at the moment I'm having a problem with writing a tool for my company. I have 384 XML files that i have to read and parse with a SAX Parser into txt files. What i got until now is the parsing of all XML-Files into one txt File, size 43 MB. With a BufferedReader and line.startsWith i want to extract all relevant information out of the textfile.
Edit: Done (So my Problem is how to solve this more efficiently. I'm having an idea (but unfortunately not in code as you might think) but i dont know if its possible: I want to iterate through a Directory, find the XML-File i want, then parse it and create a new txt File with the parsed content. If done for all 384 XML files i want the same thing for the 384 txt files, read them with a BufferedReader to get my relevant information. Its important to read them one at a time. Another Problem is the Directory path, its a bit complex: "C:\Users\xxx\Documents\Data\ProjectName\A1\1\1SLin\wanted.xml" for each file there is a own directory. The variable is A1, it reaches from A-P and 1-24. Alternatively I have all the relevant files with thir absolute path in an arraylist, so its also okay to iterate over this list if its easier.)
Edit: I came to a solution: Below contains the search directories method and a method to parse the xml Files of a List into the same directory with the same filename but another file extension
public List<File> searchFile(File dir, String find) {
File[] files = dir.listFiles();
List<File> matches = new ArrayList<File>();
if (files != null) {
for (int i = 0; i < files.length; i++) {
if (files[i].isDirectory()) {
matches.addAll(searchFile(files[i], find));
} else if (files[i].getName().equalsIgnoreCase(find)) {
matches.add(files[i]);
}
}
}
Collections.sort(matches);
return matches;
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
Import_Files im = new Import_Files();
File dir = new File("C:\\Users\\xxx\\Desktop\\MS-Daten\\");
String name = "snp_result_5815.xml";
List<File> matches = im.searchFile(dir, name);
System.out.println(matches);
for (int i=0; i<matches.size(); i++) {
String j = String.valueOf(i);
String xml_name = matches.get(i).getAbsolutePath();
File f = new File(matches.get(i).getAbsolutePath().replaceFirst(".xml", ".txt"));
System.setOut(new PrintStream(new FileOutputStream(f)));
System.out.println("\nstarting File: "+ i + "\n");
xml_parse myReader = new xml_parse(xml_name);
myReader.setContentHandler(new MyContentHandler());
myReader.setErrorHandler(new MyErrorHandler());
myReader.run();
}
}
