searching file for string

[Michael]

Hi all,

I have a html file that i'm trying to get data from, i need to search for a
specific string/tag and read the text between it and the close tag.

the setout of the data is like
<td> information to read into string </td>

sent a lil early :)

the tags that i am going to match on only appear in the context that i
require, im just unsure of a method that'd search from a set location in the
file for a specific string and then return an offset where the next
occurrence is,

anyone know of a method that's do the job?

thanks in advance

Make the whole file into a single string:

try{
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(file);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
MappedByteBuffer mbf
= fc.map(FileChannel.MapMode.READ_ONLY, 0, fc.size());
byte[] barray = new byte[(int)(fc.size())];
mbf.get(barray);
lines = new String(barray); //one big string
}
 

And do the regular expression search on the string.
_Mastering Regular Expression_, 2nd ed. from O'Reilly
is a good book.
