How to read a file line by line with Java Stream

I'm trying to read a long file line by line and trying in the same time to extract some information from the line.



Here in an example of what i'm doing:



import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.nio.file.Files;
import java.util.stream.Stream;

public class ReadFile_Files_Lines {

public static void main(String pArgs) throws IOException {
String fileName = "c:\temp\sample-1GB.txt";
File file = new File(fileName);

try (Stream<String> linesStream = Files.lines(file.toPath())) {
linesStream.forEach(line -> {
System.out.println(line);
});
}
}
}


One line in my file is devided into three part :



10 1010101 15


I'm looking to read those three informations every time.
Like :



String str1 = line[0];
String str2 = line[1];
String str3 = line[2];


The solution i'm looking for will be better if i should not convert the stream to a collection.
I will use those 3 String to create a graph data structure, something like :



createGraphe(str1,str2,str3);`


I know that i can send the full String, but as i'm learning Stream I'm interested to know how to extract those informations.



Thank you.

    Your question is not clear to me. What do you want to do with the three elements? Don't store it if you don't want to

  • @user7 I know... Maybe it is not that much... ;-) The word long is not really specific. But yes, there may be far better ideas.

You can map to an array by splitting each line, then call the method you want.



Files.lines(filePath)
.map(l -> l.split(" "))
.forEach(a -> createGraphe(a[0], a[1], a[2]));

The method lines() you are using already does what you expect it to do.



Java 8 has added a new method called lines() in Files class which can be used to read a file line by line in Java. The beauty of this method is that it reads all lines from a file as Stream of String, which is populated lazily as the stream is consumed. So, if you have a huge file and you only read first 100 lines then rest of the lines will not be loaded into memory, which results in better performance.



This is slightly different than Files.readAllLines() method (which reads all lines into a List) because this method reads the file lazily, only when a terminal operation is called on Stream e.g. forEach(), count() etc. By using count() method you can actually count a number of lines in files or number of empty lines by filtering empty lines.

Since you want to solve this problem and want to learn how streams can be useful in this situation





  1. Reading a file(Using Java8) , this will fetch you all the lines in the file: Stream lines = Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath))


  2. Reading this file line by line : lines.map(line -> line.split(pattern)) , by splitting the line and you will get three sections from the line


  3. Passing the arguments obtained into the function : forEach(arg -> createGraphe(arg[0], arg[1], arg[2]);


I hope this is pretty elaborate for your answer if you want to achieve this

        1. Reading a file(Using Java8) , this will fetch you all the lines in the file: Stream lines = Files.lines(Paths.get(filePath))


        2. Reading this file line by line : lines.map(line -> line.split(pattern)) , by splitting the line and you will get three sections from the line


        3. Passing the arguments obtained into the function : forEach(arg -> createGraphe(arg[0], arg[1], arg[2]);


        I hope this is pretty elaborate for your answer if you want to achieve this
