[FIXED] Importing from String instead of File

[ppareja]

Hi all,

I don't find the way to import a gexf model from a String instead of from a File.
The class ImportController does not seem to expose such a method, is there any other class/method I could use for this purpose?
Thanks in advance,

Pablo

Import controller can import from InputStream and Reader, in the same way than files. However, it can't automatically guess what format you are using, as there is no file extension, so you have to provide the appropriate importer. The GEXF importer can simply be retrieved using the getFileImporter() method.

Code: Select all

ImportController importController = Lookup.getDefault().lookup(ImportController.class);
String str = ...
StringReader reader = new StringReader(str);
Container c = importController.importFile(reader, importController.getFileImporter("gexf"));

Ok, thanks a lot.

Hi again,

I just tried your piece of code and the statement:

Code: Select all

importController.getFileImporter("gexf")

returns null,
why's that?

I'm using version 0.7.2014

Cheers,

Pablo

That should work, but I looked at the code we are actually checking for the extension, so do that

Code: Select all

importController.getFileImporter(".gexf")

and it should work. I will report a bug, as having both matching is expected.

Hi Bastian,

I just tried that fix and it works fine now, thanks
