newline

Hey,

I'm trying to seek through a RandomAccessFile, and as part of an algorithm I have to read a line, and then seek backwards from the end of the line

E.g

String line = raf.readLine();
raf.seek (raf.getFilePointer() - line.length() + m.start() + m.group().length());

//m is a Matcher for regular expressions

I've been getting loads of off-by-one errors and couldn't figure out why. I just discovered it's because some files I'm reading from have UNIX-style linefeeds, \r\n, and some have just windows-style \n.

Is there an easy to have the RandomAccessFile treat all linefeeds as windows-style linefeeds?

Hi, After some serious googleing I found out that the RandomAccessFile-class is not thread-safe. Now I could use one semaphore to lock all reads and writes but I don't think that performs very well.
