Comments on: Fixedformat4j released! http://www.ancientprogramming.com/2008/05/25/fixedformat4j-released/ What I encounter in my software part of life is in danger of being commented upon here Thu, 20 Nov 2008 21:27:24 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.3 By: jeyben http://www.ancientprogramming.com/2008/05/25/fixedformat4j-released/#comment-48 jeyben Sun, 01 Jun 2008 16:07:56 +0000 http://www.ancientprogramming.com/2008/05/25/fixedformat4j-released/#comment-48 @Andries Inzé Thanks for your feedback. Currently my focus has been on parsing/formatting one single line. I have not dived into a general way for reading/writing larger files. At the project where we use the framework we have build a, what we call RecordModel as a view on a file. Each line in our file is recognized by a combination of characters in the beginning of the file. Ex. We have a line type called A0, because it startes with an A and a zero. We have created the boilerplate code you talk about and it would be natural to have something doing the hardwork in fixedformat4j. I am still thinking on how I could load a complete file without being to domain specific and your suggestion could be a solution. On the otherhand I would like it to integrate with the fixedformatmanager and the Records somehow. @Andries Inzé

I'm curious, it there any support for handling very large files? Something like an iterator so I could read one line at a time. It would help with boilerplate code for reading the lines (using a Scanner for instance). Nice framework.
