I've got a text file that has many lines. All that I care about is grabbing the first two words separated by a ":" and delete everything else after that.
Let's imagine the text file's contents look like this. The amount of ":" is random, I only want the first two words.
Sweet:Candy:Bear:Heaven:Ball
Mac:Cheese:Sauce:Code
Kebab:Shop:Space
I want to keep the first two words seperated by a ":" and delete everything else after that.
So I want to end up with something like this:
Sweet Candy
Mac Cheese
Kebab Shop

With the current code below, I get this output:
Sweet
Candy
Sweet, Mac
Candy, Cheese
Sweet, Mac, Kebab
Candy, Cheese, Shop
public void formatAccounts() throws InterruptedException {
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath))) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
String[] parts = line.split(":");
a.add(parts[0]);
b.add(parts[1]);
System.out.println(a);
System.out.println(b);
sleep(1000);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
public void formatTxtFile() throws InterruptedException {
try (BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(filePath))) {
String line;
while ((line = br.readLine()) != null) {
String[] parts = line.split(":");
System.out.println(parts[0] + " " +parts[1]);
Thread.sleep(1000);
}
} catch (IOException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
Create a file any where, and try to run the above code.you will get the expected result.
