I am reading a constant stream of data coming from a device via Bluetooth. I'm wondering how I can convert this data to a string and print it out?  The buffer will contain an ASCII string but when I run it it prints out integers, i would like to be able to see the string.    while (true) {                 try {                     //read the data from socket stream                     if(mmInStream != null) {                        int input = mmInStream.read(buffer);                         System.out.println(input);                     }                     // Send the obtained bytes to the UI Activity                 } catch (IOException e) {                     //an exception here marks connection loss                     //send message to UI Activity                     break;                 }             }

If you have a java.io.InputStream object, how should you process that object and produce a String?    Suppose I have an InputStream that contains text data, and I want to convert it to a String, so for example I can write that to a log file.  What is the easiest way to take the InputStream and convert it to a String?  public String convertStreamToString(InputStream is) {     // ??? }

I just . Namely, the C++ function:  void returnCharPtr(char * someString, int n);   cannot return any CharPtr because the someString pointer is passed by value. Also, the intent of the author was clear:      So, another option is to pass the parameter as an argument, so you process your string in a function but don't create a new copy.   But as the change was rejected (3 vs 2) the post stayed in an incorrect state (IMHO).   I left a comment to the author. Can I argue with the editors' decision?

I need to stream a file from Salesforce in our webapplication. To make sure the file is properly opened, I have to set Content-Type header.  How to retrieve the Content-Type (MIME) of a file?  I expect values like: image/png, application/pdf, text/html etc.  How to get these values? I am using the Java and a SOAP client to retrieve the data.

What is the prefered method for creating a byte array from an input stream?   Here is my current solution with .NET 3.5.   Stream s; byte[] b;  using (BinaryReader br = new BinaryReader(s)) {     b = br.ReadBytes((int)s.Length); }   Is it still a better idea to read and write chunks of the stream?

Is there a way to format a UTC time into any arbitrary string format I want in java?  Basically I was thinking of having some class take the timestamp and I pass it is string telling it how I want it formated, and it returns the formatted string for me.  Is there a way to do this?

Someone told me it's more efficient to use StringBuffer to concatenate strings in Java than to use the + operator for Strings. What happens under the hood when you do that? What does StringBuffer do differently?

I have a file (called "number.txt") which I want to read to an array in Java. How exactly do I go ahead and do this? It is a straight-forward "1-dimensional" file, containing 100 numbers.  The problem is that I get an exception every time. Apparently it can't find it (I am sure its spelled correctly). When looking through code examples, it doesn't specify the file's entire file path, only the name of the file itself. How would I go about doing that if its necessary?  Also, when reading the file, will the array automatically contain all the lines of the file, or will I have to make a loop which which copies every line to corresponding subscript i?  I've heard of BufferedReader class, what it's purpose, and how does it corelate to reading input?

Hi I'm pretty new to Stack Overflow so I hope that I'm doing this correctly and that someone out there has the answer I need.  I'm currently coding a program in Java with Eclipse IDE an my question is this:  I need a snippet of code that does the following  It's supposed to get a .TXT file containing text and from that .TXT file  count the number of rows and print it,  count the number of words and print it,  count the number of characters and print it. And finally make a list of the top 10 words used and print that.  Allt the printing is done to system outprintln  I'm pretty new to Java and am having some difficulties.  Anyone out there who can provide me with these lines of code or that knows where i can find them? I want to study the code provided that's how I learn best=)  Thanks to all   Didnt find the edit button sorry...  I Added this to my question:  Hehe it´s an assignment but not a homework assignment ok i see well i could provide what i've done so far, i think im pretty close but it´s not working for me. Is there anything i have missed?  // Class    Tip   import java.io.*; import java.util.*;  class Tip {     public static void main(String [] args) throws Exception     {          String root = System.getProperty("user.dir");            InputStream is = new FileInputStream( root + "\\tip.txt" );         Scanner scan = new Scanner( is );          String tempString = "";         int lines = 0;         int words = 0;         Vector&lt;Integer&gt; wordLength = new Vector&lt;Integer&gt;();         int avarageWordLength = 0;          while(scan.hasNextLine() == true)         {                 tempString = scan.nextLine();                 lines++;         }          is.close();          is = new FileInputStream( root );         scan = new Scanner( is );          while(scan.hasNext() == true)         {                 tempString = scan.next();                 wordLength.add(tempString.length());                 words++;         }          for(Integer i : wordLength)         {                 avarageWordLength += i;         }         avarageWordLength /= wordLength.size();           System.out.println("Lines : " + lines);         System.out.println("Words : " + words);         System.out.println("Words Avarage Length : " + avarageWordLength);          is.close();          } }

I am looking for a way to convert a long string (from a dump), that represents hex values into a byte array.  I couldn't have phrased it better than the person that posted .  But to keep it original, I'll phrase it my own way: suppose I have a string "00A0BF" that I would like interpreted as the  byte[] {0x00,0xA0,0xBf}   what should I do?  I am a Java novice and ended up using BigInteger and watching out for leading hex zeros. But I think it is ugly and I am sure I am missing something simple.

I am getting the following error trying to read from a socket. I'm doing a readInt() on that InputStream, and I am getting this error. Perusing the documentation this suggests that the client part of the connection closed the connection. In this scenario, I am the server.  I have access to the client log files and it is not closing the connection, and in fact its log files suggest I am closing the connection. So does anybody have an idea why this is happening? What else to check for? Does this arise when there are local resources that are perhaps reaching thresholds?    I do note that I have the following line:  socket.setSoTimeout(10000);   just prior to the readInt(). There is a reason for this (long story), but just curious, are there circumstances under which this might lead to the indicated error? I have the server running in my IDE, and I happened to leave my IDE stuck on a breakpoint, and I then noticed the exact same errors begin appearing in my own logs in my IDE.  Anyway, just mentioning it, hopefully not a red herring. :-(

I have a string, lets say "123|ABC|test|12345|FF" and I want to xor the ascii value of each character and print the result in hex.  What is the simplest way?

I'm trying to convert an incoming sting of 1s and 0s from stdin into their respective binary values (where a string such as "11110111" would be converted to 0xF7). This seems pretty trivial but I don't want to reinvent the wheel so I'm wondering if there's anything in the C/C++ standard libs that can already perform such an operation?

I'm using this code to get standard output from an external program:  &gt;&gt;&gt; from subprocess import * &gt;&gt;&gt; command_stdout = Popen(['ls', '-l'], stdout=PIPE).communicate()[0]   The communicate() method returns an array of bytes:  &gt;&gt;&gt; command_stdout b'total 0\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2\n'   However, I'd like to work with the output as a normal Python string. So that I could print it like this:  &gt;&gt;&gt; print(command_stdout) -rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1 -rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2   I thought that's what the  method is for, but when I tried it, I got the same byte array again:  &gt;&gt;&gt; binascii.b2a_qp(command_stdout) b'total 0\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file1\n-rw-rw-r-- 1 thomas thomas 0 Mar  3 07:03 file2\n'   How do I convert the bytes value back to string? I mean, using the "batteries" instead of doing it manually. And I'd like it to be OK with Python&nbsp;3.

How does one parse an integer to string(char* || char[]) in C? Is there an equivalent to the Integer.parseInt(String) method from Java in C?
