3. 2GB file returning 0 length    coderanch.com

I am on a Sun, using JDK1.2.2. I am trying to list the files & sizes in a directory. When using tmpFile = File(fn) the length (long) len = tmpFile.length() comes back 0 on the 2GB+ file. (It works correctly on a SGI!?) Also, the tmpFile.isFile comes back false on Sun, true on SGI ?! Also, at Sun command line: file ...

Everything works correct but when I have a stream of more than 1460 bytes the characters after byte 1460 are replaced by a square 0 !?! Does anybody have a clue ? Here is my code :// Creates socket and streams try { clientSocket = new ...

7. Record length desription    coderanch.com

I've to provide a file for another company's application. That requires that the file consists of records of 80 positions long, and restricts the acceptable character values to those between hexa-values 20 and 5D. In my first test I used \n characters to divide my file into records. But their application rejects those \n characters. So I'm looking for another way ...

8. puzzled in args.length    coderanch.com

Welcome to JavaRanch. That is a check whether there were any parameters passed in from the command line. Those would be in the "args" array, and "length" returns the number of elements in an array. I would comment further on what it might do specifically in this code, but since "path" is not declared in this excerpt, it's hard to tell. ...

9. File length    coderanch.com

Depends on what you see as "counting". Does it go through the entire file and count bytes that way? No. Does it ask the file system what the file size is? Yes. Keep in mind that the length() is returned as a long for a reason. An int can go up to 2^31 - 1 which is one byte shy of ...





10. What is the ideal length of a Java File?    forums.oracle.com

nonsense, these days. that's a throwback to when everyone was compiling on terminals, where 80 chars was the width of the terminal screen. we had that mandated in our coding standards where I used to work. first time I did a compile-onsite, I found out why. but it's irrelevant now` It's not totally irrelevant. (Ok, it's not relevant at all to ...

12. File.length() always returns 0    forums.oracle.com

As I said: "My first plan of approach was simply to use the File.exists() method. However, this always returned true." I tried using the exists() method. However, the result was never false, and checking the directory, once the declaration of the File object had executed, there was a file there (whose size was 0 bytes). You also misunderstood what I meant ...

15. file length question...    forums.oracle.com

More stupid questions... I don't need to set a length for reading? How does it know when the end of a record is? I already have it set up as a Vector, as it was from a previous project. When I read the ObjectInputString(fileName), it knows it's a Vector, and I just throw it into the Vector then? Sounds too easy, ...
