File Copying FileReader FileWriter

We have seen earlier, clearly the style and basics of file copying in Java, with byte streams FileInputStream and FileOutputStream in "Semantics of File Copying" and the it&339;s drawbacks of file copying in "Performance drawbacks of file copying". Now let us do the same job but with character streams – FileReader and FileWriter. The same …

BufferedReader and BufferedWriter File Copy

Speed up Copying Reading and copying file to file is very slow with FileReader and FileWriter as for every byte read, the control should be shifted from the execution context area of source file to the destination file and back again to read the second byte. This is what you have done in Semantics of …

BufferedInputStream BufferedOutputStream

Using Buffers to Enhance the Performance Buffering of streams increases the performance to higher extents of few thousand times. For buffering, two streams exist in java.io package in byte streams category – BufferedInputStream and BufferedOutputStream. These high-level classes are subclasses of FilterInputStream and FilterOutputStream and their functionality is to increase the performance with buffer. These …

SequenceInputStream Java

SequenceInputStream Java is used to copy a number of source files to one destination file. Many input streams are concatenated and converted into a single stream and copied at a stretch to the destination file. Merging of multiple files can be done easily in Java using SequenceInputStream. SequenceInputStream is a good example to show that …

DataInputStream DataOutputStream File Copy

DataInputStream and DataOutputStream are high-level classes as they are the subclasses of FilterInputStream and FilterOutputStream. These streams' extra functionality is that they can read or write integers, doubles and lines at a time, instead of byte by byte. This increases the performance to some extent; instead of reading and writing byte by byte with FileInputStream …

File Copy Tutorial Java

File Copy Tutorial Java: File copying operation, in Java, can be done in 5 steps broadly. Open the source file in read mode (say, using FileInputStream constructor) Open the destination file in write mode (say, using FileOutputStream constructor) Read data from the source file (say, using read() method) Write data to the destination file (say, …

Keyboard Input Scanner Java

The Scanner class is placed in java.util package (not in java.io) to facilitate to take input for DS (Data structure) elements. The advantage of Scanner class is parsing is not required for keyboard input data which is required with DataInputStream (as in KeyboardReading1.java) and BufferedReader (as in KeyboardReading2.java). Scanner class can not only read from …
