B&S: Problem -read field length in bytes

[Vaishali Paramane]

Hi
following is a code to read database.
I want to read field lenght.
right now i used hard coded.

Can anybody help me?

                        fieldsize = raf.readShort();//number of fields 

//Schema description section
for( int i = 0 ; i< fieldsize ; i++){
//name of field
skip=raf.readShort();
name = new byte[skip];    
raf.readFully(name);
fieldname = new String(name,"US-ASCII");    
System.out.println(" \t" +fieldname);
//length of field
[B]skip=raf.readShort();[/B]
 
                   //I have problem here I want to display this field size

}
     

short flag = raf.readShort(); 
System.out.println("byte flag " +flag);

I have edited your post because we do not allow such large amounts of code which can possibly tell how to read the datafile.

Now - what exactly to you expect? What is the result that you are getting that is confusing you?

//I have problem here I want to display this field size

Why don't you just print it out?

following is a code to read database.

It is for reading the schema.
Why you are reading a short value though it is byte?
