Hi,
In the following Code: I am trying to configure a sleep or wait , Can anyone give me some HINT on how to do this ?
Thanks,
import java.io.BufferedReader;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
import java.io.FileReader;
import java.io.IOException;
public class ReadFile {
/**
* Fetch the entire contents of a text file, and return it in a
String.
* This style of implementation does not throw Exceptions to the caller.
*
* @param aFile is a file which already exists and can be read.
*/
static public String getContents(File aFile) {
//...checks on aFile are elided
StringBuffer contents = new StringBuffer();
//declared here only to make visible to finally clause
BufferedReader input = null;
try {
//use buffering
//this implementation reads one line at a time
input = new BufferedReader( new FileReader(aFile) );
String line = null; //not declared within while loop
while (( line = input.readLine()) != null){
contents.append(line);
//Trying to implement a configurable wait here
contents.append(System.getProperty("line.separator"));
}
}
catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
catch (IOException ex){
ex.printStackTrace();
}
finally {
try {
if (input!= null) {
//flush and close both "input" and its underlying FileReader
input.close();
}
}
catch (IOException ex) {
ex.printStackTrace();
}
}
return contents.toString();
}
public static void main ( String[] aArguments ) throws IOException {
File testFile = new File("checkpoint_20000_.txt");
getContents(testFile);
System.out.println( "File contents: " + getContents(testFile) );
}
}
