java replace specific string in textfile

问题:

I've got a text file called log.txt It's got the following data

1,,Mon May 05 00:05:45 WST 2014,textFiles/a.txt,images/download.jpg
2,,Mon May 05 00:05:45 WST 2014,textFiles/a.txt,images/download.jpg

the numbers before the first comma are indexes that specify each item.

what I want to do is read the file then replace one part of the string(e.g. textFiles/a.txt) in a given line with another value(e.g. something/bob.txt).

this is what i have so far

    File log= new File("log.txt");
                    String search = "1,,Mon May 05 00:05:45 WST 2014,textFiles/a.txt,images/download.jpg;
                    //file reading
                    FileReader fr = new FileReader(log);
                    String s;
                    try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr)) {

                        while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
                            if (s.equals(search)) {
                                //not sure what to do here
                            }
                        }
                    }

回答1:

One approach would be to use String.replaceAll():

File log= new File("log.txt");
String search = "textFiles/a\\.txt";  // <- changed to work with String.replaceAll()
String replacement = "something/bob.txt";
//file reading
FileReader fr = new FileReader(log);
String s;
try {
    BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

    while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
        s.replaceAll(search, replacement);
        // do something with the resulting line
    }
}

You could also use regular expressions, or String.indexOf() to find where in a line your search string appears.

You could create a string of total file content and replace all the occurrence in the string and write to that file again.

You could something like this:

File log= new File("log.txt");
String search = "textFiles/a.txt";
String replace = "replaceText/b.txt";

try{
    FileReader fr = new FileReader(log);
    String s;
    String totalStr = "";
    try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr)) {

        while ((s = br.readLine()) != null) {
            totalStr += s;
        }
        totalStr = totalStr.replaceAll(search, replace);
        FileWriter fw = new FileWriter(log);
    fw.write(totalStr);
    fw.close();
    }
}catch(Exception e){
    e.printStackTrace();
}

A very simple solution would be to use:

s = s.replace( "textFiles/a.txt", "something/bob.txt" );

To replace all occurrences, use replaceAll shown in another proposal, where a regular expression is used - take care to escape all magic characters, as indicated there.
