Here is the code I was writing to demonstrate pipes for I/O....

import java.io.*;

class PipeApp
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
PipeApp pipeApp = new PipeApp();
try
{
FileInputStream AFileIn = new FileInputStream("input.txt");
InputStream BInPipe = pipeApp.changeToB(AFileIn);
InputStream CInPipe = pipeApp.changeToC(BInPipe);
System.out.println();
System.out.println("Here is the results:");
System.out.println();
BufferedReader inputStream = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(CInPipe));
String str = inputStream.readLine();
while (str != null)
{
System.out.println(str);
str = inputStream.readLine();
}
inputStream.close();
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
}

public InputStream changeToB(InputStream inputStream)
{
try
{
BufferedReader AFileIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
PipedOutputStream pipeOut = new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream pipeIn = new PipedInputStream(pipeOut);
PrintStream printStream = new PrintStream(pipeOut);
Thread bThread = new Thread(AFileIn, printStream);
bThread.start();
return pipeIn;
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
return null;
}
public InputStream changeToC(InputStream inputStream)
{
try
{
BufferedReader BFileIn = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(inputStream));
PipedOutputStream pipeOut2 = new PipedOutputStream();
PipedInputStream pipeIn2 = new PipedInputStream(pipeOut2);
PrintStream printStream2 = new PrintStream(pipeOut2);
Thread cThread = new Thread(BFileIn, printStream2);
cThread.start();
return pipeIn2;
}
catch (InterruptedException e)
{
System.out.println(e.toString());
}
return null;
}

}

I keep getting an error on the two lines that are:
Thread bThread = new Thread(AfileIn, printStream2);
and
Thread cThread = new Thread(BfileIn, printStream2);

when I compile it gives me an error about the "new" it says:
cannot resolve symbol...

I may have messed up elsewhere but I remember being told that the first error is usually the error and those are the only two errors I get.

Can anyone assist me,

Thanks

hi chancit2003,

the first message from the compiler is

PipeApp.java:42: cannot resolve symbol
symbol : constructor Thread (java.io.BufferedReader,java.io.PrintStream)
location: class java.lang.Thread
Thread bThread = new Thread(AFileIn, printStream);


it has a problem with 'constructor Thread (java.io.BufferedReader,java.io.PrintStream)'. there is no Thread() constructor that takes java.io.BufferedReader and java.io.PrintStream as arguments.
see http://java.sun.com/...ang/Thread.html to view Thread() constructors.

notice that the compiler has identified the line number 'PipeApp.java:42' and source code file.

also notice that the offending line is shown 'Thread bThread = new Thread(AFileIn, printStream);'.

it is pointing to 'new' since it cannot create a new Thread() object.

it appears that these lines are unnecessary. why are you using threads here?

if the Thread lines are removed, the remaining task is to include try/catch blocks for the io exceptions that the compiler will kindly point out.

when you use the java.io.* package don't you have to have throws IOException in the method in which you are using it? Ie:

import java.io.*

public class example
{
public static void main(String [] args) throws IOException
{
All you code goes here
}
}

Nope. The code will not compile unless all exceptions that need handling (i.e. not run-time exceptions) are handled. You can handle them by either having the method throw them, or by catching them. If you have the method throw them, then as soon as an exception is thrown, the program will end. By using a try-catch statement, it will just exit the try clause and excecute the code in the catch clause.

Hope this helps!

Im sure that Java has only 4 Thread Constructor types:

Thread t = new Thread();
Thread t = new Thread(Runnable r);
Thread t = new Thread(Runnable r, String s);
Thread t = new Thread(String s);

Another thing is that you havent defined a run() method used by the threads
