Re: Problem with Copying and Renaming File once it reaches a limit

code that messy is downright insulting. It a fuck-you slap in the face
to your readers.

Here it is untangled:

import java.io.BufferedWriter;
import java.io.FileWriter;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
public class File1
   {
   public static void main(String[] args)
      {
      String nameRename;
      java.io.File file;
      // Date d = new Date();
      Calendar c = Calendar.getInstance();
      String date1= new String();
      //nameRename += d.getMonth);
      try
         {
         Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
         DateFormat shortFormatter =
         SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance( SimpleDateFormat.SHORT );
         // create a long version date formatter
         DateFormat longFormatter = SimpleDateFormat.getDateInstance(
SimpleDateFormat.LONG );
         date1 = (String)longFormatter.format( today );

         System.out.println("DATE 1 is"+date1);
         file = new java.io.File("C://dblog");
         // Create file if it does not exist
         boolean exist = file.createNewFile();
         if ( !exist )
            {
            System.out.println("File already exists.");
            }
         else
            {
            System.out.println("File created successfully.");
            }
          long length = file.length();
         if ( length == 1 || length > 1 )
            {
            int i = 0;
            i=(int)length;
            // File (or directory) with new name

            System.out.println("entering here");
            file = new java.io.File(file +date1+i);

            // Rename file (or directory) boolean success
= file.renameTo(file);
            if ( success )
               {
               System.out.println("Successfully renamed !");
               file.createNewFile();
               // File was not successfully renamed
               }
            else
               {
               System.out.println("renaming failed");
               }
              i--;
            }
         System.out.println("length is "+length);
         BufferedWriter out = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file,
true));
         out.newLine();
         /* uncomment this for non-windows files*/
         //out.write("\r");
         out.write("testing for database update transaction logging");
out.close();
         }
      catch ( IOException e )
         {
         }
      catch ( Exception e1 )
         {
         }
      }
