A2Z, Week 1
January 26, 2008
For my first week’s assignment, I chose to take in some text from the Bible (genesis), parse the text into words, find all the references to ‘God’, and replace them with ‘Ben’. I then printed out the 3 words following all of the references into a new text file, with some humourous results.
The code:
// Word search and replace
// Ben Leduc-Mills
// Programming A2Z, Spring 08
// Based off of code by Daniel Shiffman import java.io.*;
import java.nio.*;
import java.nio.channels.*;
public class Blm272Week1 {
public static void main (String[] args) throws IOException {
// Create an input stream and file channel
// Using first arguemnt as file name to read in
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(args[0]);
FileChannel fc = fis.getChannel();
// Read the contents of a file into a ByteBuffer
ByteBuffer bb = ByteBuffer.allocate((int)fc.size());
fc.read(bb);
fc.close();
// Convert ByteBuffer to one long String
String content = new String(bb.array());
//Split text by wherever there is a space
String[] words = content.split(" ");
System.out.println("Read " + words.length + " words from " + args[0]);
StringBuffer gods = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0; i < words.length; i+=2) {
if (words[i].equals("God")) {
gods.append(words[i] + " " + words[i+1] + " " + words[i+2] + " " + words[i+3] + "\n");
}
}
String output = gods.toString();
String ben = output.replace("God", "Ben");
// Create an output stream and file channel to write out a report
// (Also print out report to screen)
FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream(args[1]);
FileChannel outfc = fos.getChannel();
// Convert content String into ByteBuffer and write out to file
bb = ByteBuffer.wrap(ben.getBytes());
outfc.write(bb);
outfc.close();
System.out.println("Reversed text written to " + args[1]);
}
}
And the results:
Ben said, Let there Ben divided the Ben called the light Ben said, Let there Ben called the dry Ben said, Let the Ben saw that it Ben said, Let the Ben saw that Ben said, Let the Ben made the beast Ben said, Let us Ben created man in Ben blessed them, and Ben said unto them, Ben said, Behold, I Ben ended his work Ben blessed the seventh Ben created Ben had Ben formed man of Ben to grow every Ben said, It is Ben formed every beast Ben had made. And Ben said unto the Ben said, Behold, the Ben made he him; 01:005:002 Ben after he begat Ben took him. 01:005:025 And Ben came in unto Ben said unto Noah, Ben commanded him, so Ben had commanded him: Ben made a wind Ben spake unto Noah, Ben said, This is Ben of Shem; and Ben talked with him, Ben unto thee, and Ben said unto Abraham, Ben said, Sarah thy Ben went up from Ben destroyed the cities Ben remembered Abraham, and Ben came to Abimelech Ben said unto him Ben caused me to Ben had commanded him. 01:021:005 Ben hath made me Ben said unto Abraham, Ben heard the voice Ben opened her eyes, Ben was with the Ben that thou wilt Ben did tempt Ben had told him. 01:022:004 Ben will provide himself Ben had told him Ben of the earth, Ben of my master Ben of my master Ben of my master Ben give thee of Ben of Isaac: the Ben will be with Ben hath judged me, Ben hearkened unto Leah, Ben hath given me Ben hath endued me Ben remembered Rachel, and Ben hearkened to her, Ben hath taken away Ben of Bethel, where Ben hath taken from Ben came to Laban Ben of Ben of my father, Ben of Nahor, the Ben of their Ben of my father Ben of my Ben and with men, Ben hath dealt graciously Ben said unto Jacob, Ben was upon the Ben said unto him, Ben said unto him, Ben Almighty: be fruitful Ben went up from Ben will shortly Ben is? 01:041:039 And Pharaoh Ben hath Ben be gracious unto Ben forbid that I Ben sent me before Ben of his father Ben spake unto Israel Ben hath shewed me Ben which fed me Ben shall be Ben of thy father,
