Can anybody think of a sort of datafile that's reasonably well known and whose records are all fairly regular but which is not XML/SGML/HTML? I've already thought of the normal Unix examples of the passwd file or the termcap file or the utmp or acct files, and of a mailbox that's just a sequence of mail headers and bodies. I have a million examples involving telecom call-data-records and financial ACH records (NACHA files), but I’m looking for stuff more generally known.

Unihedron

.properties

.properties is a file extension for files mainly used in Java related technologies to store the configurable parameters of an application. They can also be used for storing strings for Internationalization and localization; these are known as Property Resource Bundles. Each parameter is stored as a pair of strings, one storing the name of the parameter (called the key), and the other storing the value. == Format == Each line in a .properties file normally stores a single property. Several formats are possible for each line, including key=value, key = value, key:value, and key value. .properties...

It can be fixed width or separated, binary or text.

@Unihedron, I've been using stackoverflow for a very long time.

I started seeing question after question flagged as duplicate, when it wasn't, and no end of pedantic stances made. I saw ego driven commentary show up, and the original charter of SO (and SE) trashed. I started seeing questions hover at 0 rep for a while and then as soon as ONE downvote showed up, many downvotes would show up in a flurry.

These are very detailed with strict definitions. Must fancier than anything in Unix.

@hichris123 Just listing the class types might be an NDA violation. I don't know. I should think about some of the bio records I used to handle maybe.

Unihedron

@tgm1024 Now it's my turn: I've been using Stack Overflow for a relatively short time compared to the caretakers I meet. I was very depressed at the low question quality on the main site - I had to constantly answer bad questions while linking to resources so they can read a basic tutorial, which reveals their incompetence to even debug a simple program. I answered more close-worthy questions than I even feel comfortable admitting to. I asked my first question anxiously, only to find that it was a duplicate. I honestly voted to close it and asked people in the Tavern to help close it for me. — Unihedron 8 secs ago

Once upon a time, it was ordained that certain switches should emit XML records only. The data-processing requirements caused such a melt-down at all levels even at merely 10 billion events a day that a new and much more reasonable format was created that was super-smaller and much more easily recoverable in the face of error than anything like XML could ever be. And all was well in the kingdom again. This has been a fairtytale, and it did not happen.

This is the sort of stuff I mean, with specs: CDR format, NACHA format.

These are very different from anything like XML or JSON or even CSV. And they make INI files look like pattycake.

I do have class definitions for those two types, but it was work-for-hire so those classes are proprietary although the framework is free software. I'm looking for more examples of complicated records to include as examples with the framework.

I don’t know how to ask on any SE site for this without it being Too Broad. If anyone can think of where such a question might be well-received, I would love to know.

I don't normally wear T-shirts anyway.

hichris123

... do you wear a suit then? A polo?

user259867

Argyle sweater vest FTW.

Though the season for that has just ended.

@Braiam No, I don't think so.

@Braiam It's not an LQ bot, even though LQ questions get frequently reported by it. If it was actively looking for LQ posts, we'd be drowning in reports.

@mxprodaja, Does my code work for you or not ? I think what you need to do is read a beginners introduction about Java and Android programming as well as general programming concepts, as you will not get anywhere if you do not know the basic concepts of programming. Start with something simple, build up your knowledge, and enjoy learning ! If you actually enjoy what you are doing you will succeed. Once you have the fundamentals, you should try again. I'd start out with desktop Java, and do easy and small things as you build up your knowledge. — JonasCz 10 mins ago

Sadly, I feel the need to write this ever more often.

Have you spent too much time in the shower if your vision is noticeably white-tinted?
