Java Programming

Hi to all,

I need to convert a file let us say .txt file or .html file in to BigDecimal.
To do this first I will read the file and stored in Byte Array and then converted byte array in to String. There is a Constructor in BigDecimal which accepts String and converts it into BigDecimal but for that String should contains Numeric values but my string contains Characters and symbols can any one provide help regarding this.

Code for Converting File into String is as below.

import java.io.*;
import java.sql.*;
import java.math.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String[] args)throws IOException
{
try {
String inpName = "index.htm";
File inpFile = new File(inpName);
long lcount = inpFile.length();
int icount = (int) lcount;
InputStream inp = new FileInputStream(inpFile);
int acount = inp.available();
if (icount != acount)
{
System.out.println("all bytes not available");
return;
}
byte[] iobytes = new byte[acount];
int ic = 0;
while (ic < acount)
{
ic += inp.read(iobytes, ic, acount - ic);
}
inp.close();
String sname=new String(iobytes);
System.out.println(sname);


Converting file data into String is working fine but now I have to convert this data in to BigDecimal type.



Thanks in advance,
Durga.
