Hello,
I have a text-file that includes some special characters (UTF-16), I
must write a java class that modifies the text, maintaining these
special characters. I try with:
in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader( new
FileInputStream("PapersVecchio.txt"), "UTF-16"));
but the file is bigger than 135 Mb, and with this code the program return:
java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space
What can I do?
thanks
Simone

I have 1 Gb Ram. I try to set -Xmx516m or -Xmx1024m and re-starting the
workbench, but Eclipse return always the problem:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space.
I try to insert System.out.println("see where is the problem") in the
"While" that reads the file, the error returns when the program reads
the command "line = in.readLine();" but if I try with a small file there
aren't problems...

Hi,
Before you launch your application in Eclipse, have you tried adding the
-Xmx512m argument in the VM arguments in the Arguments pane? Or launch
the java.exe with -vmargs -Xmx512m.
Note: 135MB is a very large text file by any standards, would it be
possible to separate them into many smaller files instead?

Another thing, in addition to Seng Phung-Lu good advice, when working with
files that size,
a common technique is to not work with the whole file in memory. Just to
give one possible
concrete flow ... you could read and re-write to a temp file, until you
detected where you
had to insert some java code, insert that into temp file, then continue on
until you detected
the next point to insert java code, etc. Finally, when all done, rename
the temp file to the
desired file name.
Also, are you literally just reading it in, and saving it? Or, is it also
open in an editor?
If open in an editor, that'll take a lot of extra memory, just to create
the eidtors "Document".
That will be even harder to do, but there are 'tricks' there, like turning
off "quick diff" which
might save some memory.
Hope this helps.
[this is not a true "web tools" question, so you might have more responses
asking on a general
java newsgroup ... and, interesting to know, do you really need something
from Eclipse?
If so, you might get working with "regular java" first, and if you get
that to work, and still
doesn't work in Eclipse, then you could investigate with a profiler to see
what extra things
were being created in Eclipse].
