I have array
data[][];
convert to string:
string = Arrays.deepToString(data);
string:
[[1, 1394119227787, 59474093, USD/DKK, true, 0.05, 5.391582, 5.00663, 5.39663, null, null], [1, 1394581174413, 59500543, EUR/JPY, false, 0.05, 142.489381, 145.3, 139.68, null, null],
[1, 1394581174413, 59500543, EUR/JPY, false, 0.05, 142.489381, 145.3, 139.68, null, null],
[1, 1394581174413, 59500543, EUR/JPY, false, 0.05, 142.489381, 145.3, 139.68, null, null]]
and How convert this string back to array?
Try my stringToDeep() method to convert back to Array.
import java.util.*;
public class DeepToArray {
public static void main(String[] args) {
int row, col;
row = 2;
col = 3;
String[][] in = new String[row][col];
for (int i = 0; i < row; i++) {
for (int j = 0; j < col; j++) {
in[i][j] = i + " " + j;
}
}
String str = Arrays.deepToString(in);
System.out.println(str);
String[][] out = stringToDeep(str);
for (String s2[] : out) {
for (String s3 : s2) {
System.out.print(s3 + " ");
}
System.out.println();
}
}
private static String[][] stringToDeep(String str) {
int row = 0;
int col = 0;
for (int i = 0; i < str.length(); i++) {
if (str.charAt(i) == '[') {
row++;
}
}
row--;
for (int i = 0;; i++) {
if (str.charAt(i) == ',') {
col++;
}
if (str.charAt(i) == ']') {
break;
}
}
col++;
String[][] out = new String[row][col];
str = str.replaceAll("\\[", "").replaceAll("\\]", "");
String[] s1 = str.split(", ");
int j = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < s1.length; i++) {
if (i % col == 0) {
j++;
}
out[j][i % col] = s1[i];
//System.out.println(s1[i] + "\t" + j + "\t" + i % col);
}
return out;
}
}
There is no method in the java API that will automatically convert this back to an array. You could write code to do this yourself, but it would be tricky; this format does not escape special characters like the square brackets, or the commas. It might be easier just to use a format which is designed for encoding and decoding arrays, like JSON.
