how to read a gsm file in java

Hi

I need to read a gsm file from a path and store it in a database.Is it possible to read and get a gsm file in a variable?

Thanks.

It is easy enough to read lots of different files, as long as you have access to the format they are in. I am sure you know it already, but there are reminders in the Java Tutorials. It depends whether it is text-based or binary; I am not familiar with gsm files myself.
For entering into a database, if you go through the JDBC forum, somebody said earlier this week you should create a .sql file and call that from the database for better performance.

I don't know of the gsm extension in particular, a Google says that there are three different types of files that have the same extension.

But no matter which file it is, there should be no problem in reading/writing it.

Thanks for your replies.I can able to read.But can i able to save a gsm file in a variable like String voice="hello.gsm" ?Is this possible?
Coz if i need to store it in database ,I need to keep the gsm file only in String variable.Isn't it?

You didn't say what kind of file this is, but I'm assuming that it is a binary file, not a text file. So you can't keep it in a string (unless you want to use base-64 encoding or some such), but instead you need to use a byte[]. The corresponding DB type would be a BLOB.
