access hashtable within a hashtable
HI:
can someone show me how to access and print a hashtable that's part of
the data of another hashtable?
the way i do it now the output is so long that it make the generated
log file unopenable in
in an editor (unix VI)
here is an example that illustrates my problem
cat PrintHashtable.java
import java.util.*;
public class PrintHashtable {
public static void main(String[] args) {
// Create and populate hashtable
Hashtable ht = new Hashtable();
ht.put("ABC", "abc");
ht.put("XYZ", "xyz");
ht.put("MNO", "mno");
Hashtable htData1 = new Hashtable();
htData1.put("CBA1", "abc1");
htData1.put("CBA2", "abc2");
htData1.put("CBA3", "abc3");
htData1.put("CBA3", "abc33");
ht.put("ABCD", htData1);
// Display hashtable.
Enumeration e = ht.keys();
String key = null;
while(e.hasMoreElements()){
key = (String)e.nextElement();
System.out.println("Key: " + key + " Val: " + ht.get(key));
}
}
}
Compile:
javac PrintHashtable.java
Execute:
java PrintHashtable
Key: ABCD Val: {CBA1=abc1, CBA3=abc33, CBA2=abc2}
Key: ABC Val: abc
Key: MNO Val: mno
Key: XYZ Val: xyz
the problem with the output is with first line:
Key: ABCD Val: {CBA1=abc1, CBA3=abc33, CBA2=abc2}
in the real application it can be thousands of characters long.
so i would like the output to be more like (for example):
Key: ABCD Val: {CBA1=abc1,
CBA3=abc33,
CBA2=abc2}
Key: ABC Val: abc
Key: MNO Val: mno
Key: XYZ Val: xyz
that is break it up into multiple lines.
any help is appreciated.
thanks
