splitting up the array since I'll be left with
an example would be this
final static String[] ANIMALS = new String[] /* sort */ { "eland", "antelope", "hippopotamus"};
My goal would be to sort that Array inside a .java file and replace it. This is my current code
private void editFile() throws IOException {
//Loads the whole Text or java file into a String
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileChoice()))) {
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
String line = br.readLine();
while (line != null) {
sb.append(line);
sb.append(System.lineSeparator());
line = br.readLine();
}
everything = sb.toString();
}
arrayCutOff = everything.split("////* sort *////");
for(int i = 0; i < arrayCutOff.length; i++){
System.out.println(arrayCutOff[i]);
}
}
This basically reads the whole .txt or .java file completely with the exact same formatting into one string. I planned to split it at /* sort */ and sort the array inside but I realized if I did that I probably can't replace it.
Considered your're using java 8 you might go this direction:
private void editFile() throws IOException {
List<String> lines = Files.readAllLines(Paths.get(fileChoice()));
String content = lines.stream().collect(Collectors.joining(System.lineSeparator()));
Stream.of(content.split(Pattern.quote("/* sort */"))).forEach(System.out::println);
}
However, the trick you're asking for is Pattern.quote
, which dates back Java 5. It'll qoute a literal so it can be used as a literal in regExs and is a bit more convenient (and reliable I think) than wrestling around with backslashes...
