Help on reading and writing into the same CSV File

[Veron_4]

Hi, could I have some help on this J2ME application. I am trying to read a CSV file and then write into it by either editing a line or inserting a new line.
This is my current test code.

FileConnection filecon =
(FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///root1/test.csv",Connector.READ_WRITE);

if(!filecon.exists()) {
filecon.create();
}
OutputStream os = filecon.openOutputStream();
PrintStream output=new PrintStream(os);
output.println("This is a test" + "," + "file");
os.close();



However, I noticed that when I run my J2ME application, a new temp folder is being created each time so a new test.csv is being created each time. This way, I am not being able to access the test.csv file I had put in the root folder which is here: "j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\temp.DefaultColorPhone116\filesystem\root1"

Please help me, thanks a lot in advance

your path looks suspecting what is temp. I never found it any files system both in WTK 2.5 and netbeans 5.5.1

"j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\temp.DefaultColorPhone116\filesystem\root1"

I found this

"appdb\DefaultColorPhone\filesystem\root1"

Hi, thanks for trying to help. In the j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb folder, a new "temp.DefaultColorPhoneXXX" folder is created. XXX refers to a number which increases by 1 each time I run the application

So a new 'test/csv' file is created in the
"j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\temp.DefaultColorPhone116\filesystem\root1"
folder instead of looking at the
"j2mewtk\2.5.2\appdb\DefaultColorPhone\filesystem\root1"
folder where the original CSV file is located.

You won't be able to see the temp folder in your PC as it's only created during runtime

Ok it well I used the 2.5.2 earlier but never found such issues my luck afaik its buggy u must try for final release i.e. 2.5 only and try one thing more place any file in your filesystem manually and try to access it through your code if you succed in it then try for writing it

I did try to manually create the csv file and access it. But problem is that it keeps creating a new one

[ingsaurabh]

FileConnection fc = null;
            InputStream ips = null;
            try
            {
                String songTitle = theFile.substring(theFile.lastIndexOf('/')+1,theFile.lastIndexOf('.'));
                fields2[1].setText(songTitle.toUpperCase());
                fields2[1].invalidating();
                titleText = songTitle;
                saved = true;
                fc = (FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///" + theFile , Connector.READ_WRITE);
                ips = fc.openInputStream();
                ByteArrayOutputStream byteArrayOutputStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream();
                byte[] buffer = new byte[(int)fc.fileSize()];
                while (true)
                {
                    int bytesRead = ips.read( buffer, 0, buffer.length );
                    if (bytesRead == -1)
                        break;
                    byteArrayOutputStream.write( buffer, 0, bytesRead );
                }
                byteArrayOutputStream.flush();
                byte[] result = byteArrayOutputStream.toByteArray();
                byteArrayOutputStream.close();
                String resultString = new String(result); 

try this code please edit it some its long code I gave you only reading the file try this

[Veron_4]

I tried that, it does the same thing. A new temporary folder is being created instead of looking for the file I have.

[ingsaurabh]

then I suspect its your toolkit problem change it and gave a try

[Veron_4]

Sorry, still not working.. Everytime I startup the application, it automatically goes into the storage root and creates a new temp folder.

Is there any way, I can change this?

k try this ,this is my last resort otherwise I cant figure out what the problem is

FileConnection filecon =
(FileConnection)Connector.open("file:///root1/test/test.csv",Connector.READ_WRITE);

if(!filecon.exists()) {
filecon.create();
}
else
{
filecon.delete();
filecon.create();
}
OutputStream os = filecon.openOutputStream();
PrintStream output=new PrintStream(os);
output.println("This is a test" + "," + "file");
os.close(); 

and create test folder in your root1 directory
