Does File Uploading in Struts ignore Tab characters

[sravani jetty]

Hi,

I am uploading a Tab delimited file and I am using below code to get the file

FormFile file = (FormFile) loadManualLogForm.getFile();
File previewfile = new File(file.getFileName());
int fileSize = file.getFileSize();
			OutputStream baos = new FileOutputStream(previewfile);
			InputStream stream = file.getInputStream();
			if (fileSize < (1024000)) {
				byte[] buffer = new byte[8192];
				int bytes = 0;
				while ((bytes = stream.read(buffer, 0, 8192)) != -1) {
					baos.write(buffer, 0, bytes);					
				}
			}

And I am using below code to read the file and parse data

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
		String line;
		while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) 
		{	
			StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(line,"\t" ,true);
			System.out.println("string tokenizer length :"+st.countTokens());
                } 

String tokenizer length returns me one

The file I am uploading contains the below data

ABC DEF GHI 123 qwe

I have tab space between these columns.

When i break the string using String Tokenizer using "\t" it returns me the entire line without breaking it. I wrote a plain java class and tested this which works fine so I think is there any issue with FormFile in struts that just ignores tab spaces.

Any suggestions are much appreciated

Thanks

Check the request that's actually being sent (like with Firebug or a proxy etc.) -- I'm skeptical that the file contents would be modified by struts or commons-fileupload, but I suppose it's possible.
