I have code that asks the user to input a log file name so it knows what file it is to parse and sort.
To be able to parse correctly, the FileSource.parseXML
reads a variable type of File
. So, the input String
needs to be converted to a File
. How would this be done?
import java.io.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Main
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
FileSource src;
File fd=null;
int rc = 0;
int count = 0;
Record rec;
//ask user what file to parse
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
System.out.println("Enter file name:");
String filename = input.nextLine();
//TODO turn filename into fd
//parse the records
src = FileSource.parseXML( fd );
//print out the number of records parsed
rc = src.getRecordCount();
System.out.println(rc);
//print out all records.
for( int i = 0; i < rc; i++)
{
rec = src.getRecord( i );
System.out.println( rec.toString());
} //end for loop
return;
}//end main method
}
