Why does the stream position go to the end

I have a csv file, after I overwrite 1 line with the Write method, after re-writing to the file everything is already added to the end of the file, and not to a specific line
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI;
using UnityEngine;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
public class LoadQuestion : MonoBehaviour
{
int index;
string path;
FileStream file;
StreamReader reader;
StreamWriter writer;
public Text City;
public string[] allQuestion;
public string[] addedQuestion;
private void Start()
{
index = 0;
path = Application.dataPath + "/Files/Questions.csv";
allQuestion = File.ReadAllLines(path, Encoding.GetEncoding(1251));
file = new FileStream(path, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite);
writer = new StreamWriter(file, Encoding.GetEncoding(1251));
reader = new StreamReader(file, Encoding.GetEncoding(1251));
writer.AutoFlush = true;
List<string> _questions = new List<string>();
for (int i = 0; i < allQuestion.Length; i++)
{
char status = allQuestion[i][0];
if (status == '0')
{
_questions.Add(allQuestion[i]);
}
}
addedQuestion = _questions.ToArray();
City.text = ParseToCity(addedQuestion[0]);
}
private string ParseToCity(string current)
{
string _city = "";
string[] data = current.Split(';');
_city = data[2];
return _city;
}
private void OnApplicationQuit()
{
writer.Close();
reader.Close();
file.Close();
}
public void IKnow()
{
string[] quest = addedQuestion[index].Split(';');
int indexFromFile = int.Parse(quest[1]);
string questBeforeAnsver = "";
for (int i = 0; i < quest.Length; i++)
{
if (i == 0)
{
questBeforeAnsver += "1";
}
else
{
questBeforeAnsver += ";" + quest[i];
}
}
Debug.Log("indexFromFile : " + indexFromFile);
for (int i = 0; i < allQuestion.Length; i++)
{
if (i == indexFromFile)
{
writer.Write(questBeforeAnsver);
break;
}
else
{
reader.ReadLine();
}
}
reader.DiscardBufferedData();
reader.BaseStream.Seek(0, SeekOrigin.Begin);
if (index < addedQuestion.Length - 1)
{
index++;
}
City.text = ParseToCity(addedQuestion[index]);
}
}
There are lines in the file by type :
0;0;Africa
0;1;London
0;2;Paris
The bottom line is that this is a game, and only those questions whose status is 0, that is, unanswered, are downloaded from the file. And if during the game the user clicks that he knows the answer, then there is a line in the file and is overwritten, only the status is no longer 0, but 1 and when the game is repeated, this question will not load.
It turns out for me that the first question is overwritten successfully, and all subsequent ones are simply added at the end of the file :
1;0;Africa
0;1;London
0;2;Paris1;1;London1;2;Paris
What's wrong ?

write to separate columns in csv

I am trying to write 2 different arrays to a csv. The first one I want in the first column, and second array in the second column, like so:
array1val1 array2val1
array1val2 array2val2
I am using the following code:
String userHomeFolder2 = System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop";
String csvFile = (userHomeFolder2 + "/" + fileName.getText() + ".csv");
FileWriter writer = new FileWriter(csvFile);
final String NEW_LINE_SEPARATOR = "\n";
FileWriter fileWriter;
CSVPrinter csvFilePrinter;
CSVFormat csvFileFormat = CSVFormat.DEFAULT.withRecordSeparator(NEW_LINE_SEPARATOR);
fileWriter = new FileWriter(fileName.getText());
csvFilePrinter = new CSVPrinter(fileWriter, csvFileFormat);
try (PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(csvFile)) {
pw.printf("%s\n", FILE_HEADER);
for(int z = 0; z < compSource.size(); z+=1) {
//below forces the result to get stored in below variable as a String type
String newStr=compSource.get(z);
String newStr2 = compSource2.get(z);
newStr.replaceAll(" ", "");
newStr2.replaceAll(" ", "");
String[] explode = newStr.split(",");
String[] explode2 = newStr2.split(",");
pw.printf("%s\n", explode, explode2);
}
}
catch (Exception e) {
System.out.println("Error in csvFileWriter");
e.printStackTrace();
} finally {
try {
fileWriter.flush();
fileWriter.close();
csvFilePrinter.close();
} catch (IOException e ) {
System.out.println("Error while flushing/closing");
}
}
However I am getting a strange output into the csv file:
[Ljava.lang.String;#17183ab4
I can run
pw.printf("%s\n", explode);
pw.printf("%s\n", explode2);
Instead of : pw.printf("%s\n", explode, explode2);
and it prints the actual strings but all in one same column.
Does anyone know how to solve this?

1.Your explode and explode2 are actually String Arrays. You are printing the arrays and not the values of it. So you get at the end the ADRESS of the array printed.
You should go through the arrays with a loop and print them out.
for(int i = 0; i<explode.length;++i) {
pw.printf("%s%s\n", explode[i], explode2[i]);
}
2.Also the method printf should be look something like
pw.printf("%s%s\n", explode, explode2);
because youre are printing two arguments, but in ("%s\n", explode, explode2) is only one printed.
Try it out and say if it worked

After these lines:
newStr.replaceAll(" ", "");
newStr2.replaceAll(" ", "");
String[] explode = newStr.split(",");
String[] explode2 = newStr2.split(",");
Use this code:
int maxLength = Math.max(explode.length, explode2.length);
for (int i = 0; i < maxLength; i++) {
String token1 = (i < explode.length) ? explode[i] : "";
String token2 = (i < explode2.length) ? explode2[i] : "";
pw.printf("%s %s\n", token1, token2);
}
This also cover the case that the arrays are of different length.

I have removed all unused variables and made some assumptions about content of compSource.
Moreover, don't forget String is immutable. If you just do "newStr.replaceAll(" ", "");", the replacement will be lost.
public class Tester {
#Test
public void test() throws IOException {
// I assumed compSource and compSource2 are like bellow
List<String> compSource = Arrays.asList("array1val1,array1val2");
List<String> compSource2 = Arrays.asList("array2val1,array2val2");
String userHomeFolder2 = System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop";
String csvFile = (userHomeFolder2 + "/test.csv");
try (PrintWriter pw = new PrintWriter(csvFile)) {
pw.printf("%s\n", "val1,val2");
for (int z = 0; z < compSource.size(); z++) {
String newStr = compSource.get(z);
String newStr2 = compSource2.get(z);
// String is immutable --> store the result otherwise it will be lost
newStr = newStr.replaceAll(" ", "");
newStr2 = newStr2.replaceAll(" ", "");
String[] explode = newStr.split(",");
String[] explode2 = newStr2.split(",");
for (int k = 0; k < explode.length; k++) {
pw.println(explode[k] + "\t" + explode2[k]);
}
}
}
}
}

How do I create an Array or ArrayList with a looped, column of strings that contain integers?

I have tried so hard to find a solution to this problem! Here is my code:
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.reflect.Array;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class Weather {
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
//Getting the file.
String fileName = "weather2013.txt";
//Lines!
String line;
//Creating arrayList object
ArrayList aList = new ArrayList();
try {
BufferedReader input = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(fileName));
while ((line = input.readLine()) != null) {
aList.add(line);
}
//Close the file
input.close();
} catch (FileNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println("File not found!");
}
//Station ID Number:
String firstLine = aList.get(1).toString();
String stationIDStr = firstLine.substring(0, 6);
int StationID = Integer.parseInt(stationIDStr);
//System.out.println(StationID);
//WBAN ID Number:
String wbanIDstr = firstLine.substring(7, 12);
int wbanID = Integer.parseInt(wbanIDstr);
//System.out.println(wbanID);
//Year!
String yearStr = firstLine.substring(12, 18).trim();
int year = Integer.parseInt(yearStr);
//System.out.println(year);
//Remove line of text (not needed)
aList.remove(0);
//Fog days:
int fogDays = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < aList.size(); i++) {
String listString = aList.get(i).toString(); //iterate each readLINE -> String
String lastDigits = listString.substring(132, 137); //Each entry from 132-137 only
char fogIndicator = lastDigits.charAt(0);
if (fogIndicator == '1') {
fogDays++;
}
}
//System.out.println(fogDays);
//Maximum and minimum average temps
for (int i = 0; i < aList.size(); i++) {
String listString = aList.get(i).toString();
String averageTempDigits = listString.substring(24, 30).trim();
}
}
}
The specific part of the code where I am having trouble is the VERY last for loop.
Here's what's being outputted:
47.9
41.8
.

.
.
41.8
67.0
66.5
I would like to know how to get this column above into an Array or ArrayList?

Scanner from file doesn't seem to be reading file

I'm doing a Phone Directory project and we have to read from a directory file telnos.txt
I'm using a Scanner to load the data from the file telnos.txt, using a loadData method from a previous question I asked here on StackOverflow.
I noticed attempts to find a user always returned Not Found, so I added a few System.out.printlns in the methods to help me see what was going on. It looks like the scanner isn't reading anything from the file. Weirdly, it is printing the name of the file as what should be the first line read, which makes me think I've missed something very very simple here.

telnos.txt

In your code:
Scanner read = new Scanner("telnos.txt");
Is not going to load file 'telnos.txt'. It is instead going to create a Scanner object that scans the String "telnos.txt".
To make the Scanner understand that it has to scan a file you have to either:
Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("telnos.txt"));
or create a File object and pass its path to the Scanner constructor.
In case you are getting "File not found" errors you need to check the current working directory. You could run the following lines and see if you are indeed in the right directory in which the file is:
String workingDir = System.getProperty("user.dir");
System.out.println("Current working directory : " + workingDir);
You need to also catch the FileNotFoundException in the function as follows:
public void loadData(String sourceName) {
try {
Scanner read = new Scanner(new File("telnos.txt")).useDelimiter("\\Z");
int i = 1;
String name = null;
String telno = null;
while (read.hasNextLine()) {
if (i % 2 != 0)
name = read.nextLine();
else {
telno = read.nextLine();
add(name, telno);
}
i++;
}
}catch(FileNotFoundException ex) {
System.out.println("File not found:"+ex.getMessage);
}
}

You are actually parsing the filename not the actual file contents.
Instead of:
new Scanner("telnos.txt")
you need
new Scanner( new File( "telnos.txt" ) )

Input file with names and popularity Java

So I have a file that has names along with 11 popularity ranks which looks like this. <--- (this is a link) I am a bit confused on what I am suppose to do with this next part that I have for my assignment. Generally I have a name app that looks like this:
public class Name{
private String givenName;
private int[] ranks = new int[11];
public Name(String name, int[] popularityRanks){
givenName = name;
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++){
ranks[i] = popularityRanks[i];
}
}
public String getName(){
return givenName;
}
public int getPop(int decade){
if (decade >= 1 && decade <= 11){
return ranks[decade];
}
else{
return -1;
}
}
public String getHistoLine(int decade){
String histoLine = ranks[decade] + ": ";
return histoLine;
}
public String getHistogram(){
String histogram = "";
for (int i = 0; i < 11; i++){
histogram += ranks[i] + ": " + this.getHistoLine(i)
+ "\n";
}
return histogram;
}
}
It is not finished for the getHistoLine but that doesn't have anything to do with what I am trying to do. Generally I want to take these names in from the file and create an array of list.
How he describes it:
Create the array in main, pass it to the readNamesFile method and let that method fill it with Name objects
Test this, by printing out various names and their popularity rankings
For example, if main named the array, list, then upon return from the readNamesFile method do something like:
System.out.println( list[0].getName() + list[0].getPop(1) );
This is what my main looks like:
import java.util.Scanner;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.FileNotFoundException;
public class NameApp{
public static void main(String[] args){
Name list[] = new Name()
}
private static void loadFile(){
Scanner inputStream = null;
String fileName = "names.txt";
try {
inputStream = new Scanner (new File(fileName));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error opening file named: " + fileName);
System.out.println("Exiting...");
}
while (inputStream.hasNext()){
}
}
}
I am just a bit confused how I can take the name have it send to the Name object list[] and then take the popularity ranks and send it to the Name object list[]. So when I call
list[0].getName()
it will just call the name for one of the lines... Sorry I am a bit new to the java language. Thanks in advance

You need to create a Name list correctly. I would use a List since you don't know how many names there will be;
public static void main(String[] args){
List<Name> list = new ArrayList<Name>();
loadFile();
System.out.println(list.get(0).getPop());
}
private static void loadFile(){
Scanner inputStream = null;
String fileName = "names.txt";
try {
inputStream = new Scanner (new File(fileName));
}
catch (FileNotFoundException e){
System.out.println("Error opening file named: " + fileName);
System.out.println("Exiting...");
}
while (inputStream.hasNext()){
// givenName = something
// ranks = something;
list.add(new Name(givenName, ranks);
}
}
Assuming each line is something like this (from your deleted comment)
A 1 234 22 43 543 32 344 32 43
Your while loop can be something like this
while (inputStream.hasNextLIne()){
String line = inputStream.nextLine();
String tokens = line.split("\\s+");
String givenName = tokens[0];
int[] numList = new int[tokens.lenth - 1];
for (int i = 1; i < tokens.length; i++){
numList[i - 1] = Integer.parseInt(tokens[i].trim());
}
list.add(new Name(givenName, numList);
}
