In certain scenarios such as unit testing, or for some application logics you might need to create temporary files.Creating a temporary fileThe File class in Java provides a method with name createTempFile(). This method accepts two String variables representing the prefix (starting name) and suffix(extension) of the temp file and a File object representing the directory (abstract path) at which you need to create the file.ExampleFollowing Java example creates a temporary file named exampleTempFile5387153267019244721.txt in the path D:/SampleDirectoryimport java.io.File; import java.io.IOException; public class TempararyFiles {    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {       String prefix = ...

The Console class is used to write/read data from the console (keyboard/screen) devices. It provides a readLine() method which reads a line from the key-board. You can get an object of the Console class using the console() method.Note − If you try to execute this program in a non-interactive environment like IDE it doesn’t work.ExampleFollowing Java program reads data from user using the Console class. Live Demoimport java.io.BufferedReader; import java.io.Console; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.InputStreamReader; class Student {    String name;    int age;    float percent;    boolean isLocal;    char grade;    Student(String name, int age, float percent, boolean isLocal, ...

Character Streams − These handle data in 16 bit Unicode. Using these you can read and write text data only.The Reader and Writer classes (abstract) are the super classes of all the character stream classes: classes that are used to read/write character streams. Following are the character array stream classes provided by Java −ReaderWriterBufferedReaderBufferedWriterCharacterArrayReaderCharacterArrayWriterStringReaderStringWriterFileReaderFileWriterInputStreamReaderInputStreamWriterFileReaderFileWriterExampleThe following Java program reads data from a particular file using FileReader and writes it to another, using FileWriter.import java.io.File; import java.io.FileReader; import java.io.FileWriter; import java.io.IOException; public class IOStreamsExample {    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {       //Creating FileReader object     ...

These handle data in bytes (8 bits) i.e., the byte stream classes read/write data of 8 bits. Using these you can store characters, videos, audios, images etc.The InputStream and OutputStream classes (abstract) are the super classes of all the input/output stream classes: classes that are used to read/write a stream of bytes. Following are the byte array stream classes provided by Java −InputStreamOutputStreamFIleInputStreamFileOutputStreamByteArrayInputStreamByteArrayOutputStreamObjectInputStreamObjectOutputStreamPipedInputStreamPipedOutputStreamFilteredInputStreamFilteredOutputStreamBufferedInputStreamBufferedOutputStreamDataInputStreamDataOutputStreamExampleFollowing Java program reads data from a particular file using FileInputStream and writes it to another, using FileOutputStream.import java.io.File; import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.IOException; public class IOStreamsExample {    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException { ...

The class named File of the java.io package represents a file or directory (path names) in the system. This class provides various methods to perform various operations on files/directories. The mkdir() method of this class creates a directory with the path represented by the current object. Creating directory hierarchy There are two main ways to create a directory hierarchy in Java − Using mkdirs() Method Using createDirectories() Method Let us look at these solutions one by one. Using mkdirs() Method To create a hierarchy of new directories you can using the method mkdirs() of the same class. This ... Read More

While you are trying to write data to a Stream using the BufferedWriter object, after invoking the write() method the data will be buffered initially, nothing will be printed.The flush() method is used to push the contents of the buffer to the underlying Stream.ExampleIn the following Java program, we are trying to print a line on the console (Standard Output Stream). Here we are invoking the write() method by passing the required String.import java.io.BufferedWriter; import java.io.IOException; import java.io.OutputStreamWriter; public class BufferedWriterExample {    public static void main(String args[]) throws IOException {       //Instantiating the OutputStreamWriter class     ...

The toString() method of the StringBuilder class reruns String value of the current object. To convert a StringBuilder to String value simple invoke the toString() method on it.Instantiate the StringBuilder class.Append data to it using the append() method.Convert the StringBuilder to string using the toString() method.ExampleIn the following Java program we are converting an array of Strings to a single String using the toString() method of the StringBuilder. Live Demopublic class StringToStringBuilder {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String strs[] = {"Arshad", "Althamas", "Johar", "Javed", "Raju", "Krishna" };       StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder(); ...

The append() method of the StringBuilder class accepts a String value and adds it to the current object.To convert a String value to StringBuilder object −Get the string value.Append the obtained string to the StringBuilder using the append() method.ExampleIn the following Java program, we are converting an array of Strings to a single StringBuilder object. Live Demopublic class StringToStringBuilder {    public static void main(String args[]) {       String strs[] = {"Arshad", "Althamas", "Johar", "Javed", "Raju", "Krishna" };       StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();       sb.append(strs[0]);       sb.append(" "+strs[1]);       sb.append(" ...

The stripStart() method of the org.apache.commons.lang.StringUtils class accepts two strings and removes the set of characters represented by the second string from the string of the first string.To remove leading zeros from a string using apache communal library −Add the following dependency to your pom.xml file    org.apache.commons    commons-lang3    3.9 Get the string.Pass the obtained string as first parameter and a string holding 0 as second parameter to the stripStart() method of the StringUtils class.ExampleThe following Java program reads an integer value from the user into a String and removes the leading zeroes from it using the stripStart() ...

The replaceAll() method of the String class accepts two strings representing a regular expression and a replacement String and replaces the matched values with given String.Following is the regular expression to match the leading zeros of a string −The ^0+(?!$)";To remove the leading zeros from a string pass this as first parameter and “” as second parameter.ExampleThe following Java program reads an integer value from the user into a String and removes the leading zeroes from it using the Regular expressions. Live Demoimport java.util.Scanner; public class LeadingZeroesRE {    public static String removeLeadingZeroes(String str) {       String strPattern ... Read More
