Can any one please give me some sample code in the Execute method of the Action class or some direction as to how do I read the content of the Uploaded File. I am able to upload the file on the server but do not know how to read the content of that file.

Do we have to first save it on the server ? Or can we read it directly?

Please help !!!


Thanks and Regards
Damodar

Hi,

I assume that you are using FormFile class for the upload file control.

Here is the sample to read the data from that form component and convert that into String.

FormFile uploadFile = frm.getUploadFile();
int size = uploadFile.getFileSize();
char[] theChars = new char[size];
byte[] bytes = uploadFile.getFileData();

for (int i = 0; i < size;)
theChars[i] = (char)(bytes[i++]&0xff);

String fileContent = new String(theChars);

Hope this helps!

once you have upload the file to your desire location, use the org.apache.commons.io.FileUtils, take a look at the link below
http://commons.apache.org/io/apidocs/org/apache/commons/io/FileUtils.html
hope this would help you.

Hi Nirmal,

You can get the code for file uploading using struts very easily .Second think if i understand the problem correctly then you need to validate the email addresses while uploading the file right?

Then you need to put validation when you are reading file line by line for the uploading. Also show some efforts to code definitely some one will help you.

Regards
Jatan

Hi Jatan,

Thanks for the reply. I got the solution for file upload but the main thing i want to know is like how to validate if the file has the email addresses one after the new line. Once that is done, i need to get those email addresses in a Array.

Thanks for the suggestion. Please help in the above scenario if you can.

Thanks,
Nirmal

Hi Nirmal,

You can remove the new line from the file before you start processing for the email addresses and then you can store the emails in array and validate those email addresses.
