Class RandomAccessFile

java.lang.Object
  ucar.unidata.io.RandomAccessFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput

Direct Known Subclasses:

InMemoryRandomAccessFile

@NotThreadSafe
public class RandomAccessFile
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.DataInput, java.io.DataOutput

A buffered drop-in replacement for java.io.RandomAccessFile. Instances of this class realise substantial speed increases over java.io.RandomAccessFile through the use of buffering. This is a subclass of Object, as it was not possible to subclass java.io.RandomAccessFile because many of the methods are final. However, if it is necessary to use RandomAccessFile and java.io.RandomAccessFile interchangeably, both classes implement the DataInput and DataOutput interfaces.

By Russ Rew, based on BufferedRandomAccessFile by Alex McManus, based on Sun's source code for java.io.RandomAccessFile. For Alex McManus version from which this derives, see his Freeware Java Classes.

public final double readDouble()
                        throws java.io.IOException

Reads a double from this file. This method reads a long value as if by the readLong method and then converts that long to a double using the longBitsToDouble method in class Double.

This method blocks until the eight bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Specified by:

readDouble in interface java.io.DataInput

Returns:

the next eight bytes of this file, interpreted as a double.

Throws:

java.io.EOFException - if this file reaches the end before reading eight bytes.

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

RandomAccessFile.readLong(), Double.longBitsToDouble(long)

readDouble

public final void readDouble(double[] pa,
                             int start,
                             int n)
                      throws java.io.IOException

Read an array of doubles

Parameters:

pa - read into this array

start - starting at pa[start]

n - read this many elements

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on read error

readLine

public final java.lang.String readLine()
                                throws java.io.IOException

Reads the next line of text from this file. This method successively reads bytes from the file until it reaches the end of a line of text.

A line of text is terminated by a carriage-return character ('\r'), a newline character ('\n'), a carriage-return character immediately followed by a newline character, or the end of the input stream. The line-terminating character(s), if any, are included as part of the string returned.

This method blocks until a newline character is read, a carriage return and the byte following it are read (to see if it is a newline), the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Specified by:

readLine in interface java.io.DataInput

Returns:

the next line of text from this file.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

readUTF

public final java.lang.String readUTF()
                               throws java.io.IOException

Reads in a string from this file. The string has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format.

The first two bytes are read as if by readUnsignedShort. This value gives the number of following bytes that are in the encoded string, not the length of the resulting string. The following bytes are then interpreted as bytes encoding characters in the UTF-8 format and are converted into characters.

This method blocks until all the bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Specified by:

readUTF in interface java.io.DataInput

Returns:

a Unicode string.

Throws:

java.io.EOFException - if this file reaches the end before reading all the bytes.

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

java.io.UTFDataFormatException - if the bytes do not represent valid UTF-8 encoding of a Unicode string.
