hi, i will be developing a module wherein i will need to parse texts from a text file. i am just wondering which one is a better and more efficient way... is it uploading the text file first in the server and then proceed with parsing or should i just read the text file, store it in a stringbuffer and then parse the string. thanks. appreciate your comments on this.
java.lang.String is actually a char array wrapper same as StringBuffer is. So both of your methods will be almost same. To parse a text file (like huge server log file), if it possible, do not try to load the whole file into memory. That may crash the server. Most of the text file parser will just read one line, then parse one line. Hope that will help. J
