int -> char -> String

Posted by Chin Loong on January 17, 2002 at 12:39 PM

this is a snippet of a code i used last time, a bit messy since i wrote it quite some time ago.. :p

							serviceHistory=new String("");
					        InputStream in=new FileInputStream(f);
				//	        out.write(new String("Service History :\n" + "Date : " + date.getText() + "\n").getBytes());
					        int b,count=0;
							char[] ch=new char[255];
					        while (true) 
					        {
					        	b = in.read();
								if (b == 10 || b == -1 || count == 255)
								{
									serviceHistory=serviceHistory.concat(new String(ch,0,count));
									if (count!=255)
										serviceHistory=serviceHistory.concat("\n");
									count=0;
									if(b == -1)
										break;
								}
					        	else 
								{
									ch[count]=(char)b;
									count++;
								}
					        }	
					        in.close();
