Some questions...

Posted by Hiran on January 17, 2002 at 1:50 PM

Chin, thanks for the code, but I have a few clarification questions. First, I don't quite understand the

new String(ch,0,count) part

>

> serviceHistory=new String("");
> InputStream in=new FileInputStream(f);
> 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();
