In Java, is there a way of reading a file (text file) in a way that it would only read one character at a time, rather than String by String. This is for the purpose of an extremely basic lexical analyzer, so you can understand why I'd want such a method. Thank you.
Here's a sample code for reading / writing one character at a time
public class CopyCharacters {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
FileReader inputStream = null;
FileWriter outputStream = null;
try {
inputStream = new FileReader("xanadu.txt");
outputStream = new FileWriter("characteroutput.txt");
int c;
while ((c = inputStream.read()) != -1) {
outputStream.write(c);
}
} finally {
if (inputStream != null) {
inputStream.close();
}
if (outputStream != null) {
outputStream.close();
}
}
}
}
Note, this answer was updated to copy the sample code from the Ref link, but I see this is essentially the same answer given below.

You can use the read method from the InputStreamReader class which reads one character from the stream and returns -1 when it reaches the end of the stream
public static void processFile(File file) throws IOException {
try (InputStream in = new FileInputStream(file);
Reader reader = new InputStreamReader(in)) {
int c;
while ((c = reader.read()) != -1) {
processChar((char) c); // this method will do whatever you want
}
}
}
你可以在内存中读取整个文件(如果它不是很大)作为字符串,并逐个字符地迭代字符串
There are several possible solutions. Generally you can use any Reader
from java.io
package for reading characters, eg:
// Read from file
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.txt"));
// Read from sting
BufferedReader reader = new BufferedReader(new StringReader("Some text"));
