A hotel salesperson enters sales in a text file. Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons: The name of the client, the service sold (such as Dinner, Conference, Lodging, and so on), the amount of the sale, and the date of that event. Write a java program that reads such a file and displays the total amount for each service category. Display an error if the file does not exist or the format is incorrect. Make sure the program can read a text file and that writes a separate file for each service category, containing the entries for that category. Name the output files Dinner. txt, Conference. txt, and so on.

Complete solution is given below:

Explanation:

Java code:

//Header file section

import java.util.Scanner;

import java.io.*;

//main class

public class SalesTestDemo

{

//main method

public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException

{

  String inFile;

  String line;

  double total = 0;

Scanner scn = new Scanner(System.in);

//Read input file name

System.out.print("Enter input file Name: ");

inFile = scn.nextLine();

FileReader fr = new FileReader(new File(inFile));

BufferedReader br = new BufferedReader(fr);

System.out.println("Name \t\tService_Sold \tAmount \tEvent Date");

System.out.println("");

line = br.readLine();

//Each line contains the following, separated by semicolons:

//The name of the client, the service sold

//(such as Dinner, Conference, Lodging, and so on)

while(line != null)

{

String temp[] = line.split(";");

for(int i = 0; i < temp.length; i++)

{

System.out.print(temp[i]+"\t");

if(i == 1)

System.out.print("\t");

}

//Calculate total amount for each service category

total += Double.parseDouble(temp[2]);

System.out.println();

line = br.readLine();

}

//Display total amount

System.out.println("\nTotal amount for each service category: "+total);

}

}

inputSale.txt:

Peter;Dinner;1500;30/03/2016

Bill;Conference;100.00;29/03/2016

Scott;Lodging;1200;29/03/2016

Output:

Enter input file Name: inputSale.txt

Name        Service_Sold    Amount    Event Date

Peter   Dinner       1500   30/03/2016  

Bill   Conference       100.00   29/03/2016  

Scott   Lodging       1200   29/03/2016  

Total amount for each service category: 2800.0
