In the following code shows how to use RandomAccessFile.readUnsignedShort() method.
import java.io.*; /*from w w w . ja v a 2 s.co m*/ public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) { try { RandomAccessFile raf = new RandomAccessFile("c:/test.txt", "rw"); raf.writeUTF("Hello World from java2s.com"); // set the file pointer at 0 position raf.seek(0); // print the short System.out.println(raf.readUnsignedShort()); // set the file pointer at 7 position raf.seek(7); System.out.println(raf.readUnsignedShort()); raf.close(); } catch (IOException ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } }
