Georg Henzler updated IO-288:
-----------------------------
Attachment: ReversedLinesFileReader0.2.zip
I didn't really like the "inefficient" idea of using the BufferedReader to get
around the encoding issue... so I read up about encodings in general and I
think the solution as provided works for all one byte encodings, UTF-8,
UTF-16BE/UTF-16LE and Shift-JIS. For other encodings at the moment an exception
is thrown to be on the safe side (but this can be easily extended).
Also, now \r alone is treated as newline as well.
PS: Added Apache headers and removed author tag.

> I needed to analyse a log file today and I was looking for a
> ReversedLinesFileReader: A class that behaves exactly like BufferedReader
> except that it goes from bottom to top when readLine() is called. I didn't
> find it in IOUtils and the internet didn't help a lot either, e.g.
> http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0180__File/ReversingaFile.htm is a fairly
> inefficient - the log files I'm analysing are huge and it is not a good idea
> to load the whole content in the memory.
> So I ended up writing an implementation myself using little memory and the
> class RandomAccessFile - see attached file. It's used as follows:
> int blockSize = 4096; // only that much memory is needed, no matter how big
> the file is
> ReversedLinesFileReader reversedLinesFileReader = new ReversedLinesFileReader
> (myFile, blockSize, "UTF-8"); // encoding is supported
> String line = null;
> while((line=reversedLinesFileReader.readLine())!=null) {
> ... // use the line
> if(enoughLinesSeen) {
> break;
> }
> }
> reversedLinesFileReader.close();
> I believe this could be useful for other people as well!
