Counting number of paragraphs in text file using java
We can read paragraphs in a file by reading it in a string and then spilting based on "\r
" pattern. See the example below −
Example
Consider the following text file in the classpath.
test.txt
This is Line 1 This is Line 2 This is Line 3 This is Line 4 This is Line 5 This is Line 6 This is Line 7 This is Line 8 This is Line 9 This is Line 10
Tester.java
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileInputStream;
import java.io.IOException;
public class Tester {
public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {
FileUtil fileUtil = new FileUtil();
System.out.println("No. of paragraphs in file: " + fileUtil.getParaCount());
}
}
class FileUtil {
private static final String FILE_PATH = "data.txt";
public static int getParaCount() throws IOException {
File file = new File(FILE_PATH);
FileInputStream fileStream = new FileInputStream(file);
byte[] byteArray = new byte[(int)file.length()];
fileStream.read(byteArray);
String data = new String(byteArray);
String[] paragraphs = data.toString().split("\r
\r
");
return paragraphs.length;
}
}This will produce the following result −
Output
No. of paragraphs in file: 5
